Grettings citizens of w5 forums. I am Reduaram, and in this thread I will try to show you why Why? is not the elite and insanely skillful tribe that they would like us to think they are.
But first, I would like to take this time to reveal the account that I have been playing. And yes, the rumours are true. I am playing the Via Dolorosa account. I have never had a co-player, and I only had a sitter for the first couple of weeks (A big thanks to the guys playing the Who are you account).
Anyway, as an entrée, I would like to address the recent leaving thread created by n00bek, one of Why?'s more vocal members on these forums.
Another thing is that he says this world requires no skill. Well, he is right, if you are mostly nobling barbarians. In any case, this world requires a slightly different skill set to other worlds, a skill set that it sounds like n00bek did not have... because when a player complains about a world while quitting, it is generally a form of excuse.
He also complains about low morale... but that is a problem in any world when you try to attack players much much smaller than you. So I am wondering why n00bek is trying to noble tiny players, and when failing that, nobles barbarian villages.
Besides, he has players near him that even I have decent morale against. But maybe he is just afraid of them... even despite his next comments.
So a Why? member clearly shows his 'holier than thou' attitude towards the rest of us. Obviously when anyone else nobles a barbarian village, it is 'farm-munching', and when he does it, it is just good strategy. Accused, tried, and found guilty of hypocritism. Recommended sentence, ridicule and mockery. But, no time to linger and carry out his sentence now. We must advance to the main dish, the reason I think Why? do not really deserve their rank 1 spot.
So, Why? is currently the best tribe in the world. But how did they get there? By crushing their enemies? Perhaps. By outgrowing the rest of the world? Maybe. There are probably a number of reasons for Why?'s apparent success, but I think that the most influential reason is that they have merged and recruited their way to the top.
Sure, there are a number of Why's original members in the top 20, but there are also a number of those that they recruited along the way. When their pressure on sWARm caused it to disband, Why? was pretty quick to snatch up thier top players. So let's take a look at some of Why?'s imports.
Sure, they made sWARm disband and they can pat themselves on the back for being top in the world until their backs and hands ache, but it is a pretty hollow achievement. They only half did the job. They then gave in to rank and pointwhoring and took sWARm's high ranking members in, instead of taking them out.
So when I look at Why? now, I just see a tribe that is rank 1 because of their recruitment policy. And this is the question that I have on my mind... Why does Why?, who is apparently dominating w5, have to recruit from their enemies instead of rimming them. Is it fear of losing the top spot? Love of points and ranks? Well, whatever it is, it isn't working well for them because. Now Why? has the problem that their members are getting bored and starting to quit. And I agree, I would probably leave a tribe that recruits like that.
Anyway, I think that if they want excitement, they should stop nobling barbarian villages (aprox 50% so far) and start taking out some decent enemies. Try take out EwaR. Oh, but wait. I forgot that you have nobled enough barbarians so that you have the low morale excuse...
So there it is. Why? is really just another mass-recruiting tribe. The only difference between them and most other tribes in the world is that they mass-recruit points instead of members. And my final comment/question about their recruitment is:
EDIT FOR PART TWO
So, new developments lately. I just checked Why?'s recent tribal changes, and noticed that there have been several additions since I gathered my initial data for this thread. So, lets take a look, shall we?
And Monty tries to tell me that they don't hunt out high ranked players... I am finding that harder and harder to believe, especially when kingfarrow tells me that he was asked to join the tribe. Although, I will post his mail here so you guys can read...
Anyway, it seems that I have raised a bit of an issue within Why? (or maybe it was there previously), because MontyPython was worried enough to tell his tribe this:
Yet, let's have a look at the time of this post compared to when thedave joined the tribe. I find it rather interesting.
In addition, they recruited 5 oClock Sunset after MontyPython told his tribe that they were "NOT recruiting any more".
So, Monty, just answer this question for me please, because your credibility might be on the line...
But first, I would like to take this time to reveal the account that I have been playing. And yes, the rumours are true. I am playing the Via Dolorosa account. I have never had a co-player, and I only had a sitter for the first couple of weeks (A big thanks to the guys playing the Who are you account).
Anyway, as an entrée, I would like to address the recent leaving thread created by n00bek, one of Why?'s more vocal members on these forums.
You know, out of n00bek's nine conquers at this stage, six were abandoned, and five of those were under 4k points. So what gives him the right to complain about farm-munchers? Hypocrite much?n00bek said:No ms removes the little amount of skill that could be used, and having 7k barbs ultimately removes the advantages of nobling other players. Consequently the world is full of farm-munchers who have never sent an axe towards another player in their life. Growing barbs in general I dislike, but up to 2k or so is acceptable. However, 7k is utterly ridiculous. It has ended up going like this: noobs turtle, noble farms, turtle, noble farms. This, coupled with the low morale makes it almost impossible to take their villages without losing stupid amounts of offense. Plus, it makes really awful players look good.
/rant over.
Another thing is that he says this world requires no skill. Well, he is right, if you are mostly nobling barbarians. In any case, this world requires a slightly different skill set to other worlds, a skill set that it sounds like n00bek did not have... because when a player complains about a world while quitting, it is generally a form of excuse.
He also complains about low morale... but that is a problem in any world when you try to attack players much much smaller than you. So I am wondering why n00bek is trying to noble tiny players, and when failing that, nobles barbarian villages.
Besides, he has players near him that even I have decent morale against. But maybe he is just afraid of them... even despite his next comments.
And yet you keep nobling barbarian villages. Sad. Read down farther for my explaination for why you apparently dominate.n00bek said:I consider the world to be over already, nobody can remove us from top spot. The coalition fell apart before sending an attack. We own 3 of the 4 core continents. We have more villages, more points, and more OD than any other tribe. We have 8 of the top 10. We win. Simples.
Rage quit = fail. Good luck on other worlds n00bek, you will probably need it.n00bek said:My account will remain active, but it won't be me playing. I am handing the account over to somebody. Good luck to Why?, though they dont need it, and will probably quit soon anyway due to mass boredom on this boring, turtle-noobing world.
So a Why? member clearly shows his 'holier than thou' attitude towards the rest of us. Obviously when anyone else nobles a barbarian village, it is 'farm-munching', and when he does it, it is just good strategy. Accused, tried, and found guilty of hypocritism.

Sure, they made sWARm disband and they can pat themselves on the back for being top in the world until their backs and hands ache, but it is a pretty hollow achievement. They only half did the job. They then gave in to rank and pointwhoring and took sWARm's high ranking members in, instead of taking them out.
So when I look at Why? now, I just see a tribe that is rank 1 because of their recruitment policy. And this is the question that I have on my mind... Why does Why?, who is apparently dominating w5, have to recruit from their enemies instead of rimming them. Is it fear of losing the top spot? Love of points and ranks? Well, whatever it is, it isn't working well for them because. Now Why? has the problem that their members are getting bored and starting to quit. And I agree, I would probably leave a tribe that recruits like that.
Anyway, I think that if they want excitement, they should stop nobling barbarian villages (aprox 50% so far) and start taking out some decent enemies. Try take out EwaR. Oh, but wait. I forgot that you have nobled enough barbarians so that you have the low morale excuse...
So there it is. Why? is really just another mass-recruiting tribe. The only difference between them and most other tribes in the world is that they mass-recruit points instead of members. And my final comment/question about their recruitment is:
EDIT FOR PART TWO
So, new developments lately. I just checked Why?'s recent tribal changes, and noticed that there have been several additions since I gathered my initial data for this thread. So, lets take a look, shall we?

And Monty tries to tell me that they don't hunt out high ranked players... I am finding that harder and harder to believe, especially when kingfarrow tells me that he was asked to join the tribe. Although, I will post his mail here so you guys can read...
Obviously, when he wasn't ranked very high, his recruitment mail was ignored. Then, when he is top 20... BAM! They want him!kingfarrow today at 10:27 said:i did ask them wen i was in my first tribe LGA but didnt ear nuffing bk,an then i got a mail from that menber bout mabey joing so dunno if its cuz i asked all them weeks ago or wat mate
Anyway, it seems that I have raised a bit of an issue within Why? (or maybe it was there previously), because MontyPython was worried enough to tell his tribe this:
MontyPython on 20.07. at 23:29 said:A lot of you are worried about recruitment. We are NOT recruiting any more. If anything, member levels will drop. It's time to kick ass, not limit the ass kicking.
Yet, let's have a look at the time of this post compared to when thedave joined the tribe. I find it rather interesting.
thedave's join date said:21st July 2010 - 02:36:30
In addition, they recruited 5 oClock Sunset after MontyPython told his tribe that they were "NOT recruiting any more".
So, Monty, just answer this question for me please, because your credibility might be on the line...
