We are once again in that uptick of participation. Our peak alliance participation was week 8, where we grew from ~25% to over 50% participation. We are currently over a third participation. The alliance has many new members that look to be joining in on the fun.

Our biggest event this week was Warzone Duel. We had low participation numbers and that also reflected across other alliances server-wide. The tough part is… Warzone Duel falls on a Saturday at 6 AM PST/ 9 AM EST.

With that said, our biggest hitters showed up. The strategy, as passed down from server leadership, was to port into the mud en masse and surround the guns. This strategy did not work. We have 3 level 27 bases. The way the game is designed, a single level 30 whale can run through our entire alliance and suffer maybe 100 troop losses, while we take 400,000 losses collectively. This is precisely what happened.

For the approximately 20 players who were led to slaughter, they were wiped in within 5 seconds. The entire fighting strength was gone without making a dent. This was the worst plan of plans.

We have Warzone next week and we will be working to deploy hit squads tactically. This plan will be carried out in conjunction with WRZS and USV. I will email you all in a separate email on this plan.

Tactical

We are in “base upgrade” mode (again) for the next 2-4 weeks. We need level 27 bases quickly. We will be participating in Warzone Duel again this Saturday. The resource spend to maintain server political position is devastating and will set back growth of those particpants. However, if we suffer losses and we do not participate, the top 3 alliances have expressed their desire to “not protect the alliances not in the top 5 spots”. That includes us.

Versus

Our opponent was server 1799, FckN Oath(MfkR). We won every day against them. They were severely outnumbered in member strength and overall power.

Buster Day

Veggie brokered a truce. But, it lasted 2 minutes into Buster Day. We wiped what was not shielded. It took one hit and chaos ensued. It does not matter who or how started it. What matters is that brokering truces is moot across servers. For our own server VS opponents, we will do our best to monitor and broker peace 24/7 (which is always the case).

Summary

We are increasing in alliance activity. Our goal is to approach 50% and see that participation on November 17th election. I will release the re-election schedule this week. We were unnecessarily set back in resources on Warzone with no benefit due to poor strategy. Our Peak Alliance strength has surged 22%! We are growing rapidly and will continue to push people to upgrade those bases.
