I've decided to start an experiment on how to best turn your account into a pro account with the least amount of gems involved. In order to keep track of everything I'll be regularly posting videos explaining what I'm doing and how things are turning out. Today was time for the first video - the creation and basic set-up - so here it is, for anyone who's interested, please enjoy! (I know that once I activate the music my voice is a bit too soft, bear with me as I fix this for the next video.)

Well you already screwed up by building dwellings past the forced tutorial etc. and not abusing the fast travel time to robber barons while being in tutorial. Also there is the raw 200% in the beginning however it is better to level around level 14 and then you will get a 200% again with normal offers [might already be level 13 or 15] and then buy 200% rubies and time skips. There are a lot of macro decisions at the beginning that do not have a big impact (except for the ruby purchase) but they add up. I have played to level 70 at least 15 times and still improve every time, as there is a lot of macro involved.

Hey, thank you for the tips! I'll be sure to remember these things for the future and implement them in future videos. If you have any other helpful advise for me feel free to PM me, I'm in no way a pro (thus the From Newb To Pro title) so I appreciate every input :)

@AJBlack (GB1)
I recall from the thread where you are promoting your alliance that you promoted "demonqueen" from member to recruiter and yet your playing on demonqueen. Your current forum account is AJBlack so it is quite obvious you are breaching ToS rules by sharing pw with demonqueen or multi-accing. 
I will let @BM_Friedrich decide about this.

Demonqueen on GB1 is my boyfriend, who doesn't even actively play the account. As far as I know there's no rule that forbids using a name someone else uses on a different server. I have enough on my hands with two accounts, one on each server, so no thank you to having multiples on the same one. Feel free to report if you find it necessary, I assure you that nothing will come of it because it is indeed a different player. If, against all expectations, a rule was breached, I will follow instructions from support on what to do to solve them, as they were committed unintentionally. :) 

Great job taking someone's project and turning it against them though! Kudos!

If you are using their account, it breaches terms. If you're somehow using their name on another server, on your account, I see no breach.

If you're using another account altogether on a server you already play on, that breaches terms.

I don't have time to explain every possible combination.

It appears I'm in the clear then. In any case, I have contacted support with my exact situation to figure out if any rules are being breached in this situation. If there are, I'm sure they will help me resolve them. Thank you for the assistance!

@HawkEye. (US1) Not everyone purposefully breaches rules, so perhaps in the future before making a public drama out of it if you notice something like this with someone, send them a message first and see if it can't be resolved some other way. Thank you for pointing out that there may be an issue however, I'm sure support will help me fix anything that might pop up. :)

Friedrich demands to be referred to in the third person. Friedrich identifies as three people.

500 food is not gonna help much the player when he is in the red by thousands like this:

But still a kind action.

You should drop your op's and get better ones

Talk a bit louder, will ya?

You can always switch to bigger alliance who will allow some form of pvp. Its not worth staying in a place that slows down your progress.

AjBlack, surrender those 6 food ops and develop 8 food ops and relocate ur castle near 3 8 food ops or capture a developed op with graneries from someone.
