Popular Post Lupin III Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2019 LOOKING DEEP: TKR Welcome! To "Looking Deep"! "Looking Deep" is an sort of experiment I thought about a second ago, and one that I thought would be fun to try out. The premise of this, is a sort of thread for the members and ex members of the specified alliance to tell their story in it, and I thought the best way to start this off, is by selecting one of the most active communities in the game, TKR! Just a bit of backstory, if you are a newer player such as myself. I'm going to start at the "Trial of Tiers" because that's were I started off, and I don't want to fumble around, I'll leave that to those who reply to this thread ? Community From the time I began this game, to now, I always look at the community (Salty as it may be at times) to be the best part of this game, some people may agree or not, but that is my solid belief. Being that the community is such an important part, the first time I had seen TKR, it had seemed they had very much enshrined that belief into their alliance to make it a whole new community in itself, basically a family of sorts, if you will. I wouldn't shy away from saying that The Knights Radiant is one of, the most friendly, welcoming and active alliances out there, they also have a very important skill, that a lot of alliances ignore, welcoming newer players, making them feel at home, liked, etc. Welcoming newer players is such an important skill, I'm going to go on a bit of a rant because of how much it is. A lot of alliance forget about newer players, and have the mindset of "Hand them a guide and order them around" , a lot of newer players may shy away from conversation with older players, to not look silly in front of people that are more experienced, but alliances that deal with this, truly benefit the game, nurturing a newer player, and inviting them into conversation, playing games with them, or whatever is an absolutely crucial part of keeping this game alive, and most importantly having fun, especially with those new friends you have made. It might be a silly thing to say, but a loneliness of a player, a person whose joined for the game, but left because he has been shut out, is hard to see. A lot older players tend to see newer players as a obstacle in front of their "Next city" or "Progress" but those players have no idea what those new players mean to the game as a whole. They are the next generation, per se, and they should be supported. Hats off to most alliances, and very well done to those who help introduce newer players to their community and the P&W community as a whole. Anyway, that paragraph is meant to underline the importance of it, and in my opinion TKR is absolutely great at it, all the people are friendly, you can randomly chat to someone and they'll kindly do the same back to you, it is a very warm atmosphere, a sense of importance. Which, is very much so, the greatest trait in this game that an alliance could have. History TKR, is based off of a book by Brandon Sanderson, named "The Stormlight Archive", I can't say much about the beginning so as I've previously stated, I will move onto more familiar territory. Before Knightfall, TKR was an absolute powerhouse, perhaps not necessarily in military might, which was certainly a big stick they held, but in influence. TKR absolutely dominated world affairs, and that is not overestimating the history of it, TKR had been known as "The world police" for it's past actions, dealing with the Hogwarts-Sparta war, chasing down Partisan, etc, whatever was going on in the world, one way or another, they were certainly involved be it big or small. A lot of that can be seen to have started from Trial of Tiers, because of how much of an impact it had on very influential alliances, Mensa disbanding, t$ losing influence, certainly the rise of TKR as a truly alliance shifting power cannot have started if it had not become the dominant leader of Easy mode and certainly the loss of two Behemoths helped make that a reality, but the end of that era swiftly came around with Knightfall, beating TKR harder and giving them a loss that I would think would be hard to forget, the Chaos sphere, proved to be the evidence that TKR needed new allies, and also that it had lost the near Hegemonic power that it once held. It also hit TKR from 1st in the alliance leaderboards, doesn't seem important but new players sometimes choose the strongest alliance, learning from the best. Conclusion Now that you have either been thoroughly bored to death, or has even chosen to skip the whole segment above, for how possibly face palming my knowledge of it is. Please at least stay for this, if you are a member, leader, ex member of TKR then it would be great for you to share that story on this thread, your experience in the alliance, and for older players, possibly sharing interesting segments of your history. If this gets any if at all, positive review, I'll try to do another alliance of which I am interested in. Thank you! And If you do take a little bit of your time off, I appreciate it very much. this was not based on discord or slack because of micchan's absolute distaste for them if you go blind by reading this i bare no responsibility 5 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeve Thieves Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I'm relatively new to tkr and this game (only 111 days in the alliance and 114 days in game). But I must agree with what you said, regardless of your opinion of how TKRs attitudes to other alliances or whatever it is the most socially active and community driven alliance. You are welcomed and introduced to the alliance from the beginning and are taught the ins and outs of the game, supported throughout and are asked to contribute to anything and everything if you can and want to and even when I have felt like I messed up the alliance doesn't treat you like shit or anything (unless you really messed up and disobeyed direct orders I guess) they encourage you to look at how and why the mistakes happened and how to move on and build upon it so it doesn't happen again. If it whernt for the TKR community I would probably not be playing this game tbh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doge Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 TKR is a very welcoming alliance. I joined their discord server and Mitsuru knew I was KT from the get-go. I have never felt more welcome except when I joined the Pantheon discord server. If you were to give a theme song to TKR it would be the Cheers Intro Theme Song, because everyone is glad you came. I would classify TKR as a soul food, a good vegetable, and quite possibly thicc in the heart. And while being thicc in the heart is a medical condition that can have debilitating defects, you could not classify TKR as having a debilitating defect, unless of course you believed that too much love is debilitating. I believe without an objective doubt that TKR is the right place for you. tl;dr orange alliance good...? 2 3 Quote KT affiliate since 2017 Contact me on discord at Doge#9859 for business offers.

Popular Post Aksel Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2019 TKR is not only the best alliance in the game, but the active community is the greatest any simulation game alliance has to offer. There really isn't any other alliance that can compare to TKR and although I am a bit bias about their leadership (with Lordship being the best) leadership within TKR sets the standard of quality throughout Politics & War. Put clearly, if you dislike TKR or don't have the same opinion - you're probably racist, own slaves, and hate Politics & War.Paid for by the committee to keep TKR on Top. 1 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't tell, the sarcasm is working. I've never been a member but TKR has a strong community and they certainly aren't the worst protectorate The Syndicate has ever taken on by a longshot. 1 Quote One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Buorhann Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 My time in TKR was pretty damn boring, but I was also taking a break from the entirety of the game. One thing though, they've always been great people to coordinate/work with if you find yourself on the same side. 2 Quote Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on a post about TKR being awesome. Colour me surprised. lol ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I haven't been around that long, and I have been around TKR peeps a shorter time than that. But the ones I've met are friendly and fun to talk to. They also make great victims Troubleshooters when I do one-shots of Paranoia XP. I've never really had a poor interaction with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorcock Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I was only in TKR for about 2 months before my jump to Soup Kitchen (The Soup is Hot) TKR is probably the best community I have been in without a doubt, and I look forward to hopefully re-joining someday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Changeup Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2019 TKR has, hands down, the best community in the game. There is always someone hanging around willing to chat with you (usually a bunch of people are around) and it makes for a great time. One of the main reasons I joined was the promise of aid, guides, and mentors, and I'm pleased to say they followed through on that promise. Despite me constantly asking what to do, is this a good strategy, etc, they never got annoyed and were always happy to help me learn the ropes. I highly recommend TKR as an alliance for new and old players alike. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True King Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I realized Knightfall was going on when BC got hit by IQ & people were saying a global war was ongoing. Kind of formed my opinion of them from scratch there without looking at their history. I thought BC should have fought longer learning IQ was also fighting them; so felt like there was an opportunity to be allies there had I been in a leadership position or BC leadership having more fight in them. Also I respect TKR fought until that term was altered at least. They didn’t want to accept new members during the war at the time when I wanted to join, so looked elsewhere. Could have been interesting though. Although even if people remember bad stuff they did before my nation was created, personally I still have an overall positive opinion & respect the effort they’re making to come back from Knightfall. Good luck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
