As some of you know, when this game nearly died a few years ago, a lot of the player based shifted to War of Empires, where many of us remain. I recently proposed an idea on the WoE forum about creating a Game of Stones empire in the next age, and I thought it might be good to create a War of Empires clan here, too. Both games are small and share several players, and it seemed to make sense to give each other a boost, if only for one round. This game has changed a lot, and definitely for the better, since the great exodus to WoE occurred, and WoE has also changed a great deal since some of the GoS players left it to return here.
My original idea was mainly just to create an empire in WoE that was comprised mainly of players who came to that game from this one, just for fun and for old times' sake, but it just seemed natural to invite members of this game, old and new allike, to join in, while in return, bringing some people from WoE over (or in some cases, back) here. Tim liked the idea, and while the other game's creator hasn't commented on it, I honestly don't think he would have any objections. V8 in GoS will begin before Age 27 in WoE, so we will come here first. I will be bringing some newbies as well as some who haven't played since Craig moved on, so we will need some help. It would be especially fun if those of you who have played WoE would put alts in our clan to help out.
If some of you would be interested in exploring WoE for one round (an age lasts about two months) but do not have much time to invest in it, there are a few people who will be playing here that are very good at creating competitive WoE accounts without spending a whole lot of time in the game. Fearless is one, and Demongate, who will likely be returning for V8 here, is another. Also, Tintomara is well-versed in both games, although she has not yet committed to joining the GoS empire. Nevertheless, I know she would answer any questions about WoE, and so would I. I am most-easily reached as Coel on the WoE forum.
My hope, beyond just having fun with old GoSers in WoE, is that this might result in a few additional players for each game, even if they are very casual players. Both games are fun (although very different) and could use some fresh faces.
