Alone - Looks like a great groups of members, at least individually. Every member of their tribe past 1k points shows activity, however it will be a while before we see if teamwork is going to be a weakness of these players. Many top ranked players strive to be number one and therefore forget about the rest of their tribe. With regards to location, in my opinion they have the best out of all the tribes listed. Again in my opinion currently, there are no other tribes in the NE of the world that show any serious potential of making it anywhere this world. This is probably why Alone managed to pick up a few extra skilled players through recruitment. I predict these guys to dominate the NE without too much difficulty before attempting to spread into new territories.
BwB - Now my forum name completely reveals who I am in game, so before you read this bwb, please be aware that I am just a co player on the account and not the leader himself. I may or may not share the same opinion as the tribal leadership.
In my opinion they look dangerous based on their spread, player base and activity. However, I severely question this tribes leadership and whether they have what it takes to make it as a tribe. I question their recruitment process as I know players there who lack skill, experience and the patience to play past start up. A lack of these 3 things will ruin a tribe. Secondly, the way they have dealt with the whole artgame situation has not been very good. From what I have read, heard and spoke to, it appears that artgame will continue to thrive and bwb continue to stay quiet and allow this to happen. This tribe has the potential to do something, however if they are going to succeed, the leadership need to prove my points wrong. (Shouldn't be too hard to do.)
Blue - These guys baffle me. I've not seen a family tribe this big and this high ranked for many worlds. The worst thing that surprises me, is that you have some skilled players that could actually form a great tribe if you released the dead weight. The other surprise, is that considering the skill of some players and particularly leadership, why are you in a family tribe such as this? You must be trolling us all. Seriously though, if you cut the dead weight and created a core group, you could give bWb a battle for the NW. Right now you are just food and shall hence forth be called food when you are marked on my map. Take my advice if you want to live.
Blood / Blame / whatever else you been called - Firstly, find a name and stick with it please. Not cool.
In all seriousness, I am not entirely sure whether these players will play after they rim Two. (if that war actually happens.) So I do not predict them to win the world. I do expect at least some of their players to be in that final fight, but in a different tribe. I do not know a whole lot about there plans but I do know they have a bunch of skilled players and they will be difficult to beat if they do stay.
Two - Location with Blood was set up purposely for a war. Shayd, you asked for it, you got it and you will be rimmed. I am not backing blood because I am friends with any of them, or because of your lack of skill but I simply believe that they have the better group of players for a war at the stage of the game that I predict it will occur. If you two tribes both secured half a world each, I believe that the outcome might be a little tighter. Right now, you guys look as though you will be nobled by other tribes before you yourselves make it to nobles. Sorry for being a little harsh. No offense meant, hopefully none taken.
Cereal - W75 winners almost indefinitely with some w75 losers in there too I believe. W79 winners? I highly doubt it. 75 looked pretty dull to say the least. I can see you making it pretty far in this world too though. Especially if you make it to the end of W75 and are still here. You will gather a few more 75 Winners to come co you all and you will create a group of highly active and skilled accounts. You're location sets up an interesting fight with Tact (providing you don't merge) for winner of the SW.
.Tact. - From what I have heard through rumours, Hippo quit. Leaving you without your best. Makes you a little weaker but I suspect you all will expand nicely once nobles come around. Your spread is good but fighting Cereal will be a tough one. I see you guys failing in the future because of this and many of you will be forced to the try again next world.
A point to make about the map that may offer some interest - All of these tribes look somewhat of a premade considering none of them have any influence in the core. I think that whoever makes it their and holds it first has the upper hand in the future depending on which way the world works out. Things change drastically all the time in TW and no world is straight forward, but I believe that at least a couple of these, will still be around towards the mid-stage of the world and perhaps have a shot at winning.
Disclaimer: I am but a mere co player in this world and my opinions may or may not be the same as the others on this account or tribe. Only doing the tribes that I feel are worth my time reviewing. Technically not a top 20 discussion, but don't flame me. I did not rate my own tribe, not because it is my own tribe but because I they are not worth my time :icon_twisted:.
