Started playing IK late December 2006 at (almost 18 years old) son's suggestion. Played under the nick of Grayshus and joined Empire as they were the most numerous around me at the time. Had 3 islands in O4 (2) & O5 (1) and the war with Digg started. Son, Sane (nick) had warned me that I was not defended well enough. I lost an island and battle for 5 days and 8 colo attempts to keep my main but when they weaken my remaining colony they took the main.
Sane wanted to get rid of his IK account and I took it over and gave mine away and my nick. Wow! I suddenly had 11 islands & resources flowing out of very corner. Kept the Gray part of my name and added the Sea.
Been involved in a few skirmishes with Orc. Took and lost one of trouble's islands in O42. Great fun planning to the last second my own attack. Getting up very early (I like to sleep late) to send the fleets off. Made mistakes and hopefully have learned from them. Was involved in a 'fun' attack on loqtor, which was an unmitigated failure and was then on the Orc radar.
I have moved to FoM for the protection and shelter that Empire can no longer give me.
We live on the Garden Route of Sunny South Africa, my totally computer illiterate husband of 28 years, our almost 18 year old computer & music nerd son and myself. I am a 'home executive' that hates house work so I sit at my PC all day long. I really am a newbie. I enjoy reading as well. I think I am tooo old to be playing IK but enjoy it all the same.
I'm sure that that is more than enough.
