I eventually met my Stormfall nemesis.
Lord X lives around 8 miles away and we have been raiding each other since we were baby castle around level 35-40ish. I used to get the better of him, but he still kept at it with heavier losses and bigger defeats. I recall once he threw his whole attack at me of around 3 million worth of troops and I just about defeated him, pulling all my defense from the Beacons in the process. That was at level 60-something and I was playing more regularly. Then as I logged on I found I’d been hit by 2000 or 3000 Pikemen or 1000 knights and I would FB back in return. I offered him an all or nothing battle, no league support, just me and him.
I lost!
…however, in the course of our angry dialogue we discovered we lived around 20 miles from each other, a few days after this we exchanged Chimera scrolls and decided to meet up. As it turned out ‘he’ was a girl! We then sat on nearby tables and threw chips and bits of pizza at our ice-cream sodas until she hit the top of my glass shouting “Fire bomb” and it smashed onto the floor.
I tried to claim it was an accident and we left hastily. I haven’t been back there now since it happened around 4 months ago, but it was worth it. We giggled like schoolchildren that day and now we have an agreement to support and defend each other which seems to be a much better arrangement than the battles of the past. We chat online and threaten to shower one another’s castles with blobs of ice-cream and with a degree of trepidation, we’re going out again. There’s around 20 years difference between us, but that doesn’t seem to matter as we’re both Stormfall fans.
We nearly got banned last time. Well …you’ve gotta have fun sometimes and we’ve pledged not to get kicked out anywhere or end up in jail, or at least we’ll try not to.
