|| AR Charts were cleared. Reset will happen when locs are avaiable :)
|| The Ghetto (19:12) reinstated by OMAC! ||
In approximately two weeks, after the Utopian world has settled and the shock from the pain and excitement of this age's start has simmered down, alliancerankings.com will be conducting an Interview with two representatives from OMAC.
As it is our nature with these interviews, we extend our hand to the Utopian public, so that your questions may be presented.
If you have a question you'd like to ask OMAC, please submit it.
NOTE: Due to time constraints, there is a chance that all questions may not be used during the interviews.

Alas, Utopia's Age of Awakening has drawn to an end. Many battles were seen this age on more war fronts than almost any age in the past. Within this amazing world, we've watched some trifling actions, interesting hostiles and even some great wars. Outside this world, however, we witnessed strange actions and a harsh winter.
At the beginning of the age, we headed into unfamiliar territory. Many utopians found themselves or their kingdom mates receiving deletions for a variety of regulations that were not upheld by Utopia's previous ownership. Attitudes were punished by the Utopian Lords, provinces constantly deleted and reset, removed and reinstated. The largest display of controversy in these odd form of deletion came with the multiple deletions of YOURUINEDIT (6:37), whom was deleted and reinstated three times and The kingdom of W a r C r y (12:34), which received a mass of deletions. Much to our surprise, OMAC recreated and reset the provinces within the kingdom, giving this kingdom a fresh start with legitimate provinces, from the ill-traded ones they previously held. Trading was declared an acceptable form of play, and deletions for trading discontinued. Deletion for attitudes and name calling slowed as the age progressed and OMAC began forming new rules for the players to abide.
Meanwhile, the field showed an interesting change of power as Equilibrium Absalom (13:26) and Rage of Absalom (20:12) had solidified the top ranks. Equilibrium, #2 for net worth waved Playboys AR (6:7) whom was #1 for net worth at the time. After some negotiations and a Ceasefire, Playboys was later waved by Rage, closing the gap for top ranks and putting the race for the number one spot between Rage and EQ.
Outside the utopian world, a new battle front raged even stronger than most ages past. Crazed utopians scrutinized OMAC's every action, relentlessly battling nearly every step taken by OMAC. Some battles offered great promise to the utopian world, while more left the world in the dark. Reaching a universal summit, fellow utopians and OMAC are finally beginning to see eye to eye. New light shed every day surely makes for an interesting future.
With the opening options for the new age, some interesting tweaks, and the legalization of trading, we end this age with reflection of our past, and perhaps the most unforeseen course taken for the future of our beloved game. I should also note, as this is an odd occurrence, that this is the third time that Equilibrium of Absalom and Rage of Absalom have shared the #1 and #2 spot for land and Networth, where neither kingdom is #1 at both. This happened in age 33 as well as age 35.
I'd like to also give honorable mention to Lothlorien (3:24), whom fought some incredible wars through the age, landing them the war win crown with a record of 10 wars and 9 wins, and the war win crown.

RedLenin, Leader of Screwups Covenant comments:
This age was supposed to be a rebuild age where we just had fun, we had 8-10 new players and had 0 goals. We took 1st honor early-age by surprise and decided to hunt that goal cause it was fun. I still find it hard to believe we won the chart despite our 9 deletions. The combined chart was just a bonus we decided to take last 10 days of the age and wasn’t a goal till then. I can only say that I never was more proud to lead this kd then this age, amazing job from all my screwies and I can only be grateful for all the dedication u guys put into this game. Also thank you Covenant for supporting us in every way possible, without the alliance we never would have succeeded.

Sharu, Monarch of Xiphos TF, comments:
Many thanks and congratulations to all the players of Xiphos for their continued activity and performance throughout the age. Regretfully even with 7 victories out of 8 wars (EI refused to withdraw but lost anyway) we still haven't been able to find Cinderella's missing slipper! Congrats to the late Ninjas. Special congratulations to Shannon and Shank on becoming Xiphos' first province to reach Princess, especially worthy during an age where our theme were Princesses.

Old MacDonald had a farm...EI...EI...Oh....

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a retired monarch had the chance to fight with an emo? Well, wonder no further, this is the article for you! The conflict began on April 10th, YR10 when the Valley of Ex-Monarchs (4:4) received a wave from the big, the bad, the emo-est kingdom on the server, W W W w w w Whispers OF COVENANT (5:34) ! After a few days of retals and warm-ups, both kingdoms entered the ring. The fight commenced on January 1st, YR11. DING DING DING!!
January 1st, YR11 We have declared WAR on Whispers HOSTILE (5:34)!
VoExM, weighing in at 9.6mil, immediately turned up the heat by semi-chaining and nightstriking the large provinces in Whispers. Whispers, weighing approximately 12.5 mil, was surprised by the declaration coming from the Welterweight sized VoExM. They took a few punches, but quickly reestablished their emo fighting stance and retaliated with semi-chains of their own. Unfortunately, it was not enough to stop the royally-trained VoExM, as they were able to take full advantages of their higher GS and top feeding capabilities. Quickly, the Whisper emos found themselves cornered, struggling to defend against Voexm’s furious chain-punches while the networth and acre gaps slowly closed in.
Despite the initial losses, the emos were far from out. They quickly flipped through pages of their Book of Hate and summoned a deadly drake from the depths of hell and directed it at VoExM as soon as the two kingdoms were within dragon range. VoExM pulled out their swords and stabbed the beast in the balls, sending it back to hell within 3 hours of its arrival. This clever ploy was all a part of Whisper's plan. The cunning emo's took the opportunity presented before them and struck back at VoExM with a flurry of karate chops while simultaneously chanting words that only an emo could understand. This ungodly chanting summoned another drake approximately a day after the previous one took flight. The fight is back on and more intense than ever!
The wise council of VoExM quickly realized that the Book of Hate lies hidden among the high income of Whisper’s unbreakable provinces. VoExM determined that their only chance of winning was to take down Whisper's unbreakables and destroy their dreaded book. Wasting no time, they tornadoed the unbreakables buildings while simultaneously nightstriking an unbreakable orc into range.
This is when everything changed in favor of VoExM. Upon receiving massive tornadoes and nightstrikes and broken twice, the player of Loadofmeat decided to (without consent of Whispers leaderships) attempt the emo-est strategy of all – slitting his own wrist (In this case, releasing his entire defense)! This strategy failed miserably, as VoExM multi-tapped that province down from 7000 acres to 1000 acres with the speed of lightning (including multi-taps from t/m). Demoralized and plagued with activity/internal issues, Whispers threw in the towel. VOEXM IS THE WINNER
!June 15th, YR11 TnxForRuiningWarTox (5:34) has withdrawn from war. Our people rejoice at our victory!

Following the decision by OMAC to legalize trading, AllianceRankings.com has decided to allow its users to open recruitment for their kingdoms. If you're interested in joining a new kingdom, or interested in finding players, we'll hope that this will ease your search and open communication between players game wide.
As a nice addition to OMAC's trading proposal, being able to search for players of your caliber and kingdoms of your style, we hope to help our fellow utopians find the level of play suitable to their needs and desires.
You're free to join us on IRC at #Recruits on Irc.Utonet.Org, as well as post up in our forum section for Kingdom Recruitment.
Please read the How To Post! thread so that we can keep the area as clean as possible!
If Your Kingdom should decide to open its own personal recruitment channel, you might find it a bonus to add this on to the bottom of your post in our forums!
Thanks,
Administration.

During June and July YR10, the Kingdom of DejaVu (2:24) received five sporadic learn attacks from Majesty KLA (11:11). Noting the potential honour gains and the relatively similar networth, DejaVu decided to retaliate in hope of taking it to war. They hit back with 9 massacres in an attempt to neutralise some of Majesty's T/M abilities while only staying unfriendly to them. Majesty's responding wave was 19 massacres throughout July, giving DejaVu the option to declare war. In no rush, they planned a wave for their most convenient time, declaring war amongst a wave of massacres:
January 4th, YR11 We have declared WAR on Majesty KLA (11:11)
As the war commenced, Majesty switched to semi chaining in an effort to overpopulate some of DejaVu's provinces and get a quick acre lead. This was effective as DejaVu had no land incoming from their previous wave, convincing DejaVu to make a tactical decision and switch to a similar semi-chaining strategy. Ruby dragons were sent by both kingdoms in the first day of war, with Deja vu also managing to send one in the later hours:
January 10th, YR11 Our dragon has set flight to ravage Majesty KLA (11:11)!
February 3rd, YR11 A Ruby Dragon from Majesty KLA (11:11) has begun ravaging our lands!
March 19th, YR11 Our dragon has set flight to ravage Majesty KLA (11:11)!
Throughout the war DejaVu had avoided hitting the few orcs of Majesty and the massacred provinces, allowing them to become land-fat and setting them up as targets for later. They suffered the effects of their diluted TPA, receiving night strike runs before eventually being hit down by DejaVu. Majesty continued semi-chaining throughout war, double tapping where possible and chaining wherever there was an opportunity, with DejaVu's single gnome being hit to around 300 acres. DejaVu switched to a max gains after sending their second dragon, managing to pull ahead in acres. At this point it became obvious that Majesty's two gnome rogues were going to keep them going throughout the war as they were unbreakable. They were sending out minimal offense in an attempt to grow and try to change the course of the war. Deja Vu recognised this and began to feed up provinces in order to take them down whilst fireballing them to weaken their economy and growth potential. Majesty's second dragon project was abandoned as they chose to pump their money into their military instead of the dragon. It became apparent that DejaVu would soon be able to break one of the large gnomes. Noting this, as well as the superior economies of DejaVu's elves and war heroes, Majesty decided to withdraw after 98 hours of war, roughly equal on acres. The war gave DejaVu their 4th win of the age and saw them leap frog Majesty in the honour charts with a gain of around 10k, putting them in 5th position.
May 2nd, YR11 Majesty KLA (11:11) has withdrawn from war. Our people rejoice at our victory!
** Summary of the war from Deja Vu (2:24) **
Total Attacks Made: 210 (28,280 acres) -- Traditional March: 172 (28,280 acres) -- Raze: 3 (204 acres) -- Massacre: 28 (66,974 people) -- Failed Attacks: 7 (3.3% failure) Total Attacks Suffered: 199 (25,229 acres) -- Traditional March: 186 (25,229 acres) -- Massacre: 3 (1,587 people) -- Failed Attacks: 10 (5% failure)

Earlier this afternoon, Omac sent emails to all utopians, informing them of the new province trading and sitting rules.

Greetings, Utopians! I bring you news from the development lab, as well as a few other pieces of news. However, I know you're going to ignore everything else except the Game Update news so you might as well skip straight to that now... -- |Game News| First, just to reiterate the game dates: WoL and Genesis both end on Monday 3rd Nov WoL will restart on Tuesday 4th Nov Genesis will take a break for 1-2 weeks, and then be restarted **Game ending times for both games will be significantly different. The fact that they're both starting so close together is a once-off.** -- |Game Updates| So we've added some new features. The first thing you'll see when you log in on the next round is a new account system and UI. Let's get the premium one out of the way first. 1. Province Sitting This is the official province sitting option. It is the *only* official sitting option. You'll see the function in your shiny new account section. In short, it costs 25c/day with the following rules: -Players may only sit one province at a time -The minimum number of sitting days in any one sitting session is 3 -The maximum number of sitting days over the age (per province) is 21 -Only players within your KD may sit your province -Only the player who is sitting the province may access it during this time, however, the original owner may cancel the sitting, after the initial period (3 days) is over -Province sitting will end when the player a) runs out of credits, b) runs out of maximum allowable number of days, or c) cancels the province sitting You'll see where you can purchase this in your main account. Currently, it accepts Paypal but we have premium SMS on the way in a few days. 2. Province Moving Province moving is now official but STRICTLY limited per round: -The maximum number of moves allowed *per account* is 3 -The maximum number of moves *per KD* is 3 You can physically move your province into another KD with the following conditions in place: -The moved province will revert to its initial state, with initial resources/cash, and 3 days of protection -You cannot move province if there is no space in the KD -The Monarch in the receiving KD must always approve the move 3. Province Trading Province trading is now official but STRICTLY limited per round. Just to be completely clear, province trading is taking over a province which used to belong to another player. The rules are as follows (all on a per round basis unless otherwise specified): - You can switch provinces with another person - provinces don't move, only the player controlling the province changes -The maximum number of trades allowed per province is 3 -The maximum number of trades allowed per account is 3 -The maximum number of trades allowed per KD is 3 Province trading behaviour is as follows: - You can take over someone else's province, and destroy your own in the process - You can take over someone else's province, and leave your old province in the Monarch's control - who can then assign it or let it be destroyed, but not log into it - KDs can earn bonus trades. Note that this system is experimental. We want to allow people sufficient freedom to trade, but also prevent abuse of the system, with people creating farm KDs. This system will be tweaked over time, with player input. Initially, it will work like this: Every month: -Each KD will get 1 bonus trade Every 2 weeks -The top 50 KDs in terms of NW/Honor will get an additional 1 trade Every 3 weeks: -The top 100 KDs in terms of NW/Honor will get an additional 1 trade Every 4 weeks -The top 250 KDs in terms of NW/Honor will get an additional 1 trade Additional Bonus Trade Behavior - if you rank for both NW and Honor, you will only be allocated *1* bonus trade - if you qualified for the last round of bonus trades, you will not be selected for the next e.g., if you are in the top 50, you will be automatically disqualified for the next top 100 and top 250 rewards -- |Other News| I don't normally pimp the other games in our network but in this case, I think it's worth it. Our friends over at Trukz.com are running a competition for an *8ft* Optimus Prime. A giant Optimus Prime, people! If you want to check it out, go to www.trukz.com, you'll see the link when you get there. -- We'll be transferring all games across to new servers over the next few days so you might see a little downtime. It's reasonably unlikely but you never know with Internet magic. -- The OMAC Development Team |
