Ok, So I think I'll actually give my thoughts on how this world might progress from now on because it feels like a lot of larger accounts will not be here in a few months time.
So I'll start with 2 month predictions like we have always done.
Tribes
1) IBF - As a member I am biased, but on a realistic outlook there is still not a large enough member count in other tribes to maintain an equal growth, we still have a lot of space to expand without large scale war, with large scale war we still, in my opinion, have the upper hand against other tribes.
2) Sins - Plenty of room to grow on spread rejects, whilst they won't necessarily be easy at first they are all so stranded that it won't take long to remove them. There will be enough to noble that these guys will grow at a very good rate, but once that is done they just have the potential of war on every front, I don't see them lasting a year but 2 months time they'll be strong.
3) ~RP~ (and ~RT~, combined would be larger than sins but it's like 5 times more members, so rank 3) - Slowly but surely removing the remnants of Serendipty and TWZ, they will have to move onto bigger things. They'll have some front to spreads only least doomed member, in Darth Doom. But Darth has only one option in my eyes, TWZ, no-one else will take him in. Once that is done they have 2 choices in my eyes really, war Up or war IBF. That'll be an interesting one to watch out for in the future.
4) Up - These guys are going to continue removing the northern rim, and I can see them happily jumping on some of the spread remnants as food. They don't have to war sins yet, but they may need to make a decision soon regarding their stance on the world. But I'd like to hope they stay as that independant splinter group, and fight both fronts they'll have, for the fun of the world.
5) TLS - They have definitely gotten stronger from all the changes in recent days. Spread rejects sit in close proximity, Divine Gaming is even more isolated than before for them to try and take down, the north is still looking weak for them to expand into. I honestly feel that in 5/6 months TLS could have earned a lot more respect from players, I know for sure though that they will "war" (maybe without declaration) sins. Because they don't like DivineGaming.
Players
1) Kiam - Easy room for growth now on wrightie, darth, should grow well.
2) Pulse - Same reasoning as Kiam.
3) Brrando - The monster will get overtaken because his life doesn't look as easy, but I'm still backing this guy to be rank 1 come the end of the world
4) Anthonymc - Plenty of room to grow for anthony, but don't see him outpacing Brrando.
5) Irregularity - We've been half active for the last week or so, but I feel like we'll be coming back online and start climbing the ranks again now, will be hard to keep up with all those with easy growth (and bloody brrando) but we'll take our rank 2 back at the end of the world :icon_wink:
Honourable mention to Spread now, the remnant players have been abandoned and back stabbed. They've endured tedium in a tribe that has had more problems and bad press than any I've seen on a UK server in a long time. They've had the leadership of Acki, Kiam, Darth and not prevailed. And now they can all sit there and stare at their positions and rightfully feel angry, some of these guys may as well hit delete, but maybe they'll fight back as hard as they can, but now it seems they're disbanding (as expected).
In all honesty, I hate all of you. All this splintering stuff has surely made this world, MY LAST ONE, take at least an extra 6 months to end than it would of.
