If you guys enjoyed the video consider joining as a youtube member you get early access to videos, emojis () and my eternal undying love (worthless) Keep In mind guys, theres no beef with anyone in the video, or atleast I hope not. We're all playing a game here and everyone understood how these events go, so theres not really any hurt feelings I also like to stream, so follow me there if you want............www.twitch.tv/trafalgar_alpha If you want more context on the video and allat theres this document: docs.google.com/document/d/1_dTFRsbhsJe6Aub_4ijwzSSw34Kt0sGIm_v9ZvAzZ74/edit?usp=sharing
This video genuinely feels like a piece about Alexander and the wars of the Diadohi and Napoleon. You have a powerful political figure who establishes a complete hegemony through the cult of personality, and once the cult of personality is removed the most powerful members of the court want a piece. PNN, Arkholics and Locust are imo the Corinthian league, where they get completely outmaneuvered in the end. Wayfarers are clearly Egypt here, just standing by the side, playing the long game, then buttfucking everyone. Trafalgar is Napoleon, hollowing out the National assembly until he literally has all the power. This had so many historical parallels it's crazy.
@@gaspermilost2723 Machiavelli would be proud. But yeah assuming his video is totally genuine - people are people. The divide and conquer strategy continues to work in the exact same way it did 2000 years ago, parallels are not surprising.
THIS WAS WAY BETTER! then the last medieval 100 guy ark thing withh Mr.smartguy. you didnt get screwed over, the admins werent controlling, And you completed the mission! This was a cool event!
My sweet christ you do not know how satisfying it was to see you use historical precedent to expertly navigate this shit. Knowledge of history will always be a great boon.
I swear, all this video is missing is just those cutaways where an old historian in glasses in a chair says something like: "So Trafalgar knew that his reign is upheld by the authority of the IPF which in turn revolved around his alignment, which granted him practically, absolute control of the leadership of the realm..." with some stock footage of the senatorial debates in the background.
27:20 was funny as hell. Got bored and started a shooting. He committed a warcrime. My guy shot rockets in what was basically a UN meeting. I fucking love this guy’s content. Long live the goopers.
This is the single most beautiful video ive ever seen political drama wars aliances drama a cult of personality a almost unreal rize and a just as quick painful fall what a fucking legend
People notice and appreciate you putting the little walkie talkie noises and muffling the music while underwater, these are some of the only videos that are worth watching with my eyes instead of just listening to
your content is absolutely top tier. the concept of your videos are inherently engaging (fell in love with the channel and subbed after the guerilla warfare vid), your editing skills are elite (how the music and game sound are balanced depending on what's happening), and your narrative ability is impeccable. you're one of my favourite channels, and I don't even play Ark much at all. keep up the great work, you're gonna go far, my man
I was also recommended the guerilla warfare vid in my feed and that’s how I became an avid viewer. Trafs vids from about 2 years ago where he does his primitive server series is a lot of fun, and it shows how he got so good with his current videos (in editing, narration and gameplay)
Considering this was role playing, I can applaud Albert and the Goopers actually taking over the server. Although I will say after watching Mr Smart Guy video, what happened to Shoulder Guy was just the one unjust thing. You may have been the rabid dogs, but the ipf were the true villain letting you off your leashes.
Huge fan of the political intrigue in this one, definitely my favorite so far! Excellent power plays, I love that you took inspiration from historical figures
This dude is a strategic genius. I was entertained by the fights, sure, but the political manipulation is expertly done. The fallout from the raid on the blood dragons was handled extremely well. He even used humor to defuse the situation a bit and seem more chill and honest, doing a backflip and joking about Pallander's brain damage.
What really elevated this video for me was when you genuinely started making comparisons to Napoleon, The man who knows his history and his ambition is a man I respect lmao
I have not played Ark in around 5 years, and I don't have enough free time anymore at this point in my life, but I still really enjoy experiencing the game vicariously by watching your channel. Good stuff, keep it up!
Literally like some of the best content I’ve ever seen on yt. The narration the action the politics/drama the strategies my gosh dude your ark vids are out of this world good. Peak content fr.
Okay, so I’ve watched a few of your videos already and I liked them. However, this video cemented my love for this channel. Please keep doing stuff like this; literally cant get enough of it.
Finally getting the subscribers and views you’ve deserved a looooong time ago already. Was watching you since the beginner server series back in the days and commented on many videos, that you are totally underrated. Seems like a happy end! I’m very happy for you, keep the good work up bro! You deserved it!!!!!
Dude, I was wondering why the upload was taking so long until I see it is 46 minutes of pure entertainment, meticulously edited since you even added the radio effects when Blood Dragon attacked, this type of editing is just delightful to watch.
I have never heard of "Trafalgar" in my life until in the last like 2 days I discover this channel, the city and the pollster. It wasn't an algorithm either most of them are from places I've heard of before. It's one of those weird things that make you feel like you're in the Matrix.
Holy shit. This is the best Ark video I’ve ever seen. It proves that the game is more than that, it’s a microcosm of human ingenuity, strategy, and spirit. What an epic video to be enjoyed and studied for years to come.
That was honestly one of your best videos yet man, it was really impressive in both your actions during the event and the editing, Ik it’s glazing but this was just really really fun to watch and its really cool to watch you continue to refine this content.
These type of videos of you are literally my favorite. The historic knowledge and war strategies thrown in are literally the cherry on top for me. Please continue doing videos like these thank you!
Bro these are the ARK videos I'm tryna watch. As a fellow history autist, I love all the strategy and references. These events seem sooooooo fckn fun when you have a leader that knows what they're doing. Keep it up!
Love it man, keep up the good work. Used to love ark and when I found your content I won’t say it reignited my passion but I stick around bc you’re stuff cracks me up.
Brilliantly edited and narrated. Masterfully planned and executed strategy. I pity the poor survivors in the apocalyptic wasteland you inherit and rule over in the future.

Literally my favourite video of yours, do more. You are insane if you think we will ever say no to political intrigues that result in mass suffering for our entertainment. Excellent execution and narrative, great work. Would totally watch you become a leader of a whole Empire all over again.

This video is so good. I love the political games. Nice to see that it can happen in an event that normally is total chaos and war. The video of the original event is great but this one is even better, seeing your thought process is very entertaining. The parallels to history are very much here and your knowledge of them makes you very powerful. And then all falls apart when you went to work hahaha
I just wanted to let you know that you are by far my favourite content creator, i have been watching since the video of you and the group you were with trapping a crystal wyvern with two rafts then killing both the wyvern and the guy on it ❤❤❤
Just want to clarify you did Peen team dirty we wiped the ones that attacked us and moved in with Apex Dawn as we saw you wiping out all the Coalition members
Dude that Battlefield reference was GOLD! So many times that ship has joined my team to lay waste and the fact even before you said it i thought of that, i fuckin love it
Love your videos They're funny, very well made, and interesting to see thru. Found you through the civilization video and been watching everything since!
Traf, this is the best video you've ever made. I love every single one of your videos, but this one mixes action and political shenanigans PERFECTLY. Keep up the amazing content. The Buttsacklings approve.
Well done! I watched the Mr smart guy video and hated your group for the whole video and immediately came here for more content on the matter and gained a new respect for your villainy. Quite entertaining.

i didn’t know ark was a political game
Always has been… you should see the amount of political and racial bs that I gotta read in global chat
Well it is owned by the CCP afterall
It can if you try hard enough
@Zawafrog ( this comment was deleted I DONT CARE ) ofcourse it's political, the ccp own the game
You’ve never played official then. Ark politics are why I even played ASA, the game itself is trash compared to ASE. Dead asf.
You’re the one that will be able to craft these events in a way that truly captures an interesting and complex aspect of human sociological nature.
i love how you dont even hesitate to swear, youre real and dont care about monetization or shit. respect and i always watch ur vids.
