They don't have to be the only reasons. it could be that Tea have been trashing most major tribes on the externals and We want to put them in their place and erase that tea stain from W90 history. Isn't it now a fair war with the Tea coalition vs BiP and Infamy?
Some members have talked TEA up, no question there and there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't recall much if any trash talking of other tribes besides ANTZ and 2HARD during their respective wars after (TEA claimed) those tribes violated or planned to violate their diplomatic agreements. Certainly nothing out of the ordinary, and they've certainly received a lot more trash talk, especially from C9 and PSST members, than they ever gave out. Surely you remember the dozen or so times in utterly unrelated threads where PSST members started talked themselves up as if they were TEA's #1 priority, and failing? Or your own attacks on virtually every move and decision TEA ever made?
Whatever
personal grudges some folk seem to have against each other, and all that other stuff you guys keep rehashing about W83 are hardly relevant - or certainly shouldn't be - to tribal strategy.
But yes, it's pretty even, maybe 60/40 against TEA now, and there was nothing underhanded or unexpected here, which is about as fair as it gets in TW. Should be a good war
