HI guys, thx riveit to start this thread , but i wanted to know not only the attack during sleeping time, but defence too, you forgot the most important

You forgot some fact too, i hope when you'll give us answers (kamis attacked 70 op and karavans attacked 20 since 2006) you won't forget to tell us that karavans had around 17 op and kami 5 since 2006.

For sure someone who has nothing wants to get something more than someone who has everything.

and about the sleep time : for europeans and americans you can chose 00:00-05:00 for your quizz.

most of europeans are gmt+1 ----> gmt+4

so all attack or defense at 23:00 gmt ---->04:00 am gmt are in our sleep time




let me know plz same times for americans cause i don't really know for americans


PS : can you add in your quizz defense period plz if you read correctly my first post, i told attack or defense

Their order is made to make the reader get certain conclusions. I am pretty sure Riv didn't mean to carefully place them as such, just it was the moment that made him place them.

If we want to argue endlessly "you! no, you!" we can, but it's meaningless and slightly kindergarteen-ish, at least for me.

I put the pre-May 2006 questions at the top, otherwise the order was random. As regards to the timing, I had no intention to argue about anything, simply present an accurate count. Thus, the next argument can be based on actual facts and numbers rather than vague and often false assertions. Your other questions are interesting, I may research those as well.

There are for example range of time when neutrals kept one or more OPs. How many neutral guilds active were in that range. They lost that (only one neutral OP remaining). How many neutral guilds remained active in 2 weeks after that, what about in a month?

Originally, Neutral guilds held 2 outposts. That number rose to 6 outposts and then dropped to the present 3 Neutral outposts (VVV, RRA, FB).

(Using a definition of Neutral as those guilds that wish to be described as Neutral.)

Yes indeed, the Karavan has had more outposts for more than a year. The high water mark of the KA was 17 outposts. It dropped a bit from that over time, dropping to 10 outposts last week. I thought those facts were well known and much discussed here on the forums. At present, Kamists and their combatant allies hold 14 outposts.

OK, Darmina. I guess knowing the actual timing of the last 17 months worth of attacks was too much for many people. I'll leave those questions (13-16) unanswered until I have your first phase+second phase question answered.

I do, however, feel that the following logic is valid. The attackers generally chose the first phase timing to maximize their chances of success in an attack. The defenders should not then be criticized for choosing the second phase to maximize their own chances of a successful defense.

Why should anyone be critisised for following mechanics?
allways choose best time for yourself imo.

thats the whole point of 2 rounds.

its also the point of the unbalance by the guards during attack round, as the attacker with have the time advantage, so defenders get guards.

then the same on defence phase.
