Guarding the Fort.
 

For a Sunday night here (my time) it is eerily quite.

There are only about twenty or so people here at TFP.

How should one defend the castle when no one else is around?
Should I pull the drawbridge up and fire the catapults till the troops return?
Or should I wake one of the mods up?

It's so still.

Who is prepared to,(dare I say),LURK,when our survival is at stake?

Seriously,

There was like no one here a minute ago and it struck me as funny that this place can have the most participants ever at one time and then timezones take effect to create the opposite.

Doesn't matter.

Have catapult

Will defend.

I just sent my little army from Age of Empires II to destroy your catapult .
Left click , done . BOOHAHA !

Ha

My hills hoist will swing many a weapon to..............

Hang on

Your on my side........

ahhh hell cchris....mind if i play a round in that bunker?

*sorry...only a pitching wedge for a weapon*

never fear.

our great mods (sorry, blantant brown nosing there) have built great protected castles that are easy for us to defend in their absence.

firstly, Halx has built the central castle high up on a hill, with great uninterrupted views of the surrounding terrain.
this houses the **hidden** servers, which is a secret, so ssshhhhh....

secondly, the surrounding castles that house the likes of us, as well as the great works of art (including Marcopolos great work of Real time spamming the spammers) form a powerful ring around the central castle.
these periphery castles are also built with natural defenses, and are also spectacular.

but, also note the false castles that they have constructed to draw attention away from the real ones...
