high horse?
I seem to remember me making a humerous bit of pnp about masks exploits of nwo, designed to entertain all parties and w13 alike, and I was met with critisms of mask when since begining our conflicts of being 1 fifth of the enemies size have gone from strength to strength and are now showing our class against nwo.
I was on the receiving end of a lot of firms assaults yet held strong knowing our team ethics would pay off, I'm now prowd of the fact mask has gone from being a rim tribe with late starters no direction and the underdog to all tribes on w13 to becoming a contender in the big game and imo the best show of teamwork from any tribe this world has seen, we have never gone into a war with more firepower but our working together imo is second to non.
I haven't compared mask and help nor critised asside from my defending of mask and my jokes after I read no less than 5 "why does everyone flame help" posts.
but as you so kindly decided to jump on the flame mask bandwagon when all we have done is fight a good fight and try entertain, ill happily answer your critisms and fairly compare our tribes.
a/ we were initially war'd by firm, no planning they just declared and fired at a tribe 1/5 of thier size, nwo broke off and through perserverring we broke firm and got the better of then, we were still in direct conflict with firm many active skirmishes happening at which point nwo recruited our enemies, we ended a 48hr nap which means thier was no surprise hit, and declared war with all the ex firm tce and nwo.
we were declared upon and the fighting never really stopped just the nwo boys took a break to reform and continue the skirmish, so I refute any so called prepare time, we have been fighting the same people ever since firm declared on us before the new year.
b/ because help hug thier neighbours is thier mistake, more to the point decent members behind enemy lines are great they cause all kinds of problems and force the enemy to waste a lot of def pre stacking, if anything this is a advantage.
c/ actualy we have aditional wars of every front except our extreme east, also our frontline is basically a solid line right across the map, the mask/nwo frontline is bigger than any other tribes borders, I imagine the surface are of just our nwo frontline is larger than all of helps war zones, and that's not to mention we are at war with tribes on all sides except our extreme east.
as for your more direct comparison mask is not 20 pro's we never have had the member base, what we do have is 20 players who work solid as a team, backed up by around 8 frontline players who are second to non. I'd go as far as saying pound for pound our frontline would beat any tribes top players.
I didn't put mask on a high horse, we merely document our achievements on the forum and add in a bit of banter, we are proud of where we are going so I will passionately defend that.
this all spurned from a help slur, you guys complain about being flamed all the time, have you heard of the saying people in glass houses shouldn't throw bricks?
