This is my first time ever posting on the externals but I feel it is necessary to present my experience of Craig and Dan on the Steamtrain Account, someone from their own tribe.
They took over a lovely attacking account that had been set up to hit the players in Mask/Help especially D1. The original owner told me it was set up to hit D1.
At the start things went well and we got on fine, in fact I thought they were good fun.
Unfortunately early days they refused to take part in a tribe wide op as had their own op organised a few days later. A lot of pressure was put on them to take part in this tribe wide attack in some form but it was a straight “no”.
Yes, we refused to participate in the D1 op, as you have said we already had plans. Not to mention, your 'ops' were predictable, as hitting D1 tribe-wide became a ritual with little to no success.
They organised a number of ops against Help all on Olivenb. Their first Op went well. Interestingly they got considerably less ODA than Davelongshanks in these ops even thought they were a much bigger account.
I didn't know the plan of attacking was to kill your own troops? Gaining high ODA means you're doing it wrong, considering we had the least ODA and the most takes during that OP, I'd call that a success?
For the full time in the tribe they continued to refuse to hit enemies of the tribe in Help other than Olivenb. Always having great excuses as why could not hit.
You were well aware that we were vulnerable on 3 fronts. When we took over the account there were enemies surrounding us, enemies between us, is account safety not a priority?
Made friends in the enemy tribe, which in itself is fine as the majority of the enemy tribe were decent guys and gals. Then seemed to totally take on board everything enemy said about XpRd and believe every word. As we all know each tribe slags of the enemy as that is part of the game but we also know that this slagging is just that. In the case of Craig and Dan they seemed to believe every word said by the enemy and totally aligned themselves to Help. Including being told and believing that they were the best players in XpRd.
We made friends with people in the enemy tribe? Well, yes.. It's a game, is it wrong to socialise? We were also asked to join the tribe several times, in which we declined due to our loyalty, which you unfortunately seem to lack. As for being the "best player", there is no "best player" in tribal wars, it's all statistics and what you do with what you have, though you can't deny we done a fine job of kick starting a dead account.
Never got involved in
any other tribe ops on Help
Never send D to players in need.
Baardi - We never sent Baardi def for one simple reason. He agreed a few times to join ops, then in the last minute would back out because it "wasn't 100%", let's be honest... What is 100% in tribal wars? Why should I help a player that doesn't help himself.
Got on Skype to abuse players in their own tribe because they thought said players were rubbish.
That is somewhat untrue, although we did argue on Skype we didn't login with that sole intention as you're trying to put it
Abused anyone who did not agree with them on Skype, mail and the Tribe Forum. Especially if the player wanted them to attack enemy players. It is this behaviour I found particularly offensive.
Mostly Baardi again, as for the above reasons.
Set a sitter outside the tribe knowing it was against the tribe rules.
That I'll admit, but the 'outside sitter' was tribeless, a friend and trustworthy.
Sent an attack at their own tribe mate in anger.
That is untrue, we sent long range nobles before the village was claimed, therefore had no control over the matter.
Sent cats to villages after players from their own tribe had claimed these villages.
That is a load of crap^
They wanted to fight head to head with a player in their own tribe over a disagreement. If these players did go head to head it would have hugely delayed XpRd winning the world.
That's true, we even mentioned it above Andy was being an bum, and trying to call us shit... But soon backed down after I gave the invitations lolz
The very first attacks they sent at Help other than Olivenb were when the word went out these players had hit delete. When word came that one of these players may not have quit they removed their claims on same player.
Do tell me, what player is this?
Got very little i.e. close to zero ODA on Olivenb in late days when other players were still getting ODA hitting him.
Again, what does ODA prove? Attacking isn't about killing your own troops, it's about outsmarting them. Although we're all too aware of your brute force method, which seems to be the only tactic you know.
Had many local deals with players around him from other tribes. Which meant twice ,that I know of, telling players not to him these individuals.
Two friends that were on my backline, first of all it way my K, second of all they were small players, it didn't make a difference end game did it?
Look through their stats and see the takes that this account got from others. They did hit a few small rim players but never took on anyone in Help other than Olivenb until the enemy accounts hit delete. No decent ODA and most ODD from rim players quitting and suiciding all their troops, many during night bonus. Never hit by Help.
Olivenb was the priority because we planned to flank D1, it's funny how you have a selective memory all of a sudden, but then again you are an old lady hehe. Never hit by help? Oh right, so the 5M defender of the day achievement I just pulled out of my bum, correct?
In summary not team players. In fact these guys were the worse people I was ever in a tribe with ......
