Welcome once more, W34! It’s been long, too long, since we here at Alice? have had the pleasure of your company.
As you're all thoroughly perceptive individuals, I'm sure you've worked out this thread relates to Alice?'s dealings with IQ. (The title of which, yes, was the best I could come up with. I'm as disappointed as you are. You'd think the tribe names would lend themselves to awesomeness, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong.)
But let us return to the matter at hand!
Not too far back into the terribly distant past, there was a tribe called Alice?. They were a happy tribe. Joyful in their wanderings of the mysterious land known to all as K44. One day, a member of this lively bunch decided to expand his humble territory. As one is wont to do, in TW.
This was met with wholehearted approval in Wonderland. We were with him through it all - the long and arduous journey into foreign lands, the uncertainty, the nail biting countdown to nobling! Then together we rejoiced at his success, before carrying on with life once more.
Shortly thereafter, I received a mail. It seems not everyone in K44 was pleased with this expansion. Especially not this person:

Unfortunately I didn't keep hold of the report forwarded to me, detailing this mighty clearing, so you will have to take my next comment on good faith.
The report was dated one week earlier.
I'm sure you can see where this is going.
[spoil]
This discussion went back and forth, as I'm sure you can imagine. The end result being, naturally, that we declined relinquishing the village. Actually to be completely accurate, we simply... didn't offer to return it. What followed from the IQ battlefront was a series of fakes (foiled), a noble train (foiled), and more fakes (further foiled).
For a time we let this slide, amusing ourselves with childish glee at the destroyed noble train. It's impressive how long I'll remain distracted by a single report or 4, for. Finally however, our patience dissolved. And action was taken. For your viewing pleasure:
Side 1:
Tribes: Alice?

Side 2:
Tribes: IQ

Timeframe: Last week
Total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 6
Side 2: 0
Difference: 6
Points value of total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 24,236
Side 2: 0
Difference: 24,236
I don't think I can summarise it any better than the statistics do.
Now, being the generally decent and kind hearted individual I am, I have contacted the remaining IQ members. With this.

Hey there,
As you have probably noticed, IQ is collapsing. Silverbullet has fallen, Lejasblusa2 has all but abandoned you if his village scout reports are anything to go by, your ph34r f4ct0r Snafer has jumped ship, and you are losing still more members.
There is no chance of salvation from this. I do not see a strong rally or comeback from your current position. Therefore, I am writing to you out of general politeness, to give you an accurate assessment of your situation.
At the end of the day, you're caught in what was a crossfire between Lejasblusa2 and Silverbullet, and me and a few Alice? members. A short time back, Lejasblusa2 contacted me about a village an Alice? member nobled. Turns out IQ had cleared it a week - yes, a week, I saw the report - earlier, and he felt entitled to it. He told me in no uncertain terms that IQ wouldn't give it up.
I did not take kindly to this.
Silverbullet then tried to noble my tribe mate. I did not take kindly to this, either.
Unfortunately, their behaviour and attitude as a whole has pushed Alice? to war. And war involves whole tribes. S'just the nature of the game.
At this point, I would advise you restart sooner rather'n later if you want to remain in this world, and get a new village under way.
If you remain in IQ, you will be catted or nobled. If you flee to another tribe, you will be sought out as a refugee and destroyed. If you restart now, you will have another chance at a better future.
Wishing you all the best in W34,
?TMH.[/spoil]
Too harsh? Too lenient? Too long? No matter the opinion, IQ ranks are falling steadily! Keep an eye on this group, people. Blink and you'll miss their final days.
As ever, wishing everyone all the best in W34,
?TMH.

PS. For those who may question the ... necessity of this post, it was largely fuelled by the amusement inspired in me when I recently came across this in the wars thread:
I'm not actually certain what's being predicted there, but I feel fairly confident the outcome isn't as suggested. I hope no one put money on it.
