Honestly , I think the topic congratulating the Doggies may have run it's course ( they did say thank you ) and I fear they have had about as much congratulations as they can stand for now.
So, I just thought I would give a slightly more relevant title and a place where this worlds general bitchiness might have some focus.
At least, this is the general direction of where I hope this conversation might go ....
My apologises beforehand, for a lack of screenies and pwetty pictures for those that seem to have such short memories but let me try and re-cap as best I can and of course, I am open to any corrections.
Not so long ago, the world had a short list of 5 top tribes. Any of which with the right diplomacy and recruitment policy could have had a realistic shot at winning this world's title of champions, I think it would be fair to say.
Two of these top 5 GO and Honey , both took severe beatings at the hands of the others and some strange diplomatic moves saw Dogs taking in the remnants of both, in what with hindsight, could be considered either poor diplomacy or recruitment choices, or perhaps a bit of both. Regardless of that, I personally would have preferred to see Dogs compete to noble as many of those Go/Honey villages as possible which in turn would mean they might have had room to also attempt a recruitment drive to actually see a closer and more exciting finish to the merge war that I think UK8 shall be remembered for , though only remembered for a very very short length of time.:icon_neutral:
The general consensus seems to be that Dogs moved too quickly to recruit, recruited poorly when they did and have fallen well short of the 50 mill. pt. winning post as a consequence.
I am certainly not expecting any brownie points for 20/20 vision that is only good, looking backwards. Dogs leadership did what they thought was best for the tribe and whatever each of our personal opinions on tribe sizes the tribe limit is a variable of each world and helps make strategic recruitment a legitimate tactic and is done by all at certain times and on a "mass" scale, all too frequently.
On the other side of this 2 headed coin, we have the FATE/W1nge alliance that has proven solid, bided it's time and shown the rest of us how a merge war should be fought and won. It seems their tortoise and hare analogy is very apt on this occasion.
Arguably the 2 top tribes on the world (Dogs may bark at this but it is again, just my opinion) seemed to have everything going their way they were beginning to look as if they would forge ahead strongly together and eliminate any last vestiges of resistance to their domination(sorta like the true Borg). :icon_twisted: Lately, I had started looking forward to when they would entertain those of us that would probably have been eliminated along the way with a Battle Royale to bring a fitting end to what has been up to this stage a very small(<<<N.B. point), yet fun world! Alas, it seems this is not to be.
"What has happened, to this fitting end?" you may ask.
With a moment of blinding insight the best strategy these 2 top tribes can envisage is to make this small world, even smaller. Apparently the pro.'s and l33t players on UK8 in their infinite wisdom have chosen not only to merge the 2 top tribes but also many of those acc's so every player who was a member of either, is a winner.
I do have a couple of questions for those who were FATE members? ... well those who haven't been eliminated lately, I suppose.
'Are the members of FATE happy to be remembered as the lap-dogs W1nge gave a bone to (abiet a bone stolen from the bigger Doggies) in order to win the world?' (Yes , we do know the word fate is in the new title ... so bone + scooby snack, was the full price of selling the world out)
Were/are the FATE players so afraid of a final showdown with members preferring to delete their acc's rather than build a tribe to compete with W1nge once the alliance would have tag-teamed Dogs out of existance?
By all means, point to your conquers as the merge progresses and tell us the how the ODA using up the troops from those internals are the secret to you success and that 3-way co-played acc's that have never needed co.'s before are just a sensible consolidation. :icon_rolleyes:
Tell us the reason your eliminating these players acc.'s is so the bigger 1's can now by covered 24/7 to cope with the huge amounts of pressure Dogs have been putting you all under.:icon_redface:
Tell us how you won the world by being so pro. and that we should all know by now that activity is the new pro.:icon_confused:
I look forward to seeing who can do it without choking on the words!
Here's the rub, there is a very big difference between finishing the world and winning and unfortunately it seems you are all in too much of a hurry to bother with winning so we can all go and play on UK11!
Finally, just in case this post is lacking a little spice and in a shameless attempt to lure readers away from congratulating the Doggies any further I would like to answer LOB here instead of there.
