This is making me want to come back, just so I can get involved in these politics again. That's been my favorite part of this game since the beginning.
Personally, I think LWS should split from ATEN , not ATEN stayed away from LWS. I mean, LWS is the result of the biggest war in this world's history. The result of a loss that could have been a win. Now to befriend ATEN without an immediate turn around and stab in the back is instead a complete stab in the back to what the south-western land once stood for. Can someone give me a list of who leads each tribe now days?
REB have remained consistent and honorable. I say that knowing HOT's history, because HOT died, as TW died, with the biggest war in the world's history. In my mind, REB is the birth of MPX onto the world stage, picking up remnants of HOT. LWS is the phoenix from the ashes of TW. ATEN is the same face, merely wearing different suits. Now that they too have compromised their name, they have entered a different era.
There is rarely a tribe left unrepresented these days.
