'''Exploring''' is one of the main options for using [[turn|turn(s)]] in [[Earth Empires]]. In essence, your [[country]] spends turns to gain [[land]], by sending out explorers to discover and occupy new lands.

Exploring works on a sliding scale, with the amount of land explored per turn reducing as your total land increases. However, the amount of land explored per turn does not change if multiple turns are used for exploring in a single instance, regardless of what thresholds may be passed. Therefore, it is generally most beneficial to explore at the start of a new [[reset]], as well as exploring in large batches in order to capitalize on higher exploration rates.

== Explore Rates ==
Your explore rate is always an integer, and is used as such when exploring is started.

===Batch Exploring===
When you explore, you can designate a certain number of [[turns]] to explore with. Your acres-per-turn explore rate is '''not''' recalculated between each explored turn. '''Batch Exploring''' means using a full batch of turns (86, 120, 126, or 160 turns depending on your server) to explore
with all at once. So for example, if your explore rate was 22 acres per turn, you would find roughly <tt>22 acres * FullTurns</tt>. You will not grow as fast exploring in smaller bits and pieces.

====Considerations====
Depending on your choice of [[government]] or [[strategy]], overhead costs such as military upkeep or food should be watched closely. If you are already consuming lots of resources per turn, be sure to take into account that as your military grows, costs will increase significantly. As more people come to your country, food will be consumed faster.

Natural Born Killers Retal Policy

Synoder: /* Pacted Alliances */

[[Category:Retal Policies]]
Natural Born Killer Retal Policy:

== Unpacted Alliances ==

NBK has no upper limit on how many hits a clan can do on us.

1 hit on a NBK country within 24 hours -
We retal 1 hit(1:1)

2 hits on a NBK country within 24 hours -
We retal 3 hits(1:1, 2:1)

3 hits on a NBK country within 24 hours -
We retal 6 hits(1:1, 2:1, 3:1)

4 hits on a NBK country within 24 hours -
We Farm then Kill.

== Pacted Alliances ==
- Pacted Alliances are contact only, on all hits, and decisions will be made upon contact.

- Reverse two stepping, is grabbing your country within 72 hours before hitting someone. Also if really try to take advantage of that rule, we can decide what country to retal.
Our stance is we start on, country is killeable, FA contact will be done.

- Two stepping, is attacking someone then grabbing your own country before the retal was done up to a 72 hour maximum.
Our stance is country is killeable, FA contact will be done.

- Attacking and then dropping land before retal is done. We view this same as two stepping. If you have to drop land, wait for retal first, or 72 hours.

- Retal on Retal, we don't care if you do it to us, but will respect it if someone has that policy. It is if a country has just done a retal and is then hit by a landgrab from NBK within 24 hours of said retal.

- NBK's policy on jetters, we don't care if you do it to us. Contact us by FA if you think there is an issue.

- NBK will try not to hit more then 8 times on any clan in a 24hr period for clans above 90 members and 5 hit per 24hrs for clans under 90 members, and for now will accept 2:1 on anything over our self imposed limit. But this rule is subject to change, will see about changing the amount of attacks to match clan size, so smaller clans will not be hit the full amount.
- Special attacks. All special attacks handled by FA. If special attack is suspected to have been done on purpose, stance start from target is killeable.

== Natural Born Killers ==

The world was not ready for us, but they had to see us anyways. The Natural Born Killers, started in 2001, migrated from the game Earth 2025 Free For All Server. We now reside in the Free For All Server in the game that has taken Earth 2025's place. Here in NBK we try to war EVERY set, and we try to find a challenging war, not just one thats given to us by the other clan. Apply at [http://nbk.boxcarhosting.com]

== History ==

====Earth 2025 ====
During the year of 1999, when FFA was about to start, a man, [[Soul Stealer]], was eager to start his countries. During this time FFA let your have unlimited countries, but [[Soul Stealer]] only made 20. Not too long after he became a member of ChaosFoG. 
It was about a month into the reset when the leader of ChaosFoG asked [[Soul Stealer]] if he wanted to lead the clan as the original leader was leaving the game, and so he did. ChaosFoG climbed to around 65 or so countries, but when the end of the set was near, a clan named the Death Knights farmed ChaosFoG really bad. [[Renegade Ridge]], also known as Vise, contacted [[Soul Stealer]] about the issue. ChaosFoG killed about 30 Death Knight countries before the set ended. 
The new set started and Soul Stealer’s ChaosFoG built up countries for the set. [[Soul Stealer]] ran 45, and the rest ran a few more than he. The Death Knights hacked Soul Stealer's GeoCities clan site, and found their plans to attack them in the future; overnight 60 ChaosFoG countries were killed. 
ChaosFoG fought until near tagkilled. When that was near, [[Soul Stealer]] contacted [[Lord Rahl]] and conceded victory. The Death Knights offered ChaosFoG a safe place within DK, and so they merged. All former ChaosFoG rebuilt their countries, and by the end of the 2nd set, DK declared war on IMP. They devastated IMP, killing 244 counties, leaving them with 36 countries when the war was ceased. 
The leaders of DK became inactive over time, so in place of Lord Rahl, and Lord David, Soul Stealer and Icron took over the clan. Many internal issues arose, and on top of that IMP was beating down DK countries. DK closed its doors soon after, [[Soul Stealer]] taking half of the members to form Fatality Force(xFATALx) and [[Icron]] taking the other half to form Demon Warriors(DWAR). 
Fatality Force despite being 300 countries strong, which was a good number back then, was being kicked around in the server. Near the end of the 3rd set, O[[evilOne]], the current IA, came up with the name, Natural Born Killers. So on November 17th 1999, the Natural Born Killers came to be. 
With a little development in gameplay, and heavy duty recruiting, NBK was become a force. Taking in clans such as No Mercy, lead by [[Kill4Free]], and were very good netters, as well as AxuzBrazil, and another named SKULLZ, whose leaders were Viper ([[Primeval]]) and [[TCO]] (Alex), and [[Synoder]]. A great force NBK was becoming. 
A Coalition by the name of TC (The Coalition) was started, and was known to have bullied clans around all the time. NBK tried many things to stay strong from TC, who consisted of clans like PANxTC, USIMPxTC, MIAxTC, NHDPxTC, and BLOODxTC, who were basically the big dogs of the server. 2 other coaltions ESYN and UEA were started as well. ESYN, Earth Syndicate, consisted of clans such as RAGE, TSE, DWAR, and SWORDS, and were considered the other big dogs of the server. UEA, United Earth Alliances, were basically the small guys, and consisted of HalfDead, LaO, LoTu, AoD, TIE, and IMP. 
NBK joined the first coalition they were asked to be in, TC. Thus NBK’s tag became NBKxTC, to become TC pawns. Some NBK members did not like the arrangement, but NBK gave it a try anyways. 
NBK by TC heads, were directed to take care of smaller clans, executing them from the server. NBK, becoming tired of being puppets, decided to detach from the TC Organization. 
TC Heads did not like the fact NBK was leaving them and planned a strike on NBK. Overnight NBK’s numbers dropped to almost nothing; NBK was in shambles. TC clans beat NBK down to nothing and gained control of the NBK clan site, leaving NBK homeless with no countries. Soon later NBK took refugee in DWAR for a couple weeks, then becoming a sub tag of TSE during the 4th reset to help them win TNW, AVGNW, and Total Members. A triple crown. 
[[Soul Stealer]], going on to becoming an Ezclan Admin, made a site for NBK, NBKFFA.com. When the site was done, he invited all members back and soon later NBK was back. Member such as [[Sephiroth]], [[Ryugo]], [[QM Diver]], [[Kill4Free]], [[Rebel]] and [[TCO]] came back and together they rebuilt NBK. Many more NBKers returned making NBK a force to mess with. 
In the 5th reset, NBK joined the coalition, UEA, in their fight against ESYN and TC. NBK had 3-4000 countries at the time, and was huge. In joining UEA, NBK received a lot of threads from big time multi runners about not going to UEA or they will be suicided. NBK, who had a lot of impact on who they decided to hit, decided to go with the odds to even the coalitions up. 
During this time, NBK was under a lot of pressure, being hit by 5 different clans at once, but bounced back with the help of BLOOD and defeated all 5 clans. 
Starting of the 7th Reset NBK was a consistent top 8 contender clan. With a lot of original members still involved in clan activities, NBK had reached unbelievable recruiting numbers. At any given time NBK had 145 members in site and active. 

----

==== Earth Council ====

NBK stayed in FFA for years, only for FFA to be shut down and replaced with a User Managed Server, also known as Earth Council. 

NBK thought they would give it a try, but with 50 members playing, they still weren’t big enough to be a force in a server where there was only 1 country allowed. Bigger clans would farm NBK tremendously. NBK did manage to get a country into #1 with some teamwork. 
NBK disbanded after a short time in EC. 
2008, General [[TwizTid]] decided to try and give leading NBK a go in Earth Council a go, pacting several good clans. [[TwizTid]] was not up to the challenge of leading NBK, and soon they floundered, being killed off by IlluminX for declaring on Netters Anonymous with the Sons of Liberty. NBK then again, disbanded after the set was over. 
Around the later months in 2009, [[Sauron]] sent out an email to start NBK back up again. Several people responded and soon after NBK was back in Earth Council. [[Sauron]] leading the clan with General [[TwizTid]] as Vice President. 
The 1st set NBK was back in Earth 2025, OMAC, the current owners of the game, announced that they would be closing down Earth 2025 forever. 
NBK just came back and the game was ending? Good thing, LaF member, [[Pangaea]] and Evolution member [[Qzjul]] made a new game, called Earth Empires. The game was done pretty quick so that people could leave Earth 2025 and move on over with ease. A new beginning indeed. 

----

==== Earth Empires ====

NBK, with most of Earth 2025 moved over to EE. There was only a couple servers when the game opened, Earth Council, and Earth Alliance. NBK heard FFA was coming back, so the leaders fixed the site(Boxcar) and got ready for FFA to begin. [[Sauron]] contacted many members, such as [[Rebel]], [[Gambit]], [[QM Diver]], General [[TwizTid]] and more, to come back, and they did. 
FFA opened up February of 2010 once again with a 15 country limit. 
===== 1st Set =====
NBK started the set, having about 15 members and close to 220 countries, which was a decent amount, being 3rd in total countries. GT, being the VP, FDP’d a clan by the name of AoDT, Asylum of Dark Templars. AoDT and NBK, both war clans, both FDP’d, 2 of the top 3 clans in total countries. There really were no targets for NBK and AoDT. [[Makinso]], president of AoDT contacted NBK about having a friendly, but NBK said no. 
Later on, word got out that NBK was going to hit AoDT. [[Makinso]] got his troops ready in IRC and planned a FS on NBK. He then contacted General [[TwizTid]], HoW, and [[QM Diver]], HIA, and asked for a friendly again. Saying he would take all the targets and hit most of the small clans in FFA. Hitting all the small clans would result in people leaving the server and dooming its success. Both QM and GT, sitting in a tight spot, let AoDT FS NBK. The FS devastated NBK, making members angry, and almost causing GT’s leave of NBK. 
Despite being murdered, NBK only lost one unstable member in all of this. AoDT gave NBK a CF, and GT remained in NBK. [[Rip It Up]] took over the HoW position and planned an FS on AoDT break an FDP and CF. NBK already being down in numbers, and way low in TNW, FS’d AoDT. They knew they were fighting a losing battle. The set ended with NBK being on the losing side, and the numbers lopsided. AoDT vowed to kill NBK every set after this first one. 
===== 2nd Set =====
The 2nd set, came new vets returning, such as [[Kill4Free]], [[Scoobie]], [[Dizology]], as well as a few new members. NBK was slightly bigger than the last set, having about 260 tagged countries. NBK had already planned on wargaining, and FDP’d 2 smaller clans, IMP and DK. 4-5 weeks into the set, AoDT along with the Syndicate, joint FS’d NBK, 600+ countries on 260. Hours after, DK and IMP jumped in and FS’d AoDT and SYN. Despite having a number advantage, AoDT and SYNs FS was weak. 
SYN, having recruited a aggressive member, turned out to be LaE’s multie, suicided on Focus and LaE. A plan by Ice man and their couple leaders apparently. SYN was no more. Focus, lead by [[Crippler ICD]], FS’d SYN and tagkilled them. 
That left IMP, DK and NBK, against AoDT. AoDT whined about how much of a gangbang it is, and even tried to persuade other clans to force IMP and DK out of the fight, but IMP and DK didn’t budge. AoDT was tagkilled halfway through the set until they forced a Ceasefire on NBK. 
A couple weeks later, AoDT, recruiting some breakers, and making friends with IMP and DK, FS’d Focus for butting into the war. NBK was not having that. A couple days after the 3 FS’d Focus, NBK FS’d AoDT again, breaking the Ceasefire once again. AoDT was brought from 220 tagged, to 45 in 4 days. 
NBK finished the 2nd set, second in total networth, getting over 150k hits, and 570 kills. A set to remember in new Earth Empires.
===== 3rd Set =====
The third set AoDT attacked NBK early Sunday morning the third week into the set. A first strike with around 450 countries on NBK's 350, sending a wave of over 5000 missiles at NBK that they were saving from the start of the set. Combined with the fact that a lot of NBK members were on vacation, and the quickness of AoDT's strike, NBK lost over 200 of its countries in 3 days, killing 67 during that time. Within a week of the FS, NBK lost almost all original countries. Changing its strategy, NBK started targetting the restarts of AoDT with their restarts, and within days killed every single restart AoDT had tagged, and consistently taking down built up countries with restarts a tenth their size. After a week AoDT members gave up on making restarts, out of the first couple hundred they made, only a dozen lived to get to a safer networth.
After seeing all restarts dead, NBK started killing from the bottom up, sometimes taking a hundred failed attacks in a row to break the defenses of the stronger, and ten times larger AoDT countries. Every country that was lost was replaced within a day, and killing again within two days. NBK's numbers barely wavered from the 330 it was standing at, while their oppositions numbers were dropping every day.
After a month of grueling restarts, almost all NBK members had over 50 countries made, finally killed almost all actively hitting opposition. [[Makinso]] seeing this, ordered AoDT members to rise in networth as fast as they could, trying stay ten times longer. All major hitting from what was left of AoDT ceased overnight, and NBK removed its networth cap rule (to limit AoDT to only being able to hit NBK with their lowest countries due to humanitarians). With the networth cap removed, NBK's killing ability doubled, and what was left of AoDT died almost overnight. The battle was lost by kill counts, but NBK was alive, and stronger then ever with 360 countries at wars end. AoDT had 75 countries remaining out of protection, barely a sixth of what they started with, many of their members giving all hope of making restarts stopped playing.
===== 4th Set =====
The fourth set, NBK still angry over the last war, having been hit by a far larger amount of countries, declared war on AoDT within the first week. Killing almost all AoDT tagged countries out of protection within the first 12 hours of the FS, AoDT was disbanded by makinso, and the NBK vs AoDT war was won.
For the rest of the set, NBK having a oldschool rule of no self farming allowed in their clan, had members actively landgrabbing. Over the previous three sets NBK being in a war almost the entire time, this rule was not and issue, and all of FFA went back to self farming. Landgrabbing frowned upon and not done by anyone anymore.
===== 5th Set =====
Last set did not provide [[NBK]] a good war challenge and looked to remedy this in the 5th set. Having no grudges against any current clans, [[NBK]] decided to declare war on what they felt like was the most challenging opponent the server had to offer other than their only ally, LAE. [[PANLV ]] was was not only the 2nd largest clan behind only [[LAE]] but has also been known in previous years to put up a solid warring effort and was chosen as NBK's target. Thus began the [[NBK vs PANLV]] war. While at first [[PANLV]] appeared to show little interest in warring, they quickly regrouped and brought back some of their veteran killers to aid in the war. They showed inspiring resiliance after NBK's solid first strike and continued to fight even though [[NBK]] held a signifiact networth advantage. After nearly a month of war and countless restarts, [[NBK]] outgrew [[PANLV]] to the extent that warring was no longer feasible due to humanitarian restrictions and a ceasefire was arranged. [[NBK]] dominated the war stats but gained a new respect for the members of [[Pandora's Last Vikings]].

===== 6th Set =====

War with Sof, more coming soon...

===== 7th Set =====

War with Pan and Focus, more coming soon...

NBK vs SOF - Dec 14 2010

Synoder:

[[Category:Wars]]

== Background ==

After the [[NBK]] vs [[PANLV]] war ended [[NBK]] began aggresively landgrabbing in an attempt to finish with a decent NW in the short amount of time left in the set. This style of play began to create tension between [[NBK]] and [[SOF]] and the majority of the landgrabs against [[SOF]] were done by small [[NBK]] countries against large landfat [[SOF]] countries. Over the course of the remainder of the set, tensions continued to rise as both sides were guilt of shady LGing practices such as dropping land after grabs, 2 stepping, and running all jetters. Tensions reached a peak at the very end of the set as a [[SOF]] member detagged and killed a [[NBK]] country without provocation. The [[SOF]] member had half of his countries tagged in [[LAE]] and half [[SOF]] but he only hit with the previously tagged [[LAE]] ones and 1 of the [[SOF]] detagged countries. [[NBK]] promptly killed all of the [[SOF]] member's countries including the countries still tagged [[SOF]] that he did not use to attack with. Several [[SOF]] leaders were outraged that [[NBK]] killed the [[SOF]] countries without making contact first and [[NBK]] was unapologic as they viewed all of the countries in that string as suiciders and contact was not necessary. [[SOF]] began actively recruiting members to war [[NBK]] in the following set and gained several members from [[alliance]] but still was only roughly half the size of [[NBK]]. [[NBK]] knew that [[SOF]] was looking for a war but seeing that they were not able to gain enough members [[NBK]] decided to take a set off from warring and attempt a rare netgaining set. What [[NBK]] did not realize at the time was that [[SOF]] had become allies with a new clan, DOOM made up of several fromer [[NBK]] members and leaders and also [[NBK]]'s outspoken enemy, [[Makinso]]. [[SOF]] and DOOM announced a merger which gave them a slight country advantage over [[NBK]] on Dec 11th [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=5839&p=1292100963&z=i-m-glad-to-anounce].

== The War Begins ==

[[NBK]] realized that [[SOF]] was now in a position to attack and began keep a close eye on [[SOF]] to see what their intentions were. When [[SOF]] began stocking oil and keeping turns on hand [[NBK]] knew that an attack was immenant and made the decision to strike first even though [[NBK]] was not fully war prepped and only had 24hrs of turns stored. On Dec. 14th [[NBK]] declared war on [[SOF]] [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=5880&p=1293469890&z=nbk-declares-war] and one of the best wars FFA has ever seen began.

== The War ==

=== First 24hrs ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-

|-
| Hits || 11,316 || 11,989
|-
| Kills || 68 || 50
|-
| HPK || 166 || 240
|}

=== Christmas Ceasfire ===

On dec. 23rd both alliances agreed to a 72 hr ceasefire to celebrate the Christmas holiday. Warstats as of the 23rd were:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stat !! NBK!! SOF
|-
| Hits || 65,312 || 57,370
|-
| Kills || 313 || 215
|-
| HPK || 209 || 267
|}

=== War Strategies===
Both alliances implemented war strategies that were widely critized but somewhat unorthodox. [[NBK]] focused on killing restarts and the most active hitters regardless of NW instead of the traditional top down killing approach. They believed that by forcing [[SOF]] to continually restart they would eventually tire and start dropping in total countries. It also allowed NBK to gain a sizable advantage in hits per day while sacrificing NW. [[SOF]] used a strategy aimed at crippling [[NBK]]'s ability to break by killing only original countries and ABing [[NBK]]'s main breakers. This allowed [[SOF]] to gain a large advantage in NW and ANW and outgrow [[NBK]]'s breakers. They were also able to become nearly unbreakable in spies which was a constant hinderance to [[NBK]] throughout the war. Both strategies were very effective and worked exactly as designed.

=== Stonewalling ===

Both sides were extremely effective in stonewalling and speedkilling became a neccessity for both sides. Countless countries were saved due to the quick response time of everyone involved and many a killers were left frustrated as they were walled time and time again within seconds of starting a kill.

== The Turning Point ==

After the Christmas ceasefire, [[NBK]] showed a unyielding determination by continuing to hit at full force and restart almost instantly while [[SOF]] had several key members go inactive due to various issues outside of the game. [[NBK]] was hitting at nearly double the rate of [[SOF]] and [[SOF]] was dropping in total countries everday as they were tiring of restarting and the inactive members were not replacing their dead. [[NBK]] began to gain on [[SOF]]'s NW advantage and continued killing [[SOF]]'s restarts before they could become a threat while slowly picking away at the remaining [[SOF]] originals. [[SOF]] continued killing [[NBK]]'s top countries but they were not being replaced by restarts faster than [[SOF]] could kill them. It was now just a matter of time before [[SOF]] was tag killed and would lose all ability to effectively fight back. Due to the inopertune inactivty of key members of [[SOF]] and realizing that they were fighting a losing battle, [[SOF]] surrendered on Jan. 2nd [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=6348&p=1294099127&z=sof-declares-a-ceasefire-with-nbk] shortly after [[NBK]] passed [[SOF]] in total NW..

== Final Warstats ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Stat !! NBK!! SOF
|-
| Hits || 117,465 || 79,574
|-
| Kills || 534 || 295
|-
| HPK || 220 || 270
|}

== Conclusion ==

In one of the most impressive wars FFA has ever seen both [[NBK]] and [[SOF]] gained a great deal of respect for each other's warring abilities and had [[SOF]] not had members go inactive after the Christmas ceasfire the outcome would have been much closer. The determining factor in this war was not warring ability but sheer activity as [[NBK]] proved once again that they are the dominate warring clan on the server and that they will restart faster than any other clan. [[SOF]] being a netting clan for the most part and also new to the server proved that they are a force to be reckoned with and have a bright future in FFA and can go toe to toe with anyone.

What [[NBK]] did not realize at the time was that [[SOF]] had become allies with a new clan, DOOM made up of several fromer [[NBK]] members and leaders and also [[NBK]]'s outspoken enemy, [[Makinso]]. [[SOF]] and DOOM announced a merger which gave them a slight country advantage over [[NBK]] on Dec 11th [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=5839&p=1292100963&z=i-m-glad-to-anounce].

== The War Begins ==

[[NBK]] realized that [[SOF]] was now in a position to attack and began keep a close eye on [[SOF]] to see what their intentions were. When [[SOF]] began stocking oil and keeping turns on hand [[NBK]] knew that an attack was immenant and made the decision to strike first even though [[NBK]] was not fully war prepped and only had 24hrs of turns stored. On Dec. 14th [[NBK]] declared war on [[SOF]] [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=5880&p=1293469890&z=nbk-declares-war] and one of the best wars FFA has ever seen began.

=== Christmas Ceasfire ===

On dec. 23rd both alliances agreed to a 72 hr ceasefire to celebrate the Christmas holiday. Warstats as of the 23rd were:

|}

=== War Strategies===
Both alliances implemented war strategies that were widely critized but somewhat unorthodox. [[NBK]] focused on killing restarts and the most active hitters regardless of NW instead of the traditional top down killing approach. They believed that by forcing [[SOF]] to continually restart they would eventually tire and start dropping in total countries. It also allowed NBK to gain a sizable advantage in hits per day while sacrificing NW. [[SOF]] used a strategy aimed at crippling [[NBK]]'s ability to break by killing only original countries and ABing [[NBK]]'s main breakers. This allowed [[SOF]] to gain a large advantage in NW and ANW and outgrow [[NBK]]'s breakers. Both strategies were very effective and worked exactly as designed.

=== Stonewalling ===

Both sides were extremely effective in stonewalling and speedkilling became a neccessity for both sides. Countless countries were saved due to the quick response time of everyone involved and many a killers were left frustrated as they were walled time and time again within seconds of starting a kill.

== The Turning Point ==

After the Christmas ceasefire, [[NBK]] showed a unyielding determination by continuing to hit at full force and restart almost instantly while [[SOF]] had several key members go inactive due to various issues outside of the game. [[NBK]] was hitting at nearly double the rate of [[SOF]] and [[SOF]] was dropping in total countries everday as they were tiring of restarting and the inactive members were not replacing their dead. [[NBK]] began to gain on [[SOF]]'s NW advantage and continued killing [[SOF]]'s restarts before they could become a threat while slowly picking away at the remaining [[SOF]] originals. [[SOF]] continued killing [[NBK]]'s top countries but they were not being replaced by restarts faster than [[SOF]] could kill them. It was now just a matter of time before [[SOF]] was tag killed and would lose all ability to effectively fight back. Due to the inopertune inactivty of key members of [[SOF]] and realizing that they were fighting a losing battle, [[SOF]] surrendered on Jan. 2nd [http://forums.earthempires.com/Forum.php?threadid=6348&p=1294099127&z=sof-declares-a-ceasefire-with-nbk] shortly after [[NBK]] passed [[SOF]] in total NW..

'''Player''': 
Silent Sentinel 

'''AKA''': 
SS, Sent, Grant 

'''History''': 
First reset of Earth he played was ***-*** of **** when he was recruited to RAGE just prior to a war with LCN. Not knowing anything about the game and being of great enthusiasm and vigour, when he discovered RAGE was under attack in an FS he logged straight ingame and began throwing all his missiles at the attackers. Several leaders who were in the mIRC warroom almost had a heart attack and it took several Ragers ingaming him repeatedly to get his attention to pull back.

His enthusiasm and work ethic were quickly noticed by RAGE leadership and he was soon asked to step into a junior leadership position. He chose to go the Internal Affairs path as opposed to War Dept, Foreign Affairs or Division Leader. From there he was an Officer under Riddler and Onisake and would eventually ascend to Internal Affairs secretary when the role became available. Internal Affairs is where he works best and where he chooses to specialise however when RAGE needed him elsewhere he stepped into those roles aswell. On occasion he has been a Div Leader and War Leader and unofficial FA but chooses not to retain any of those roles.

After all the SLIT wars he had grown tired of the lack of variety RAGE experienced and decided to try it from another perspective. He left RAGE and went to join TIE who were 'on the other side of the fence' and became good friends with The Sentinel there. Another of his close frinds, Vinag, came across also. His first reset in TIE was ***-*** of ****. After some time in the member ranks he volunteered to help out and was soon taking on leadership roles. This time he chose to try something different and took up Foreign Affairs. He found out much to his expectation that it wasn't something that greatly interested him and didn't remain in the role for an extended period of time. He liked the people at TIE but found their PG13 culture a little too chaffing for his style so after some time he stepped down from leadership and really pulled back from his heavy involvement.

After being headhunted back to to RAGE he was at some point promoted to Vice President of RAGE and following a short stint in the role, attributed to burnout and the climate at the time, he stepped back from the game and went to concentrate on real life matters.

He returned to RAGE in April 2010 which was the 3rd set of Earth Empires. Characteristically, he couldn't simply play the game as a lazy veteran and soon found himself back in a leadership position. He is the driving force behind the rejuvination of Rage. Through his leadership direction and own work the alliance has re-employed a better operating structure, it's membership count improved by 75% in a single set and internal morale and activity has skyrocketed.

Somewhere in the middle of playing Earth 2025 in Earth Council server he decided he'd achieved most things a player could in Earth so he decided to found his own alliance on the old alliance server. He called it The Crimson Reign and it was largely modelled after Rage's structure but with some changes that had been resisted by other leadership in the latter alliance. He built the fully operational ES site from scratch, including boards, menus, ranks, perms, medals, schemes, signatures, login and contact pages among other things. It was and always will be his pride and joy, and if he ever gets his hands on Comwood for shutting the server down, he will in all probability beat him to within an inch of his life. The Crimson Reign attempted a new life at a very unfortunate time, as it happened it was the same set Rigor Mortis came to be, a collaboration of many Earth vets who wanted to create a big one off tag and simply harrass and destroy other alliances on the server for a single reset. Rigor Mortis ultimately chose to harrass Crimson Reign and when the latter responded to their bullying actions by killing an offender the 72 strong might came down hard on a fledgling 16 man alliance, and tag killed them shortly there after. The Crimson Reign was made up primarily of RAGE and TIE vets personally recruited by Silent Sentinel.

One day he claims it will live again... One day...
