Hello to all in World 38, and any interested observers.
To those who don’t know me I am the current co-Duke of Domino, alongside Queen Aphrodite.
Domino have been at war with NATO for over two years; a respectable period by any terms. To be honest, Domino have been at war with someone since the very early days of W38 - NUTS, Excite, E, HOG, Asylum, Art, [O]; to name but a few of our past protagonists. With pride, we note that we have comprehensively seen off all challengers up to this point, until we were left with NATO – the only other ‘early-day’ Tribe who remained standing. It has been a good war, generally fought in good spirit, and thankfully with little animosity on either side…which I know has disappointed some external viewers as it led to a lack of entertaining PnP on these forums. Sorry for that! Ever since Togepi and Mark Harrison left we (W38) have been unremittingly rubbish on the forums.

Around 6 months ago it became clear that we had reached a clear tipping-point (in Domino’s favour) in our war with NATO.
Side 1:
Tribes: NATO
Side 2:
Tribes: Domino
Timeframe: Forever
Total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 8,955
Side 2: 27,598
Difference: 18,643
Points value of total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 82,046,864
Side 2: 261,873,428
Difference: 179,826,564
Side 1:
Tribes: NATO
Side 2:
Tribes: Domino
Timeframe: Last 3 months
Total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 396
Side 2: 7,464
Difference: 7,068
Points value of total conquers against opposite side:
Side 1: 3,735,951
Side 2: 71,508,361
Difference: 67,772,410
By any reasonable measure Domino has won this war, and as such we claim victory.
To reach the arbitrary figure of 85% for a TW-defined victory would require another 6-9 months of low-level warfare, plus the ever-depressing nobling of barbs and inactives. As the figures above show, there would be little pleasure or satisfaction in this. So after discussions with Noche (Duke of NATO), we will be ceasing hostilities tomorrow, and I will be issuing Domino invites to the majority of NATO active players, again as discussed and agreed with Noche. All being well, this will end the war tomorrow - 16th February.
We tip our hats to NATO, and the core members who refused to quit or fall over. Their ‘never-say-die’ attitude is a credit to them and their leadership. Earlier events, most notably actions caused by the 'tattered' account, will have made your job even more difficult than it needed to be.
I also salute all the players in Domino who have worked tirelessly for over three and a half years to get us to this position. The endless Ops, support-count requests, faking – all of the day-to-day work you have done was worth it. You are members of a very elite club, an original tribe that started nearly on day one of a world with a plan to get to a position of unassailable dominance – and then made it happen.
(There will be further posts from me in the days to come with some comments on W38 history, plus a little info about Domino that some people may find vaguely interesting.)
Thanks,
Rho.
