OK, since so much trash talk is being put up on the broadcasts, I decided to just put all the cards on the table here. First off, GHA/ZA has gone through many members. The only reason we booted members is due to constant inactivity, with ONE exception. My rule is do not go 24 ticks inactive WITHOUT NOTICE, or you will be booted. Below is a list of all members that we booted and why:
1. KaPiTaNTuTaNx - 24 ticks inactive and wouldn't relocate to main alliance. Was taken out by Prince Kael due to his inactivity. We kept him for about 48 more ticks, in which he was constantly out for 8-12 ticks at a time.
2. ORR - This was the only exception. Alfred the Great sent him the invite and brought ORR in right after ORR had betrayed Kyzer of AAO. The members of GHA requested that Alfred boot ORR in fear that he would also betray us later. ORR was booted soon after.
3. Sarria - Sarria was booted for being 24 ticks inactive during our war with worm around tick 300. I personally sent him a message telling him to message me when he came back. That message has still not been read.
4. Van Helsing - Van Helsing was 32 ticks inactive when we booted him. I actually have a screen shot of that one because I assumed G would broadcast some trash talk. Van Helsing was the only one they did not give us crap about for abandoning

5. xJosh - He was never very active. He came on once every 12-18 ticks and built up units then left. During our war with worm, he did help us out greatly, which in turn, we decided not to kick him for inactivity. He relocated to a spot that we did not designate and was conquered. When he became conquered, he also became inactive. We booted him when it reach 38 ticks inactive.
6. Nanasine - Nanasine was also an inactive member that would vary between 12-18 ticks absence. I personally gave Nanasine 3 chances to become more active. Nanasine went past 24 ticks inactivity on 3 occasions and I informed him that we would be booting him. He left us on good terms.
7. Robert E Lee - He joined us and we assumed he would be a great help and our savior. Instead he told us that he would coordinate with us and at the last minute, would not send his units. This lead to one of our members sacrificing his army in an attempt to save his units. He still never came back on and was 36 ticks inactive when we booted him.
8. Hellraiser - He was not booted. He left of his own accord to join our enemy, G. He left almost immediately after ZA has lost a lot of units against GG.

For anyone falsely informed, here is the background story behind G and GHA/ZA.

At the beginning of the era, Alfred the Great (Leader of GHA, now known as ZA) and Titsy (leader of G), clashed heads with one another. I was not even entered into Fantasy 1 when this occurred. I do not know all of the details per say, but essentially Alfred said some things and Titsy wasn't willing to forgive what was said. Once again, no clue what those things were. Probably insulting some family honor blah blah blah.

Continuing, GHA and G have been at war since. GHA and NESS were allied and essentially brother alliances. NESS entered the fray and begun to fought G early on. GHA was not established yet at this point in the game and had minimal armies, members spread across the map and was slightly disorganized. GHA took on G's sub alliances in the southern continents and NESS (being much stronger than GHA at this point in the game) took on G. We all know how that battle went. After NESS lost the first major battle of the round, worm came out and declared war on GHA 200 ticks before our NAP was due to end. They gave GHA 6 ticks to prepare before they started attacking.

The battle against worm was tough and it cost GHA a good deal of it's army. GHA relocated to it's back up hive, killing an estimated 1200 of worms units. GHA did end up losing an estimated 1600 units against worm. At this point in time, G, GG, GGG, and GGGG had attempted to follow us to our new location. GGGG had gotten the closest to us during our initial relocation, but was repelled with the help of our ally MAD. At this point and time, GHA renamed to ZA and I became the leader of the new alliance and Alfred the Great stepped down due to real life commitments. With the new name and leadership, I began to try to re-establish and confirm all allied NAPs. Along with it, was a request to titsy for a ceasefire. titsy did not wish to comply due to the issues held with Alfred the Great before my leadership. I offered titsy a peace offering using myself as the gift; my crystals and conquering me with no struggle; for a ceasefire until worm or ZA were defeated.

Titsy refused this offer and soon after came into our territory. Things were looking grim until Hellraiser sent his entire army into their territory and G followed him. This left the rest of us to deal with GG and GGG. We are still warring with GG and GGG at this moment. GG sacrificed a large chunk of their military to take out a good portion of our army. ZA has taken out the armies of tobyy, Avenger, Demort, Motnahp, iB, and KJ. The only members left in our territory are Katana and RichM, both with about 200 infantry.

Almost immediately after, GGG started to launch large assaults with nearly 1000 units sitting on the edge of our territory in a standoff against the remnants of our army.

Along with this, worm and WARM also started moving into our territory at recently. This could be the end of ZA, but we took on the top dogs and we aren't going down without a bang!

wooow, how can you write all this ... damn hell !
Excellent story btw clap clap clap

aha, yea, if you look back at my past posts, this is a habit of mine

I'm very detailed....

Sounds tough. All the best.

we're dead

Now I can sleep for a bit <3

Gotta hate when things turn inactive :/

nah, we were all active. We just couldn't deal with fighting 5 other active alliances at the same time. Took too many loses. No army left to fight the other 3 alliances when they come in full power.

These are the only battles i took part in, and i dont have the pictures of my alliances mates battles. We took alot of hits and just didnt have the activity or resources to fight G properly. Still we did our best and i am proud to say i managed to get some of my members out alive.

We made a nap with GHA to avoid early wars, as we were direct neighbours, but under Alfreds command, it was constantly broken even before it real began. Also he was talking real big behind his reds and making threaths about NESS.

We gave another shot of peace attempt after some exchange of fireing, since we had so many players unavailable at the time, but the result was similar to the first attempt.

After that any deals didnt come to a question really.

Obviously the players were fail to begin with, since they kept dieing, but it looked to an outsider, that u replaced a player as soon as they took a beating and quite a few did. Also its all propaganda in the end

We made a lot of crashing during the round, but the multiple operating tags allowed it, since we never were paralised due to it. The exact reason for our no sub policy. The competing/fighting tags were instead forced to lay low or back down a bit. GGGG crashed once or twice atleast for a common good, G did on NESS and GG did on you. It was pointless who won the battle, when it was gona give so huge losses to you anyhow and you were way too active to catch u pants down really.

Anyway, nice play and post from u!

Yea, I will admit, Alfred has a mouth and did talk big. Caused me a lot of issues when I took over. Also why I re-established and connected with every ally we had. And the only reason GG caught us was due to worm knocking our socks off before we moved down south. We were all running around trying to scrap up every last unit we could muster. If you saw the battle report, we were VERY mixed with inf and heavy units since a few people survived with their armies and others didn't. I got lucky that I got 48000 gold from the battle with worm due to both battles taking place on my OP, so I recovered quickly. Was a pleasure facing you, wish it wasn't 20 others as well, but oh well, past is past. I never stopped fighting, and got 14k kills by the end; so I'm happy with that.

And as for the members part; I did speak with Alfred about it, apparently before I joined, he did go through quite a lot of members. He admitted to that. From the point I joined though, that was not the case anymore. We were weeding out members because we did not come with a team set up. We built everything from scratch. The only people who knew each other were Alfred and Roland. Then Roland found me on F1 and asked me to join. Everyone else was random. Some good, some not. There were no prior bonds to build upon other than us. And we did not have the luxury to teach noobies how to play while trying to fight you and worm. So switches were made if people couldn't make the cut.

As I said, once I joined, our cut off was 24 ticks inactive and you're out. Even if you had a large army. and we even made some exceptions to that rule.
