Even with the TCR war, if that's what you call it, Valour has been untested until now. The tribe has been built up through merges and mass recruitments (that's what I call it). There has been no selective thinning of leadership or players through pressures of a war. What the tribe really is is a gathering of couch potatoes.
Can some accounts there fight? Definitely! Can they function properly as a tribe? Most likely not.
If Valour was a properly run tribe it would not have 70 members, but rather 40 or less. The average points per player would be above the rest and they would not be doing so badly with the war with Calm. I hear people on here complaining about Calm hitting inactive accounts. All that does is support my point. If Valour was properly run (oh God, here I go again....), all accounts would be properly manned and ready for end-world struggles.
If you cannot figure out what I am getting at, then dare not cross someone that does.
I'm just tired of all the n00bish remarks that think Valour is such an awesome tribe, and I apologize if anyone is offended.
For the record, when Adrian was still in charge of Calm., I claimed it a fail to; so I am not just some Hater. I attempt Truth.
