Templar History

Memorable Events

• 2nd-06-07: KNT is founded by phantom24 and kotsios.

• 14th-08-07: KNTC was founded as KNTREF by melvin dad (R.I.P) to accomodate KNT/C's overflow.

• 21st-08-07: KNT members are booted by Rogue Barons "noub" and "bser", "d4v1dx133" tries to join in later. Their efforts are thwarted by HopelessDreamer, who acts through kotsios' account and dismisses them. HD reinvites the lost players, The Rogue barons are eliminated.

• 8th-09-07: KNT breaches well over 400 members. Melvin Dad, "Sporting a 'Uniro' tutu and 'WOE' overalls", slashes the member count by almost half in the following weeks.

• 8th-01-08: 10:04: Witheringxuponxlove (A [DT] Leader) Announces the union between KNT, DAVOE and Duuk Tsarith, donned TRIAD, it was regarded as the northern Hemisphere's equivalent force to BLOC. (Even though TRIAD didn't last, we thought it would be nice to keep the history of it alive)

• 17th-05-08: 03:28: Jpohlman extends an offer for KNT to join BLOC. KNT declines.

• 14th-07-08: Vercingetorix II, one of KNT's largest and most agressive players, suffers major and complete losses to KNT after going rogue. Before founding a tribe just to circumvent KNT diplomacy, he had broken a NAP, argued with leadership, and done severe morale damage to the tribe. In the end his mistake was to attack a KNT player. He lost 2.3 million points.

• 06th-08-08: KNT temporarily hits Rank # 3, it's highest rank so far in W8. (Caused by TRE {GAMBLE} temporarily breaking into two factions).

• ??-06-09: KNT/C dismissed NightPumas due to breach of rules and the Union starts mass nobling him. He has already lost more than 2 million points in less than a month.

Founding

KNT is a large tribe originally founded by phantom24 & Kotsios in K44. From humble beginnings, the tribes core region later moved to to K43, and KNT settled in to be the sole leading tribe in the region to date. The tribe was originally a member of the “Knights” Family, a small alliance of tribes, however HopelessDreamer and Melvin Dad broke the Knights Templar from this alliance as the tribes’ strength and social characteristics diverged from those of the other tribes.

Hierarchy & Personnel

KNT's history has been defined by strong leadership figures stepping forward to take up key roles as needed. Leadership hierarchy has been broken down internally to several tiers of workload. Some of these titles, and other descriptions, are available below.

Both KNT and KNTC tend to follow identical structure.

Duke

The leader, or leaders of the tribe. These players have the final say of any decisions. They earn their position. KNT has only one Duke. But there have been instances of dual position. KNTC maintains two current Dukes.

Councillor

KNTs council embodies all embers with special privileges. Most, but not all carry multiple titles. The opinions of all these players is valued, and taken into account during decision making.

Barons fall into this category.

Occasionally, players are involved in Council purely for their insight or opinions.

War Group Leaders

Continental Warlords are leader of their regions (K's), and are all part of the greater council. These players lead their regions on both Offence & Defence, actively communicating with adjacent WGL's. These are often called regional commanders by other tribes.

The extensive reach of KNT's territory is such that many WGL's govern double K's.

Forum Administrators

The workers on KNT's forums are often volunteered. One member of the council works on the hidden forums, as most basic forum administrators.

The Tribe

KNT relies on normal players who volunteer to do regular work, including forum cleaning, organising events, and planning attacks with their associated WGL. The tribe was built to function independently, with the goal of making the main structures capable of working even during severe periods of disorganisation following mergers or the occasional leadership breakdown. This fierce ability to function in dire circumstances is also mainly brought about by the fact that the tribe is made of several separate and distinct factions, all complete or partial groups from prior tribal merges who have remaining players who were once leaders of their respective tribes.

Merges

KNT has absorbed parts of many tribes, including PaX, SUIGEN, TCE, DAVOE, TSC, WALL, UNR and a partial merge from STD. Each tribe had a long, battle hardened history. REB (Previously known as TRE, a merge between the BLOC tribes THE and REL) has also provided members for KNT, as well as some members of CLOROX (who had at the time recently joined CLOROX in a merge from TCSPC).

More recently, KNT and KNTC have accepted a full merge from SKB.

Diplomacy

KNT's early diplomacy is obscure. Allies have been considered brothers.

The turbulent history of world 8, however, has seen some interesting turns.

KNT has generally been steady with alliances. A major exception to this is DAVOE, whom became a BLOC tribe, and engaged KNT in combat, as mentioned below (See wartime History). Their longest standing alliance has always been with [DT], a powerful, respectful ally, whom have often shared common enemies.

Diplomacy was once seen as 'any tribe that seems strong' policy, which was changed immediately when HopelessDreamer and Melvin Dad took positions in leadership. Over time, alliances dwindled to only the longest lasting, most mutually beneficial alliances.

Recruitment strategy

Early in it's history, KNT, like many tribes, was a mass recruitment tribe. The idea was safety in numbers. This process lasted for quite some time, enveloping the recruitment of numbers up to 50 joining players a day. Abandonment, ennoblement and better opportunities meant that players would often leave as fast as they came.

This changed, however, when KNTC was founded. Here, small players would stick to the crusaders and players over KNT's average points would join KNT.

Currently, KNTs size means that such opportunity is harder to come by, and thus the recruitment from KNTC to KNT is Area and point based, coupled with organisation and activity.

In general, players who join KNT and don't go through KNTC, join by themselves, or in mass-joinings, like merges. All in all, KNT recruitment is quite low, and KNTCs recruitment is quite high.

Wartime History

Current Wars
