Someone invite me? Same name in-game as here.

I am hero!

[Glowcat]

Sent an invite to Zangi, with that my coalition is filled. Also, tried to invite Troubador but it just said 'Unknown Player'

That's because it's spelled: Troubadour with another 'u'. I think it's British.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yes, that was a joke

[Kitsunin]

If I don't get an invite in like 30 minutes I don't think I'll be able to make it in, I have to sleep and I don't get up until like 5:00 server time.

EDIT: Bah too late, I dunno how fast 100 SP towns fill but oh well...

[forsaken1111]

So... guess I'm not in?

Huzzah!

Thanks.

[Datgum]

I added Troubadour. One spot left with Aogo's invite pending.

[stoney834]

In it to win it.


We're starting after the attack today?

Trying to find you somebody. I may temporarily drop Doohl if he doesn't switch his status to Available at attack since he won't be able to join like that anyway.

[TWeaK]

If you're a hero and you haven't got an invite, just form your own coalition and join us on the IRC (see first post) tonight after the attack

[GlyphGryph]

Game will be joined in 1 hour.

This game seems kind of dumb. 

You can't seem to do much of anything without paying the MASSIVE monthly fee -- 12eu/16usd a month for a browser game?! -- and my first two days of play have been full of receiving 3 anonymous complaints, 2 for 'selfish play' and 1 for 'stealing multiple objects'.. all I've done so far is upgrade my house twice (with materials /I/ scavenged), put some wrought iron in the village bank, and then put all the rest of my AP into the community building projects. What part of that is 'selfish play'? Yet apparently I get screwed if I get 8 anonymous complaints that apparently can be done by anyone for no particular reason.

Seriously? Most of the game is available without the fee. In fact you don't need to be a hero at all, it just gives you small bonuses.

You got selfish play for building a hovel because you used a plank to build it which could have gone to better use building something for the town. The 1 defense gained from building the hovel is a terrible deal as that plank could have gone towards building a defensive town item with a better resource/defense ratio. Keep in mind that they don't know you helped out with the community building, they just see you building a hovel and donating a piece of iron. Overall that is no net gain, and indicates a new player or a selfish player.

Ideally they would have contacted you on the forum, which is what I usually do, but each town is different.

I have yet to pay for a single hero day (though I have spent a decent amount of a time as a hero thanks to the many other ways to get it), but although towns definitely benefit from heroes, they are by no means needed. And it is stupid expensive, which is why I'll never buy it.

And if what you're doing is wasting valuable materials building your own little hovel, thats your selfish play right there. That stuff you found in the waste? That's gone now. It's not out there anymore. Someone, probably, would have found it and brought it back to town to build something important. Instead, you got to it first and spent it on something that doesn't help the town at all.

Especially if your town doesn't have a workshop, that's pretty damn selfish, especially since you did it twice and a lot of towns struggle to find enough basic resources to build that building. That sort of stuff is a lot more tolerated later on (you'll get complaints, but probably not after its been built, but early on that kind of selfish play can kill a town.

Have you read the forums or tried to communicate with the other players?
