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.
