Topic: [75393] Dire situation???

[-75393] Xephyr [None] :: July 17, 2012, 7:14 a.m.
I have been without an alliance for about a week now. I left my former alliance when it became clear to me that, despite several well meaning people, they were either unwilling, or incapable of assisting me with a dilemma which has resulted in my present condition. A Lv. 60 captured a premier outpost only 2 clicks away from my main castle and began leveling my castle and op's multiple times per day. I sought help from my alliance but any time troops were supporting my castle, inevitably they were lost. I couldn't put up tools enough times per day to keep troops safe, and ultimately, fellow alliance members were resentful of me for the "Lack of concern" I showed for their help. I really did everything I could, and knew exactly what to do, I just couldn't do enough, and they did a good job of making me feel like an asshole for it.
As I was dealing with the fact that my castle was burning and that I had to rebuild troops, my alliance engaged in a war with another major alliance, and I began to suffer more attacks on my burning castles. These scavenger attacks have come daily in addition to my wonderful neighbor, burning me down, daily. I left the alliance feeling as though I was unwelcome, unsupported, and a burden to those who would have helped me otherwise.
Now, a week later, I am logging on several times a day to continue repairing, taxing and recruiting, but, nothing has changed, except that I lost my first and best outpost yesterday, and that I am no longer sure if I should continue in Empire. Oh, and I messaged my neighbor, pleading with him to allow me to rebuild free from his attacks. He doesn't seem to be sympathetic to my cause. I feel as though my efforts to repair and recruit are worthless, considering each time I log on more defeats have transpired and I am worse off than before. I have loved playing this game for the last 6 months or so, and I aspired to one day be strong enough that I could help others rather than need the help.

Any suggestions? Or am I done?

wow, no offense to those who help but that alliance sounds like they don't care. i would love to help but i am not in your world. i best i can do tell you to go to the link in my signature and try and get help for your situation. there are alliances in international 1 that are part of it!

Try to get help from cyclone and the rest of OU. Or maybe steel would feel sympathetic enough to right what sounds like there multiple wrongdoings, u never know what might help. Just dont quit. If u love the game, fight back. Though, I have to admit it really does sound like there is barely any helpfull people in international one. Of course, I might be wrong...

Me? The OU? Both won't work . . .

what sever are you

[1637900] Cyclone14 (INT1) [INT1] :: Sept. 29, 2013, 3:16 a.m.
International 1, though the Officers United was in International 2, and I was the leader of the International 1 division of the OU. Then my alliance and I split from the OU, and from then on, I wasn't really up-to-date with all the goings on in the OU. Nor am I now.

If you can afford to do so go into protection whilst you rebuild

so who is xephyr on USA1? Is this also you? If it is, move your castle. If it's not, move your castle anyway and get away from the people who continue to hit you. Then get into an alliance as soon as possible. You are a target of everyone if you are not in an alliance.

Good job, Peanut. Sometimes, that is all you can do - look to make a better start somewhere else.

If you are in USA1 join Heavens Gate .. we can use someone like you... any alliance with no unity or support will falter.

If you are on international 1, you may contact me if you need anything. I just started my account there. If you are on usa 1, you may also mail me. I'm on both servers with the same name, so whichever one you are having problems on, feel free to contact me.
