You guys ever thought that Knights might be some clueless 14 year old, that doesn't have a clue what he's doing here?
But really Knights, join an alliance, learn the ropes and don't try your own thing, when you know what you're doing and have some type of member base, then you can try...and even then, your alliance still not succeed, I'm afraid to say.
Also, there's a safe way of dealing with the trolls and that is called keeping your head down and not feeding them. :)
