I've seen the new gem purchase program as was stunned by the inclusion of a $10,000 value for monthly spending. I'm not that guy.I've played since maybe late fall last year, only checking kingdom MAYBE once a week. Nothing of interest. I read the boards, I thought many of the veterans here had a lot of good things to say about the game and I found the forum to be rather unlike those I've known in the past, so I gave the game more credence as a result.It wasn't until 2-11 of this year, that I began to actually play the game. wasn't really upgrading or getting into events of any significance until then. On 2-11, I decided, that I'd give this game some actual effort and sometime around there, I signed up for the forum to be able to actually, 'Speak' as well.Since 2-11, my stats have risen fairly well. Most will laugh, but for my kingdom and playing free, I think these jumps are not so bad:On 2-11: IPH $ 5,777On 4-17: IPH $12,1222-11: Att: 47,0004-17: Att: 186,5072-11: Def: 42,0004-17: Def: 171,948I upgraded 50 structures in 42 days starting on 2-11 and have upgraded 19 more in the past 30. I have no interest in 'camping' and am not concerned with being mauled down by the 'whales' of the game as people discuss in-game and here. It is what it is. I don't have a major power and as such, can only do what I can. I play with honor and the best I can and hope that I meet other honorable people, do good battle, and grow and learn.This post will also show a certain someone who's decided to take a 'liking' to me that I really don't care how much you want to 'scout' me, I don't hide and am very easy to find. I am allies with many from various clans and have had NO ISSUES until now with you. FYI: to all!!! I'm no 'SPY' and if you think I am, feel free to remove your alliance with me. I speak what's on my mind and don't bu!!**** anyone and never have and won't hide. Sorry guys... That's really only directed towards one person and so far, I haven't seen them posted on this thread yet, at least not by the one name I know them by, but I digress. Someone asked for a free players stats; I'm a free player and those are my stats. Respect them, loth them, laugh at them. They're the stats of a free player and took ABOUT 2 months to obtain. Also, I was in a camping guild for about a month of that time and do what I can with each event. I've also not asked for help by others in making runs at anything; whatever I've gotten, no matter how small, has been of my own doing.
