hehe hopefully Baldrick won't be in on the action next

No luck there I'm afraid. Here's something to consider...

If you start a thread concerning the "big" alliances, then get yourself into trouble (like what happened last week), maybe it's a good time to stop posting on that thread? Just a thought...

You must realise that posting something like that, true or not, was not the wisest move?

You seem to spend far too much time analyzing BSK instead of looking at your own alliance, which needs a lot of improvement.

EDIT: We just spied one of your members, 5 farmers and 1 vet bowman on the left and right flanks, 7 farmers, 3 vet bow and 1 swordsman in the centre. No tools! Charity begins at home!

We are not ogres you know. We are just people like you who play this game, it's just that we have had more success as an alliance. If you want to challenge us at some point in the future, feel free, we're waiting.

Fair enough though one thing I have gathered from playing this game is that people don't like to be proven wrong and they most certainly don't like it when it's pointed out to them. I try my best though to tell the truth I'am happy to leave it to my leaders to work on the development of members in the alliance as I still have much work to do myself. For instance the two food I keep aren't very well developed holding only 840 vets each, a number I'am trying to work my way towards 1.5k at each. Without bakery four , Three crop research Castle Garden and tower level 4 there's still plenty to do.

I couldn't disagree more about your comment about analyzing Bsk, it plays a huge role in the success of the alliance.

Cupish I agree with you it would be great if the big alliances were to clash, it would be fun, exciting and it would allow for server wide growth. However they have absolutely no incentive to do so. I mean what is in it for them? loss of military, loss of resources, loss of security, burning and undoubtedly huge ruby costs. Sure an alliance at rank 3 might go to rank 2 but at the top it really doesn't make a difference. No the only way for a shift is for the "smaller" alliances to attack. However everyone is too scared to pull up their socks and get the job done. Everyone is waiting for some miraculous event to turn the tables. I am from a tiny alliance of 6 players and we are holding our own all right despite a constant onslaught from our neighbours Honour and Glory and the Sly Foxes. Every time we get hit we try to hit back even though the retaliation might be hugely damaging. That is exactly what all the little alliances need to do. You pick one guy you hit them and you worry about what comes next later. There are easily enough other alliances that want to advance to give a hell of a fight, so why don't we? You heard baldrick,"If you want to challenge us at some point in the future, feel free, we're waiting."

well said I have come to agree with this now which is a good thing I pulled off getting demoted down to member now in my alliance after all of this

I don't know if this has already been suggested though I think GGE should bring this in for sure. I think they should add in being able to keep the tools of the attacker. Say I'am defending 100-0-0 the tools are used on the 100-0-0 flank only. Say I was to go on to win the battle I get to keep the attackers tools from the other two flanks accept the flags. I mean this seems highly logical as where would the tools go? I think this could also be a good way of stopping the big alliance constantly hitting other alliances in the top 30 as they would think about giving there rubies away to other players. Post your thoughts on the idea here. NOTE this is also in the suggestion Praise and Criticism section.

bad idea as that will result in transfer of ruby ( ruby tools) via fake attacks.

Isn't this whole thread about the big alliances not attacking each other and how they should be?

that and the how unfair it is that they constantly hit the other alliance on the top 30 for glory during the tournament.

Wait, are you claiming that it's unfair that strong alliances attack other fairly strong alliances in a war game, and during a tournament? Erm, how does that work out?

Yeah it halts the development of our alliance. The other day I was attacked by 1040 vets in desert where I have only just started by one of your wing alliances. It had me full on blazing and I have had to spend the last two days trying to put them out when I could be working towards getting my castle garden unlocked (I still haven't put them all out). In the end of the day the reward is only 20k ruby and 100k coin pretty much no use to a big alliance at all yet you go about ruining the game for other alliances!

how is getting that amount of rubies make no difference ? any amount makes a difference , now instead of donating the rubies players can use them on their castles and protection, blablabla !
i wish i could get that amount in the tournament , unfortunately we got stuck with the 5k rubies :c

But it's a war game!

You could easily say that any attack ruins things for others. Do you think we don't get burned sometimes? Do you never attack others? I mean really, complaining about being attacked in a war game is just ridiculous.

EDIT: None of the big alliances care about the rewards much as they are so small, what they do care about is their placement in the tournament. It's about Kudos, not rewards.
