There is belittling and then there is calling someone out about lying about their story. I don't fault someone for trying to win but I do fault someone for taking the easy way out. If you must know the fact of things be ready for a long winded story during the NME v Loyal war and Tuzain informed the rest of leadership about inviting Solo and then of Solo going back to lead NME so they wouldn't fall apart, I advised him of a few things.
First I told warring one tribe or the other would cause both tribes to resent you but if you had to choose stick with your ally even if they did push every button the wrong way every chance they got. I also told him to keep Solo in the tribe and to have him choose the best fighters of NME that he wished to bring over and then war Loyal as Loyal was for sure the weaker of the two sides internally. People may forget but NME at this point really was at the point of collapse and everyone knew whichever side Growth chose to join would win that war. I was also not thrilled with our choice of recruitment from Loyal I much preferred the players that had proven themselves in combat numerous times such as lapakas and warpro (maybe they wouldn't have joined us but I would have rather had them). Also advised him even after inviting those that he needed to wait longer before having them join as their switch would cause the downfall of Loyal and then it would be a mad grab for villages that we didn't have great positioning for.
As you can see I warned him of everything that came to pass but Andrew calling him dirty is petty as Tuzain probably was more selfless when it came to a tribe than anyone else on this world. If anyone really had beef with Tuzain internally it was me I even had my privs removed out of the blue and the only explanation I received was so he could have his secret talks with NME (perhaps he had taken to it that I wasn't a fan of the merge). So yes NME may win this world but Tuzain's calls had more to do with that world win than anything NME had done so I guess in the end he can claim a world win.
Wall of text done thank you for your time.
When Growth joined the NME vs Loyal war, NME already had taken the advantage in the forever stats and were going through K44 like nobodies business.
Why would players like Lapakas or warpro want to join Growth, Growth had backstabbed their tribe, rimmed runningbullet one of their friends and had already recruited the NE corner of the world beside SS. If I were them I would sooner have gone down as loyal or joined the tribe(NME) that had more recently got the better of me through straight up fighting, proving to be a lot more capable than Growth. Where we knew everything about them and they knew everything about us. Granted some of the ex-loyal guys almost did opt for going down fighting but I promised them a proper run at Growth.
NME wasnt as close to a collapse as people may actually think. Dagan had to take time off/perhaps go permanently and it left myself and a player on the Manners account previously called jackie thinking we should be Dagans successor but we agreed on nothing. Since she had Dagan's account sit, she was the duke and I left to Growth. NME were to be led by her until the uproar began. Sure, up until then Loyal were really handing it to NME and once Jackie had no choice to place me as the Interim Duke and we started to turn the tides of the war in the way I wanted NME to do it.
I can honestly say as fact, I was never convinced by ending the world through a merger. Tuzain was willing to cull small members or people he didnt think were 'deserving' of winning. On the other hand I couldnt get on board with that and the 10 people who view the hidden forums at the time within NME all voted a big 'NO' to merging with Growth end game because we wouldnt chop half or more of NME, because they are friends, because they invested...some may not have given as much as others but everyone including people that were promised a spot in NME a long time ago will line up on the winning roster - each for their contribution to the world win. Including Olt/Andrew much to Growth dissatisfaction, just as final jab when you look back over w74 stats one day in the future - He will be sitting there grinning :lol:
NME were underhanded, Growth were underhanded. We just played you at your own game, least you thought it was your game...being puppeteers. Having a finger in every pie........CheckMate.
