ROFL laughing. Are you being serious ?
You're complaining that half of a tribe as it gets near the end of the world have been recruited since the tribe was founded ? Okay - 3-4 of those on the list were recruited from people who played well and whose tribes we were defeating, but the other 90% were from allied tribes who wanted to 'move up' - and we carried on working with the remainder of those tribes afterwards.
From a world that started in mid-May 2015 you've included players who joined in June. Errr.. it's now late January - 2016. I'm sorry that the tribe hasn't been able to maintain every member that started with us, but there is such a thing as real life and no-one signs a contract to play for a whole year.
To call us a huge hugged tribe is ridiculous - we've just been a group of team players who have worked together to take over the world as we set out to do, having a good time and making friends as we go. You did well on the old problemmatic squirrel account (renamed to sixpointer1), but working together we kept the pressure up and kept taking villages. The attacks you sent were the first I'd had in months and that was the problem - Vodka kept the initiative throughout and maintained the attacks, whereas Flair defended.
Glad you enjoyed your stint - come back again and keep it interesting or see you on another world (mail me in-game), but let's have no sour grapes please.
I'm sorry, you say that was in the past but of course it is. That's how it has affected the future, both SCO and Vodka tried to buy out other tribes whilst fighting eachother. If AOL, OHM and others stayed independent then the world would have taken a different course. if Flair had joined either side which we were pressured into on one side (SCO) and asked to on the other (Vodka) then the world would have changed.
You can't say that because you picked up players in the past it does not matter. The fact is that over half your tribe are players that have come from tribes that you chose to bring in instead of fight against you. Like I said it is a tactic and I never said anything foul towards it, just that you cannot deny doing it.
As for your mention of "Vodka kept the initiative" that was simply because your players stayed on their accounts.

You see my point here? The initiative you speak of was simply that your guys played. Ours quit because RL reasons or because their friends had. It's how the game goes and I accept that but you you also need to accept that you never actually broke through an active player's frontline.. The best you did was take an exterior cluster off me in an op and even then it was only 5/6 villages after 3 days of constant bombardment.
