lol most of the people popping up and talking smack are the Deceit/BMF rejects that didn't make the cut to get in one of the tribes. xD such as that one guy... from Chex! and others xD
from an Unbiased Point of View, I say Deceit and VLN have the upper hand at this moment in time, as their sheer size and ability to quickly coordinate and execute largescale Ops on large players. They show a great deal of precision when selecting who to take out, take in, and take down. (take down being catting, while take out being ennobling)
First, Blotter was in BMF, but quit...not a reject.
Kevin, knowing them as I do, they would never want to join.
Therefore, they're not rejects.
Blotter, he could be biased, being ex-BMF, however, Kevin, would be unbiased, and he has a point that, at least the forums, are currently stagnated. The world itself, does have plenty of life.
You, however, are not unbiased, because you are in *VLN* which is working with Deceit.
That means, despite I agree, there is great skill in Deceit, it is still biased.
I think that Deceit have the obvious advantage, in amount villages, and therefore, potential for extra troops to be available.
BMF too however, also have suberb skill and, which of course is also biased, can also execute large operations. BMF have also come the closest to having a large scale war, and did make a large series of conquers before the tribe was mostly banned. They are also currently top in ODD, which could lead to suggest their greater ability in defending.
But then, like I said, my view is biased too, and we can't really know what will happen, which is why it is exciting to know that this will all be shown in the final war of the world, despite it being quite far away.
