Empire History
Ok, i´m going to try to blow you all to boredom even more with a bit of history about the B & N empire. Please, do not fall asleep on Alt + F4 :-)
During the Quickie Round, a few nationalistic Dutch and Belgium ambarians got the idea to make a national empire. When the reset was approaching fast, there weren´t enough players to fill up both empires. And then, when all hope seemed to be lost, a person came up with a brilliant idea: let´s make an empire of Dutch speakers, so Belgium and the Netherlands! And so it was.
The team in the first round had 4 Dutch and 6 Belgium players. The Dutch were Low Land, Lost World, OZ and Green Lizard. The Belgium Players were Belgian Squadron, Black Clouds, Burgi´s forever, O dierbaar Belgie, Tripland and VeMpiRiC JeSteR. (You can all find this here, with the Towers of Ambar Era Statistics)
This team had a succesfull first round and ended up 7th in Networth Rankings and 9th in Land Rankings. About Notoriety, with all respect for the people who do, we really don´t care about Notoriety as an empire.
After that round, we decided to continue with the empire. With all different reasons, a few people had to stop playing the empire. We started to recruit new and good players for them, and we ended up with this team: Aikon, Black Clouds, Goudzoeker, Green Lizard, Lost World, Low Land, Maarssen, O dierbaar Belgie, Pandaren Brewmaster and Up the Irons. We had a good start that round, and we (allmost?) haven´t been out of top 10 in Networth and Land. After a few big wars with Phil-Chi empire, it seemed that we were doomed to be 3rd in Networth and Land Rankings (and yes, we were about last in Notoriety). Then, with a few days left till the reset, the force was with us, and some bad luck was with Phil-Chi empire, so we took 2nd place in Networth! OneRingToRuleThemAll and Fast and the Furious found some good targets in the last days too, so they got some more land then we did, making them to finish in front of us in Land Rankings. The 6th Phil empire was out of range already for a long time, so there was no change of beating them. (with other words: we were glad they could not open to us)
