but you underestimate the value of forming trust and relationships.
you can accuse NME of hugging as much as you want, but the truth is that NME shows its members respect and gives them a measure of autonomy, while adhering to a strategic game plan.
troops follow generals they respect for more than mere strategy, or even loyalty. and i know you are loyal to growth. but you are missing a big part of the equation. you do not seem to get the part where respect for all applies.
i bear you no ill will, and this is far from over. but you could take a page from solo and dagan when it comes to knowing how to treat the minions, of which i am proud to be one in NME.

So I'm getting tired of this nonsense. I just went back and looked in the last 20 posts I've made on this forum, and in only one of those have I posted anything about "NME" and "Hugging" in which it was defending them to Dino.
[SPOIL]
I'd really enjoy watching you try and bring down either Growth or NME. If you were able to bring them both down in say...48 hours, I'd be forced to pull up a thread in your honor in world 74 and delete my account. Of course this is all if it were actually possible, but there is nothing you've got on me, or Growth, that will collapse Growth, and I highly doubt that telling NME they are mass-recruiting huggers is going to bring them down.
Thank you for playing. Go back to your home under the bridge.

Compare this to your profile where all you talk about is hugging Makobex and lesss who, here is a funfact, actually spied for Loyal during the Loyal -> NME war. What's that? NME had spies in its ranks? No way, I thought you all trusted and respected and loved one another.
Also you can compare this to Dino's profile and you will see that almost every other post in the beginning of the NME Sucks thread, or whatever it is called, was calling them out as huggers.
I certainly don't think NME are a bunch of huggers. I just think that they'd rather recruit the rest of the world instead of forcing people to quit. I've made my discomfort with that plain to anyone that has asked. If I had it my way, you could bet your ass that Mmx, Warpro, Feryz, and Pure Pandemonium would no longer be on this world. Funny, the other people I mentioned that about were xa4cd(recently kicked from NME because we nobled him), FamousInferno(kicked from NME only after we'd taken nearly 100 villages off the guy, twstats says 53 but that doesn't include 48 hours because those were the days twstats stopped updating for awhile), and Supa hot Fire(who is most assuredly on his way out, only kicked from NME after we broke him...for a third time).
I haven't once called NME huggers in recent memory, because I don't thoroughly believe that is SOLO-'s mentality. Every single person that has said that I've said that are putting words into my mouth. I have the utmost respect for the warfighting capabilities of maybe a dozen people in NME. Other than those dozen, I firmly believe you are all deadweight, and that is why I know if we go head to head, we won't have to worry once we get rid of those dozen.
Let me name a couple of things that make people disrespect you Kit.
1. Disobeying direct orders that are made for the good of the tribe solely because you disagree with the order itself(actually a court martial offense in the military)
2. Talking in a condescending tone to those people in your tribe because you think you are smarter than them. Don't say you don't think you are, it shows with how you type. From slipping large vocabulary words into standard conversation to make people wonder what they mean to always posing staged questions which everyone knows you want a specific answer to, even though it isn't the correct one. Huh...teachers have done that all my life. Guess I should've seen that one coming. Okay, you win this point because all of these traits are stereotypical of a teacher.
3. Being a passive aggressive individual with such comments as telling someone you will listen to them because you have trust in them, and then turning around and telling them that you won't do what they've asked because you think it is stupid. Granted you never came out and said it in that way, your actions speak louder than your words though.
4. You have an over-inflated sense of how important you and your account are to the tribe. From the very beginning of me recruiting you, you always referred to yourself as the 'queen' that I recruited. You are nothing more than a pawn, and it has shown. Pawns are easy to win from either side. Pawns are easily moved with proper strategy. The true 'queen', in terms of power of the account that was recruited was the teamwork that should have survived in that group of 3. It isn't the tangibles that make a tribe, like villages or points or troops. The intangibles will outwin the day 90% of the time.
5. After we started sending you support, you didn't even bother to say anything. You wouldn't have had to come right out and say "Yo, we are leaving in about a week." You could've just said "Hey, we don't need any more support. We are covered." The fact of the matter is you have no respect for anyone that isn't kissing your ass and asking you every step of the way what your opinion is. News flash Kit, you aren't omnipotent, omnipresent, or omniscient.
6. The fact that even after everything you've done, you keep trying to mend relations with people in the tribe. You've made your decision. Now own up to it, and embrace it. Whether it works out with you winning the world or with you crumbling under the pressure of 500 incomings(nope, not a typo), you have made the decision and there is no backing down from it. Quit trying to skirt around the edges and make this sound like you didn't have a choice, because the fact of the matter is you always have a choice. You were just too much of a coward to make the right one.
Oh yes, before I forget. Kudos to you and Dino on taking however many villages you have off the BD account. You have, in fact, showed me that you can take villages off an account that is fighting back for the first 24 hours of being under attack. Nice work.
EDIT: I forgot runningbullet until I went to attack him. Looks like that's another account we'll get the joy of destroying a third time.
