An unknown noob will arise one day and notice an artifact village a few squares away from his cluster in the boonies. Excited, said noob will send countless of his infantry troops from every village to their death in an attempt to gain the artifact. After a massive bloodshed, the noob will finally conquer the artifact.

A few hours later, a cry of ****strated anger can be heard throughout the s1 world as someone who had sent his hammer out for hours found his troops attacking an abandoned artifact village. After recovering from his fit of apoplexy, angry dude would run to leadership with cries of, “Omfg do something!!!”

Leadership will tell the noob to return the artifact.

Noob will get on forums and go emonerdrage, accusing leaders of favourtising big players.
Flaming occurs, dereps fly.

Finally, another noob will arise and join in the flaming thinking it’s the fastest way to be cool on the Travi-forums.

Forum veterans will not be impressed by this attempt at gaining Travian street cred and yell, “IGN or gtfo!”


After which some lone dissenter will yell, “Tits or gtfo!” in an attempt to be unique (I’m looking at you guys, Baron, El Che, itsme & elfuaso)

If original noob poster is female, this will be followed with enthusiastic cries of, “MOAR B00BZ!!!”, if male, there will be horrified cries of, “Hell no!!! If I want to see moobs, I can take of my shirt and look down.”


Somehow, someone will manage to link the current drama to palistus vs Luissss drama and more flaming ensues.

Aquias will eventually post in an attempt to be the sole voice of reason, only to discover forum goers prefer irrational, shrill drama *****s, and only tolerate him cuz he’s fun to sexually harass.

The report abuse button would once again be abused and the fury of the mods will descend upon the s1 forums.

Threads will be locked. Threads will be deleted. The forum is once again dead.

1. Teut heavy.

Most likely a few players who got to the top just because they are Teuts and can churn out cheap troops, not through any skill at all. And of course, this usually leads to...

2. Preferential treatment for a few big, offensive players.
Which means you have very few defense and a lot of unhappy smaller players. The few anvils they have will probably get few respect and are dying to jump ship. Usually, only the big, offensive players get any leadership position which means...

3. Clique-y leaders.
Who are probably out of touch with the dissatisfaction within their ranks and make mistakes such as asking for defense only for themselves. Rebellion otw. And of course the leaders thought they're doing great because they're...

4. Recruiting much too fast.
This is when all sorts of trash gets into the alliance. Farms, inactives, spies, etc. All you get is a bunch of accounts who do nothing but whine when they get attacked, waste precious defensive troops and add fuel to the flame when people get pissed. And obviously, there will be big players pissed over farms getting in.

And that's a shortcut to finding out if your alliance is about to collapse.

So remember when I got pissed over being told to get rally point lvl 15 in every village? I got told why.

So. In idx, the limit is 10 attacks/rally point lvl. So their strategy is to send 100+ waves from every village (using a script, of course) until the player gets 5K+ attacks. At that point, the rally point won't be able to load.

I hate this server.

That's a retarded and unethical strategy.

So...I got MM-ed this:



Translation:

Those with support villages should have rally point lvl 15...A MUST...this is useful for the faker machine that will be controlled by our friend.

Remember...support village rally point lvl 15..

The more support villages, the more fake attacks that can be used...a necessity..

Holy crap this is so fucking stupid I can't believe this alliance is on top with leaders like this. Oh and this leader multiaccounts and bots. He told me. Wasn't even ashamed of it.

1. Why do we need a high level rally for fakes??? We're not hitting anything and our enemies certainly won't be able to see that our one cat fake is capable of hitting the marketplace or the wheat fields!!

2. Fakes from support villages? Any idiot can tell those are fakes!!

3. You're really going to waste resources training cats and building up rallies in support villages? WTF.


Damn I need to destroy this server.

Here's some answers to weirder chiefing questions that I have a harder time finding answers to:

Will the chief still work without the residence/palace? I have 3 chiefs already but the palace got catted down.

Yes. And it can still chief. But of course, if that chief dies and you want it back, you have to rebuild. I just lost my 3rd chief in my hammer because I overestimated how much loyalty the village I was chiefing has and the chief from my hammer ended up chiefing the village. Yes, I have to rebuild the palace from level 0 to 20 to get it back.

Does this mean I can have unlimited 3 chief forces?

Yes. But it's kinda expensive resource wise. I suggest just building a palace lvl 15 (since it's cheaper than res lvl 20), train 2 chiefs, demolish the palace and repeat in tons of villages.

What happens when you chief your own village?

Say Village A founded village B. You want to free up expansion slots in Village A so you chief Village B using chiefs from Village C. What happens is:

- Building levels stay the same
- Your wall disappears
- Building queues end (yeah...I was kinda annoyed since I was 1 min away from getting a warehouse upgrade and just spent resources for a lvl 10 TH)

So...today, I was MM-ed this conversation:


For non-Indonesian speakers, this is the translation:



I hate how people brag about cheating here.

Sent a letter to the MH...doubt anything will happen.

Labels: cheaters, idx, noobs, rawrr

In the alliance skype room. More confessions of multi-accounting and botting. Everyone's proud of it too. And guess what? They're still sucking at Travian.

Just part of the obsession with social networking sites in Indonesia imo.

Ok, I know people are obsessed with social networking sites but in Indonesia, (actually, Singapore's like that too...in Asia i guess?) people are OBSESSED.

The alliance leader sent this final MM before dismantling the entire alliance...basically bawwwing about how it's useless having an alliance since people went ahead and grabbed artifacts for themselves XD.

Ok, I guess I'm sounding too negative so I should write down the pros of playing in a noob server...

1. No one ever attacks me at night.
2. I could chief someone over the phone. (yeah...I had a 5 sec lag and it still worked!)
3. I could play mostly solo.

Oh what the fuck. It's frustrating but I wanna destroy as many people as possible because this server has come to embody everything I absolutely loathe about Indonesia.
