EAM

EAM: Try http://travian.ws/analyser.pl?s=com6&uid=3172

I use it to find inactives / farms

ive used that before but i perfer the one the killjill just gave me it is more accurate, the one you use is behind to far his it a lil more up to date...

I believe that it would have been more constructive for you to have taken this up with leadership from any wing prior to posting this in the forum as it was something that could have been easily dealt with and explained without causing issues.

i have discussed this many times on skype with leaders of both FLANK and LITE. I made this post as a result of so many complaints about the slow growth of members and some people wanting to see the numbers. So yes i had talked about it with some leaders, just not any FUN Leaders. And this post is in regards to the whole wing, its just FLANK doesnt have any slackers, so only LITE and FUN members got on the list. I dont think any issues came out of this other then people becoming aware of how bad it is and having it addressed and dealt with.

If an issue came out of this its that there seems to be a lack of goal setting and vigilance over growth of players which surprised alot of us as to how bad it had become with some members. There is only so much a leader can do and only so much time a leader can devote to such things and so i believe what strengthens a alliance is having vigilant and aware members of those who they play with. Calling people out for there actions as you have just done is important too as people must justify there actions, the same as people with slow growth must justify why, and if they cant then goodbye.

I think though perhaps it would be unfair for a lot of liters to be kicked who only have 1 village because they have slow growth and are soon approaching the settling period. We all know how slow the game can be if you've only got 1 hour a day to play travian and you have a lvl 7 residence and trying to get it to lvl 10 plus settlers even with tons of rez. Ofc their sitters should then be able to build at least 1 level on the residence while the player is away but still two lvls a day is almost nothing. I think that provided they haven't been growing like slugs their entire time playing, we should keep them for a little while and try to help them grow faster.

Hilikus is just starting to build settlers. He was cata'd by an ass in MNU early on and had to restart. Will settle near my villages.

i stated that earlier, if a player is seen to be growing slowly and when asks states they are building settler, then that is an acceptable reason.

Yes, though if they are only on once per day, that might not be enough if that is all they can ever do.

AbnerV sasys he has been under attack by MNU. I wish people would ask for help!

Abner finally got forum access yesterday (3-16-09). Total tally from yesterday was 7 FUN main locations were hit, all non-SH. In addition 3 were kicked and 2 left. Morale is definitely an issue as main gets hit and is "standing down".

I understand. It must be frustrating. But hopefully we are making good decisions for the long term health of the whole alliance. Perhaps we need some well-organised defence to boost morale?

If you feel this is not the right place for me I understand, do as you wish. However, I'm always up for improvement and read the forum daily looking for ways to improve. I am a newb but hell everyone starts somewhere, right?

Again, I understand the situation and am comfortable with whatever decision you come to.

ok, just did a little simple reading and I now know part of my problem, I'm bad at math so I may fail consistanly but i just bought a bunch of gold so hopefully this will make up for some of my problem.

Well Meatballs no offense to you..firstly you are on opposite region from where we are located, Dont know why or how you even got into FUN So even once you have grown and your village expands, it still wont be worth too much because your going to have to completely relocate! If someone responds with he is a personal real life friend of someone thats in the alliance, I will scream because if you people are having friends join, atleast have them start in the right location. Having players from different region especially players with 100 and 200 pop in our alliance looks really sloppy on our part.

So now not only are you far behind from the rest of the members but your double behind because your starting village is worth nothing because you will have to resettle. Now once your resettled your pop will really be the population of your village located in the SH. Complete waste of time and resources for you!

I agree with V-la. It seems FUN main has forgotten that we have a recruitment wing and that that wing has pop requirements, namely population of 300. another 150ish pop player was invited to FUN either today or yesterday. Id kinda like to know why FUN's standards are below that of LITE which is supposed to be the recruitment wing.

No surprise MNU wants to cancel NAPS

I have written to FUN leadership. Would others with concerns please do likewise? This is a worrying trend. Perhaps there is someone in FUN offering invites without authorisation.

No offence meatballs, but you are useless to us and we are useless to you.

This situation has been discussed and resolved, so I am locking this topic as it does not serve a further purpose. Please direct any questions involving new Main members to me through a PM or IGM and I will respond with an explanation.
