The troops are walking.

You are not.

Alliance chat is the only thing that still moves.

🚶 The Long Walk

Gathering takes a march. You pick a Resource Plot, send troops, and then you wait.

People fill that wait in different ways. One player opens another screen. Another just stares at the marching line.

This part is habit, not a system rule.

📣 Rally Ping Hits

Then Alliance chat lights up. Rally.

Now you actually have a decision. Keep the gather going. Recall and join. Or finish this Resource Plot and show up late.

None of those is an official correct play. They are three taps.

🔁 Recall Or Stay

The trap is pretending you can do both.

Ignore the Rally and the gather finishes while you miss the fight. Recall mid-walk and you spent a march on nothing. Community experience, not a timer.

I join when I can still see room in the Rally. I stay on the Resource Plot when the ping reads like "fill if you can" and I am almost there.

When a Rally ping hits mid-gather, what do you actually do?

🅰️ Keep gathering and skip the Rally 🅱️ Recall and join the Rally 🅲 Finish this Resource Plot, then join

Vote in the comments. Mention whether you tell the Rally lead, or just vanish off the marching line.
