Welcome to The Orcs Army home page.
************************************************
Orcs Army is one of the best teams on Gameknot and we have succeeded in doing this by respecting our fellow teams and their players. We also have some of the best players on Gameknot within their respective category (1200, 1300 etc). Through the hard work of the players in our team we manage to regularly challenge for top spot in the Team Ladder!
************************************************
So far this year we have been at rank one 82 times during 2008.
In 2007 we were top 53 times during the year.
***********************************************
As a Captain I recognize that the team needs several more honest and dedicated players to join us so DON'T HESITATE TO APPLY TO JOIN!

Team History:

globus was the team founder, but transferred the captaincy to thejim. Unfortunately, for unseen events, thejim has not been seen on Gameknot for some time. Everybody on our team wishes him all the best and are thoughts are with him!

jonny1988 took over the captaincy after thejim left, and in July 2008 transferred the captaincy to me, nascar24. jonny1988 left the team on August 17th, 2008. The position of co-captain was filled by redrumron on August 25th 2008.

Orcs Army recently reached its lowest point in the team ladder since June 2007. redrumron and I succeeded in bringing this team back to the top on November 18th, 2008, and we are committed to keeping the great Orcs Army at the top of the ladder.
