So basically this is exactly why I quit?
I dunno. I figured out how to read the numbers again - I didn't need them given to me, I needed to remember how to actually read 'em - and I guess it looks like a neutral-progress war to me? Phoenx is doing some damage (Wildcats over a month's time-span was down by a 2.5:1 ratio, at one point) while some Phoenx players have taken a beating from BH (I dunno, some were mentioned?). Everyone's so gung-ho over which side is winning, but I'm gonna just point something out here...
"91896" That's how many villages BH alone has under its control, excluding families.
"45913" That's Phoenx. Excluding friends.
My point is that there is no practical way that all of those villages will be nobled by one side or another. This war isn't going to end with a total victory - that stuff went out of style years ago. This is going to end with one side growing inactive and burdened by real-life, and with the other inviting a bunch of the loser's people and moving on. The point of propaganda is to demoralize; demoralization helps contribute to inactivity, which leads to the only practical form of defeat this phase of the game offers.
Until you see huge swaths of gray talking over continents, there's just not that much to talk about in this sort of war other than to talk about the past and about small, not-suited-for-analysis biopsies. Gregory House (I assure you, he isn't real) once said something along the lines of "take a cup of water out of the ocean, and you'll have evidence that there are no fish in it." That's how I interpret it. Wildcats can be down 2.5:1 villages, but that really doesn't speak to much of anything at this point. When one tribe or another as a whole is down that many, then there's something to talk about.
Now get off my lawn! *cocks shotgun*
