Remove the rim tribes, free up everything and everyone to concentrate on BiP.
My personal opinion, it's not a bad shout.

Oh and regarding Infamy, less than 100 hours until we see some more cards on the table I think.
His position had one major advantage, that he was right next to King Banana.
First time i've heard that being my neighboor is a major advantage
When one is against a poor tribe, then yes having access to an enemy leader is a massive advantage, but any tribe worth it's salt won't simply crumble with a duke getting rimmed, or close to rimmed, and I doubt BiP would fall if King Banana did.First time i've heard that being my neighboor is a major advantage

I will be the first to admit that BiP have done extremely well for themselves. Their OPs have tbeen planned thoroughly and executed pretty flawlessly. There's no doubt of that. Yet there are those in BiP that mock TEA for not having King Silva/Hardnutz stacked to the brim... but how could we? We have Infamy baring their fangs on one front, with bananas being thrown at us on another... not to mention the rim tribes smashing us with spear nukes (laughable, but effective on empty backlines). If like BiP we had one front, then I am sure people would agree that our stacks would have been much more concentrated. Perhaps the war stats would have been a little tighter. These are not excuses, but facts. Regardless, BiP's defending and seemingly unlimited supply of PP is commendable. (Out of curiosity, I would like to know how much FKA/BiP spent in total PPing up those walls. (And before people start lashing out, TEA have done the same, just not to the same extent).
However, what I fail to understand is the hate and negatively pouring out of BiP. The village renaming, the external bashing... unsportsmanlike behaviour that makes me detest even reading the externals, yet alone logging into the game. There's a fine line which I feel both tribes have crossed. Sure most of us are here to win, but we are also here to have fun with our friends while meeting new people, right? King Ragnar was one of those new people I met on this world. I could digress into a soliloquy about him, but that would be utterly hypocritical and completely derail the intent and purpose of this post. The purpose of which is about forgiveness. Ragnar, I forgive you for what you did. I will never forget, but I can forgive.
It's the social aspect of Tribal Wars that keeps me coming back every goddamn time. I've met some fantastic people on this game, enemies, tribe mates, allies and co-players alike. Each individual bringing something new and exciting to this game that keeps me coming back for more. Special shout out to TEA here, I have never known a more hodgepodge group of goofballs and memers in all of my Tribal Wars career; and I love every single one of you to death (even if I veto some of your barb nobling/co-player requests lol). However there was one player in particular that I was introduced to in 2015 that - I can honestly say - has changed my life forever. Spending time with this individual has brought more happiness and joy into my life than I had previously ever thought possible. It is odd how attached we become to these strangers we meet on the internet; especially those individuals that you have absolutely nothing in common with besides the game itself. Talking to them every single day for months on end... you really do create a bond. Up until only recently, I had thought I had found my happily ever after...
But this page-turner of a fairy tale has come to an abrupt end. And I'm sitting here, book in my hands, re-reading the last lines wondering where it all went wrong... and I cannot help but blame myself. So I just wanted to say I am sorry. I am sorry for everything I put you through. You didn't ask for any of this, and I am sorry. You gave me everything you had to give, and I always wanted more. You told me again and again and I didn't listen until you drifted away completely. Without sounding too clichéd and over dramatic (too late), Martin Luther King once said "only in darkness can you see the stars". It is only now, at the lowest point in my entire life, do I see the beauty of everything I took for granted.
Whether you see this or not, I just wanted to ask for your forgiveness. I wish nothing but happiness and success for you in the future. You will always mean the absolute world to me.
Went a little off topic towards the end, but the point remains. I just wish we could all be a little more positive and respectful towards one another, regardless what side we are on. I have enough heartache in my life as it is, and seeing everyone posting like this on the externals only makes it worse.
PS. Thank you for your previous post(s) nemesis. You bring unbiased statistics and facts into your posts which always makes for a balanced, structured and enjoyable read. Keep it up.
In terms of sportsmanship, I am not one to be sportsmanlike myself. Respect is not just given for free, at least from me, it is earned. Furthermore, in my opinion, I shouldn't have to be telling people they did good. They should know themselves whether they did good or not, regardless of winning or losing the war. Yes though you are right, I've been in certain tribes that never give respect out for anything, @Night being a recent example but I can also think back to older ones such as SPAM. In those particular cases, you have to be in the tribe itself to understand why no respect is given, often it is just part of the atmosphere. Asking for respect actually generally results in more flaming and scorn. "No, why would we give TEA respect, they are trash". To put it one way, different tribes are different internally, perhaps you would give them respect, but do not expect reciprocation. Some tribes in TW just won't give you it ever.
I get the impression that some folk feel that effective "PnP" means just trash talking other tribes, claiming that they're crap and throwing every accusation under the sun hoping some of it sticks. To greater or lesser extents there's some folk in all the major tribes doing that.
I don't know anything specifically about those tribes you mentioned but in the case of a tribe which is genuinely (and proven) superior to all or at least most others around, sure, in that case I can see why they'd not hand out respect to their rivals. Trouble is that there's no tribe on World 90 which can claim some high and mighty superiority over each other. Most of us still recall the diplomatic blundering and internal fracturing from the early days of the 2HARD/BiP war which saw BiP down by 37 to 13 in the first seventeen days of that conflict - an even worse beginning for that stage of the world than BiP's current successes against quitting, banned or isolated former 2HARD accounts. But we all know how that one turned out in the end. Probably TEA could have done better too, but certainly BiP have done fine work so far in this war: It'd be nice if all parties - certain Infamy members included - could acknowledge that without also feeling the need to claim that TEA is a crap tribe or keep flinging dubious accusations around the externals. To my mind that kind of thing comes across as insecure more than anything else - and as Nicki commented, really detracts from enjoyment of the game, particularly when all the vitriol and drama ends up getting carried over from world to world.
