Blacklist is being rebuilt as a serious battle alliance for organized KvK play. This page explains what that means in practice.
Respect the kingdom. Train for war. Protect our members.
1. Execution-first culture
Blacklist values input, planning, and alternative viewpoints. Members and R4s should speak up when they see a better option, a flawed plan, or a risk leadership is missing.
But once a decision is made, Blacklist operates on disagree and commit. During battle there is no room for live debate while calls are active. Players are expected to follow assignments, rally rules, hero instructions, troop ratios, and timing calls even if they would have chosen differently.
- Discussion happens before or after the fight.
- Execution happens during the fight.
2. Leadership owns gaps
Blacklist leaders are expected to act with ownership.
- If Bear Trap needs a lead, step in.
- If gathering tiles need to be refreshed, handle it.
- If an Outpost is under attack and you are the only lead online, organize the response.
- If members are confused, clarify the call.
- If a rally needs structure, build the structure.
The expectation is not to wait for perfect permission or avoid action because someone might feel stepped on. The expectation is to fill alliance needs.
This does not mean creating chaos or overriding an assigned leader who is already handling the issue. It means Blacklist leaders are expected to use judgment, act quickly, and solve problems when they see them.
3. Battle discipline
Blacklist is built around disciplined structure fighting. Members should expect clear calls around:
- Rally timing
- First-four joiners
- Hero assignments
- Troop ratios
- Refill timing
- Rally lead roles
- Defensive holds
- Counter-rally timing
- Healing and reset flow
- Discord command channels
Power matters, but discipline matters more. A strong account that ignores calls can hurt the alliance more than a smaller account that executes correctly.
4. Quality over quantity
Blacklist prioritizes quality over quantity. The goal is not to fill every slot as fast as possible or chase leaderboard rank with the wrong players. Blacklist would rather be a half-full alliance of disciplined, active, reliable fighters than a full alliance carrying players who ignore calls, miss commitments, or create avoidable drama.
Paper power matters, but effective combat power matters more. A smaller group that shows up, follows rally instructions, communicates, heals quickly, and executes assigned roles can bring more useful combat force to an event than a larger alliance that looks stronger on the leaderboard but cannot be planned around.
Blacklist may not always show as top 3 by raw alliance power immediately. The expectation is that Blacklist should still bring top-tier effective battle impact to major events through discipline, attendance, preparation, and execution.
5. Event participation and reliability
Blacklist expects reliable event participation from members who want serious war roles. This does not mean every player must attend every event — real life happens. But Blacklist needs accurate commitments so leadership can plan rallies, assignments, structure coverage, and battle roles without guessing.
Minimum expectations:
- Give accurate availability for major events.
- Do not commit to an event and then disappear without notice.
- Communicate early if plans change.
- Participate regularly in major alliance and kingdom battle events.
- Be a common participant in events such as Swordland, Tri-Alliance, Bear Trap, Outpost, Sanctuary, Fort, and KvK prep activities.
- Take assigned roles seriously when you sign up.
- Avoid signing up only for rewards while skipping execution responsibilities.
Blacklist’s goal is not just to collect strong accounts — it’s to build a reliable battle group. Reliable mid-power players who show up, communicate, and execute are more valuable than stronger accounts that cannot be planned around.
6. KvK prep discipline
Blacklist members who want serious war roles are expected to prepare like serious war players. That means:
- Saving True Gold, speedups, healing speedups, and major combat resources when instructed.
- Avoiding wasteful troop losses before KvK unless part of an approved battle test or event plan.
- Maintaining shields during high-risk windows.
- Preparing correct hero presets, troop presets, and march size boosts before battle.
- Following alliance instructions for King buffs, mobilization, training, healing, and power events.
- Joining Discord and watching battle channels during major KvK windows.
- Communicating attendance and availability early.
- Prioritizing kingdom war readiness over personal score-chasing when needed.
Blacklist will not require every member to be a whale. It requires members to be disciplined. Power without prep discipline does not help in KvK.
7. Kingdom posture
Blacklist will support K1531’s growth, stability, and KvK readiness.
Blacklist is a serious battle alliance, not a passive shell. That means we will train, contest objectives, participate in organized combat, and prepare seriously for KvK.
Blacklist will respect kingdom-wide rules, protected windows, event agreements, and leadership-approved NAP arrangements.
At the same time, Blacklist is not seeking broad, permanent NAP agreements that remove meaningful battle gameplay or prevent the kingdom from training for real fights. Any agreement Blacklist supports should be clear, specific, and aligned with kingdom growth, stability, and KvK readiness.
To be explicit: Blacklist is not a member or participant in the kingdom-wide “NAP 6” agreement — the current non-aggression pact among the top 6 alliances by power. This holds true even when Blacklist sits within the top 6. Ranking into that group does not opt Blacklist into the agreement or bind Blacklist to its terms. Blacklist speaks only for itself and will not be assumed into arrangements it has not directly agreed to.
Blacklist is not being rebuilt to destabilize other alliances, create unnecessary internal drama, or punish players who are simply trying to grow.
8. Kingdom combat posture
Blacklist supports clear kingdom rules that protect normal growth while still allowing real battle gameplay.
Blacklist is not being built to randomly burn kingdom members, harass farms, punish smaller players, or create internal drama. Members of other alliances should not feel they need to live permanently under a bubble because Blacklist exists.
At the same time, Blacklist is a battle alliance. We welcome challenge in the right settings.
Blacklist considers the following to be expected competitive gameplay:
- All Out
- Fort fights
- Sanctuary fights
- Outpost fights
- Agreed challenge windows
- Organized practice or scrimmage events
- Other kingdom-approved competitive events
In those settings, attacks on Blacklist cities, tiles, rallies, territory, or structures will be treated as expected gameplay. Blacklist will engage in kind.
Blacklist makes no claim to exclusive Sanctuaries, Forts, or Outposts and will compete for all of them. No objective is reserved for another alliance by rank, reputation, or informal understanding. Blacklist will contest these structures as normal competitive gameplay and expects the same in return.
Outside of those settings, Blacklist will respect kingdom rules, protected windows, and normal diplomacy. We are not inviting random daily burns, surprise TC hits, tile harassment, farm punishment, or bad-faith behavior.
9. Member protection
Blacklist will not encourage random drama or reckless aggression. But Blacklist will protect its members.
Aggression toward Blacklist members will be answered quickly and decisively. The response should be coordinated, controlled, and proportional to the situation — but Blacklist will not be a passive target.
10. Who Blacklist is for
Blacklist is for players who:
- Want organized KvK battle play
- Follow rally calls
- Use assigned heroes and troop ratios
- Are willing to coordinate on Discord
- Give accurate event commitments and participate regularly in major alliance and kingdom events
- Care more about effective battle execution than leaderboard optics
- Can disagree privately, then commit publicly once a call is made
- Want a serious battle role
- Are frustrated by disorganized fighting
- Want to help strengthen K1531
Blacklist is not for players who:
- Create chronic drama
- Demand titles before proving value
- Refuse calls
- Repeatedly commit to events and then fail to show without communication
- Only want status
- Want a full alliance tag without accepting battle standards
- Bring old alliance politics into the rebuild
- Want protection without responsibility
The bottom line
Blacklist is being rebuilt for players who want structure, discipline, and real battle execution. The goal is not just to create another alliance tag — it’s to build a serious war group that helps K1531 perform better in future KvK battles.
