ing his tale for all to cherish.

A Cautionary Tale

Twas the first day of Lapithos, a world so

new that attracted the attention of more

than just a few.

Some came from Ialysos with pride in their

vain, After an evil EN destroyed their be-

loved game.

Cities were founded and banners were

raised, and all throughout Lapithos warriors

prepared with haste.

As the populous grew and players did too,

Noobs ran anew, religious through and

through.

One noob rose to power, and in his bell

tower, he had a desire, he sought to em-

power, DE Victory was his desire.

As the legend unfolds, the noob, uncon-

trolled, Saw competition is his ocean, and

began to lose focus.

Diplomacy was not his forte, so as a last

resort, he felt compelled to extort.

Unaware of his demise, the noob began to

realize, as his numbers had dwindled, he

started to shrivel.

He had been bested with ease, and when

feeling displeased, He pleaded 'No,

Please!'.

jdc400 was his name, he felt real shame,

and till this day the externals have yet to

see his face. ~ dfd

Or so claims daveinator007,

he insists Lapithos has

reached it’s expiration date 2

days into the world. - For

more insight see externals,

‘This world is full of noobs’.

Lapithos is born, the date is,

February 17th 2014, and as

it’s tale begins to unravel we

have increased evidence that

unfortunately favours Dave’s

Thesis. The most persuading

evidence not only proves the

existence of noobs but rather

empowers their already di-

minished status. jdc400 is

the prime culprit here. Ven-

turing from another world, a

recently opened world, he

came with promises of victory

and crowns that led him to

form Dark Enigma. With a

grandiose ego and a hit of

stupidity he managed to

crash N’ burn shortly after the

world opened. His demise

came at the hand of Check

Mate’s very own Leader.

Mate. schooled, outclassed

and completely obliterated

jdc400 (with ease) at his

own game which he apparent-

ly doesn’t know how to play. A

combination of squabbles,

accusations and slander

alongside a very stupid deci-

sion to merge 24hrs into the

world led to the downfall of

this most gracious noob. I

took the liberty of immortaliz-

Unlike the buffoon good willed

and extremely remorseful Hero

from where his name derives

from, HERCULES511 is noth-

ing alike.

If there ever was a number

one noob, our good old friend

jdc400 would surely hold the

title, and if there ever were a

list HERCULES511 would

follow right behind him.

This mouthy youngling is a

top notch timewaster and as

to not let him waste anymore

of my time I will end this right

here.

Map of Lapithos

Check Mate Ranked #1

83 Members

202,528 points

These guys have everything

going for them , they top ABP,

DBP, Fighters and points. Half

of them are pre-made the other

half Lapithos-made. The main

contenders for O55, the disput-

ed ocean by all the top 12. If

you look at the map they all

have a piece of it. They need

some watching out for. Denied

fair play by EN in Ialysos they

are hungry and their hunger is

hard to quench.

The New Corps I & II Ranked #2 & #3

198 Members

340,499 points

Combined these guys can deal

and take heavy damage. 200

members is a feat to manage

and organize. Leadership will

play a challenging role. Com-

bined they come on top as #1.

Our interviews revealed they

may have pacts which can allow

them to hold the upper hand in

55. They are predominantly

situated in the center-towards-

south of Ocean 55. Before any

encounter with CM they will

surely clash with the various

other alliances in the region.

SPARTANS Ranked #4

96 Members

151,117 points

What would grepo be without

it’s benchmark Spartans. This

common name short of exceeds

standard. Their ABP and DBP is

not as impressive as you’d

imagine. They refused to an-

swer questions for the inter-

view. They are mainly in 45

bordering the east towards 55.

With one isolated member at

the heart of 55. White Pit is

somewhat a good player, plays

ages that appear to be out

of context.

Guardians of Hades Ranked #6

89 Members

142,031 points

These guys form a tight cluster

bordering the south of 44 and

the north of 45 hinting towards

the east. If they play their cards

right they can paint a big target

on their backs and 4 different

alliances can have a piece. They

need to establish a core and

make some friends.

The Ottomans Ranked #7

90 Members

141,690 points

Again, another name that comes

up more often than if you play

AoE. They are scattered through-

out 55 and in-between some

alliances. I suspect they might

have a pact. Or various pacts.

Lots of in-and-outs in the alli-

ance (grepostats). I can’t say

leadership is below average but

recruitment is.

solo, splurges gold, takes mile-

stones and then leaves the

game. He is also famous for his

various alliance changes.

Grim Sleepers (so punny)

Ranked #5

94 Members

145,195 points

Play on words there, but these

guys are as docile as their name

suggests. Topping at 9th for

attackers. Ocean 65 is their

domain and they are going to be

asleep until some real competi-

tion shows up.

S.P.Q.R Empire Ranked 8th

79 Members

115,676 points

Populating O56 they are current-

ly uncontended. Fragmented

members from other alliances

that spill over into 56 will be-

come their fodder. Unless they

move north into 55 or another

contender rises up things over

there will be pretty stale. Like

old, dry crackers.

Never Walk Alone Ranked #9

71 Members

111,102

A reasonably young alliance that

is still premature. They have a

lot of growing to do but being in

the thick of O55 they must learn

to run before they can walk in

order to survive out here. De-

spite their dwarf size when com-

pared to CM their attack and

defense rank shows that they

can compete.

Tell us about Your Self and How

'The New Corps' came to be. We

came to be off hermonnassa after

finishing 7th place in the world and

3rd in the ocean!

Where do you see 'The New Corps'

heading when BP ends. We see our

self's heading with success after we

take on pacts after BP.

Who at present poses the highest

threat to 'The New Corps'. Our high-

est threat is Never Walk Alone.

Does 'The New Corps' acknowledge

any worthy foes. We Have not got any

foes at the moment, as we are en-

couraged to take on pacts soon! :)

richard keeley answered the follow-

ing for us, great lad.

Tell us about Your Self and How

'Guardians of Hades'

Came to be. I've been

playing for about 2

1/2 to 3 years, GOH

was from Lamia and

later merged with

Black Stance. We

came here as Lamia

closes in 16 days and

wanted a crack at

winning a world. The

Lamia players are

solid, and we have

also got some good players from

other worlds, we are happy with the

team.

W h e r e d o y o u s e e

'Guardians of Hades' heading when

BP ends. We will consolidate our

position here, some of our players

have been threatened by certain

members, we hate bullies and we

don't forget, let the games begin!

Who at present poses the highest

threat to 'Guardians of Hades'. Any

alliance in the top 10.

Does 'Guardians of Hades '

Acknowledge any worthy foes. Early

days, we have some good players

who have been together for more

than 2 years, we been around the

block, ask me the question in 2

months time LOL!

Move. Gave the following answers.

Tell us about Your Self and How

'Check Mate' came to be. Well, I

learnt the game mechanics in Rho,

where I was a member of Virus then

led by Lady Acacia, who also men-

t o r e d m e t o g e t h e r

with lancaster62 and now we're run-

n ing Check Mate together .

My experience with leadership mostly

comes from Idalium with NightFall

and Gonnos with Shadow Knights.

I founded Check Mate straight after

world release, most of the alliance

was formed before it opened though,

most of those who were in before the

world itself came out are players

brought over from other worlds.

Where do you see 'Check Mate'

heading when BP ends. I see us posi-

tioning ourselves somewhere in the

core, more exact location will proba-

bly be revealed in the nearest future.

Who at present poses the highest

threat to 'Check Mate'. Tbh I can't

really see any at the moment, I reck-

on it's because I don't know most of

the other alliances, they'll probably

come forward when the game actual-

ly begins.

erayeray61. left some stuff unan-

swered but it’s here anyway.

Tell us about Your Self and How

'The Ottomans' came to be. I am

Eray and I am playing long, long time

grepolis, I like the game, I like to

make alliances.

Where do you see 'The Ottomans'

heading when BP ends. The otto-

mans are an legion From Turkey,

they are very strong, I think we can

stay at the 3d place.

The Spartans were meant to go here.

And the following rebuttal between

my reporter and a wise *chuckle*

gary955i ensued.

“Are you the founder? me and some

mates are doing a paper and want to

ask founder some questions

regards, Sour “ - asked Pickled Sol-

dier (PS).

“lol,,,oh yes,,,Check Mate are doing a

paper,,,excuse if i seem a bit sur-

prised but what paper would that

be,,,and what roll do you play in C/M”

- replied a flamboyant gary955i

“haha, its in no way related to the

alliance we (me and a friend) are

interviewing a collection of people. I

play the same role everyone does in

my alliance. “ - said PS

To which gary955i said - “ummm

this is a new one,,,,what do you need

to know,,,and whats the paper for,,, “

“Are you the founder? For externals,

quite common on all worlds” - Ex-

plained a baffled PS

To which gary955i uttered the fol-

lowing - “not in the worlds iv been in

matey, iv been in grip for around 3yrs

and tribal wars before that for

around 4/5 yrs,,,,long, long time

ago,,,but never had a paper,,,,, “

Ah well, those are word per word. You

get the jist of it. An Incompetent and

oblivious leader that has never seen

the face the externals. The fool utters

so much nonsense. So I will person-

ally link the paper. Heck, I’ll hire his

very own paperboy.
