Been back for a few weeks after being gone for over a year. Missed may events that looked good, came in too late for Halloween 2019.
The Guilds
All but one town was kicked from guilds that weren't me+alt(s) (5 worlds, 12 towns). - If not in a real guild (H:Relax) Alexis the Red & I form "Red Skies" (G,K). - If that's not enough, Aronov, Alexis & I play trio in "Aronov Iron Works" (M,R).
The Worlds
- Mount Killmore is my first town - Houndsmoor is my second and is my most advanced - Griefental is where I started twin cities with Alexis. - Not sure if Korch was 4th or 5th, originally played independently before the break - Rugnir (twin cities) was where Alexis and I belonged to the best guild (Quiet Storm).
On Rugnir I was most active: tracking obligatory contributions, town ages & GB levels, posting a newsletter every 2 weeks, then 3, then 4... I was giving it ALL my waking free time. And then one day, naturally, I just stopped.
There are separate Google Sheets I maintained per guild to keep track of players and remind me what I was doing - I need to find where I left them and bookmark them on my new computer so I can be more efficient than using this one page I have on a notepad.
So, for now I'm just doing the daily grind of collecting from GBs/24 hr buildings, trying not to get plundered of those or my 4-8 hr productions. Oh, and checking ALL friends' taverns 2+ times a day. That's fun and all, but the part that is killing me is Aiding ALL guild + friend + neighborhood towns. (90-210 mins every day, must fight falling asleep as, yes, it gets very monotonous click-click-clicking away.)
I'll eventually work my way back into posting trades more than once a week, and actually reading in-game email.
When I have my **** together I'll eventually look up some old guilds.
P.S.
Alexis was playing Alexis before the break but I was taking over when she played less.
P.P.S.
There is no Alexis, only Walker. I play Walker + Aronov & Alexis now.
