I believe it has quite an interesting story, as far as diplomacy goes. I will try to be as neutral as I can be in this...timeline.
First Month
Me.
I joined the server on Day 1. My first evony server, I had no idea what the game even was. I named myself "Hachi" most random thing I could think of. Began building and applied to "LORDS" a few days into the server. I was a low prestige noob, but thankfully they accepted. Under the great leadership that we had at that point, I learned a lot. LazarusPo, Gauntlet, Pocalypse, Supermum, Gandolf1, Brok and Lostlink were great people. I did more watching than I did fighting throughout the first month. Saxony went like this:
War. TheDead vs. LORDS.
We had a girl, i believe, named Wacko. Singlehandedly took this war into her own hands. Brilliant starter. Deadrising himself was only 30 miles away from me and attempted to take my second city. This was the first act of war upon LORDS, I believe. Wacko, then decided that Deadrising needed to go. She ported in his NPC field and took out Deadrising a few days later. Then she left the server a few days/weeks after. Missed her.
War. Misfits vs. LORDS
I'm sure there has been some stuff that I missed in between this, but oh well. Misfits were probably the greatest challenge for LORDS. Misfits was pretty powerful, with some great players. Carvin and SwellD, both I believe were in Misfits and were great players. The war went like any other, with many acts of diplomacy, friendly and then back to war. The war ended with LORDS winning and "gobbling" up most of the Misfits. Shortly after, we gained our sister, Supreme, under a guy named Whistle.
The ruling of Saxony.
Together, Supreme and LORDS gobbled up all the smaller allainces in Saxony. By this time, we had established relationships with the 88's, the "owners" of the server. NPC fields were perfected, cities finished and armies rebuilt after the Misfits war. Soon, we decided that we needed to extend our boundaries outside of saxony. GBR (I believe thats what it was called) owned the state to our north and held their ground solid. We tried a few times to invade, but never got far. So, we decided Friesland should be our next state.
The Fight for Friesland
As a member on the border of Saxony and Friesland (been there since day 1) I "instigated the fight." We had many powerful members on this border, Gauntlet, LostLink, Carvin, SwellD, Br1tish, Flanders; to name a few. Others ported in.
War. Pleasure vs. LORDS. Many of the Pleasure members were weak, with little armies, who we destroyed rather quickly. Their host and VH, LadyLeesa and GillMerr were a couple in real life at the time. They had decent armies, nothing on the might of LORDS, however. There were a few people with decent armies, xETx possibly the largest. The war was quick, only a few weeks, and it is to be believed that LORDS won the war.
Rest of Friesland
There were a few other alliances in Friesland that sort of fell apart as time went on. People becoming inactive, or just not a lot of interest in the game anymore. LORDS took hold of most of Friesland over the next month or so. At this time, or shortly after I believe, LORDS and their sister Supreme merged, creating NOMADS.
Nomads
Nomads was born, we moved up in the alliance ranks on the server peaking at about sixth. LORDS, in the new alliance, fell apart shortly after the merge. The server became farmville, or taking over of smaller players. The PoD coalition was created, between many of the top 20 alliances, eliminating the potential for huge wars.
At this point, I left the server for a bit. So I am telling based on what I have gathered when I came back (will tell).
Time went on
Time went on...the server became quieter and quieter. PoD declared on a few top 10 alliances eliminating them quickly as we were able to group up on on them. The PoD, changed names to S131 coalition, in rumors that we were going to Server merge. No. That was MONTHS ago, and we still havn't merged. So, farmville continued, with the occasional spike in war, but then back to farmville.
Recent Month or so
In the recent month or so, things have gotten a little bit more, well, interesting. Nomads, Imperil, Wanted and a few other allainces left the 131 coalition. I believe there were some naughty words/acts by the hosts that probably spiked this, however, at least there is war.
The holding of Saxony
At this point in time during the server, Nomads was spread out, all over the server. Saxony was held only by a few players. The war really devastated Nomads. Whistle, our host, was taken out by four or five players in one night. Nomads was devastated. Most of our cites were taken, however we stayed together for the most part. Those who had food or armies left lended them to people who didn't.
I returned to the server, to find my main zero'd and other cities taken.
So I returned to the server. I found our red list fairly interesting, including the Dark crew, 88's and their followers. I found it very difficult to maintain an army during this time. I loved my Nomads dearly, however we hit a time where we were falling apart. A few of the members had already left and joined DarkAngl. A few of my good "friends" Carvin and SwellD left to join Darks and I went with them.
Last few weeks I spent on the server before I left
The DarkAngl alliance was farmville all over again. Go medal hunting, build up massive amounts of food... that was Darks. I missed Nomads a lot, however I was able to build an army, which was nice. It was extremely quiet in that alliance. A few pages of WR a day, mostly a few players were the only ones that attacked others. Reckless, a fine player, was in the WR a lot. usually with a substantial army. Hat tip to him for playing the game like it was meant to be played.
End
So I have left this server for good, tired of the weird diplomacy that has happened. I hope to continue evony at some point but am taking a break for a while.

OTHERS OF 131. Please tell your story, from your point of view, of your state... Of your experience of PoD, 131. I think it would be nice.
Sometimes its rather nice to see the story-lines of your server from other points of view.
