I would say the quality in each tribe was about equal. Bip had alot of shit players, so did TEA. I would probably say that BiP had worse top quality players then TEA, therefor i was very amazed Tea managed to lose.
BiP leadership is almost equally bad as Tea, well to be fair BiP's leadership has been a non factor. Tea has just ran into a brickwall over and over instead of going around it, We win because TEA has a crap leadership and a shit council. In my perspective, TEA should have won long ago. I have seen what bip can do, and let me tell you this - It's amazing how lucky a tribe can be to pull over something like this and win.
I'd rate Fredrik at a 2.5/10 in leadership, but Trex did so many small misstakes it made it possible for Fredrik to come out on top. He has alot of members to thank for this though.
I'd like to point out a few things Tea should have done but they didn't.
* Ops, the ops were great - BUT dist never sent anything on the missions, with their added nukes on a close by frontline, we in bip would have lost ALOT off villages. Almost everything was sent to defend FKA/LostOne etc.
* Inactive players need to set sitters and if they can't get their nukes out - Do it for them. You have a rebuild time of 1 week on the nukes, Tea sent an op once a month. This is not acceptable. If Tea had any sort of skill they would have KNOWN how hard it was to keep supplying our stacks with defence. Nukes you send, Defence you rebuild and then it just "stays" until it has somewhere to go. Stacks got weak and weaker everytime. You also don't really want to massivly op 2 areas in a row - AS support is HARD to send back home, it takes ALOT off work to know which ones to send home and which was ment to stay as a prestack.
* Diplomacy wise, Tea f**ked up in a major way. Yes i am going to beat this dead horse a couple of times. We all know how Dist 'owned' us in 2hard , by nobling our trash players. Did you know that the remains of 2hard NEVER lost a village to BiP ? Thats correct, we that remain held them at bay. Why Tea decided to merge Dist we will never know or understand, but that misstake alone cost them the victory. 2Hard took down Dist alone, ofc dist went inactive, i am fairly sure alot of tribe would have. But remember, Dist had nice people tho, which is great - 2hard people are not equally kind.
* Infamy was and still is a f**king joke, why did you ever let up on them? You guys had the kill. No, Bip never sent support to them. We did that when we merged, did Tea feel a diffrence before and after? Yeah... Case closed.
* Family tribes, They never work. The problem is when you invite all the trash is that there is no "hunger" as rags would say for the rest of the players. Internals are fun and all that, but seriously - It's bad for a tribe as the whole. It may have been a good idea at the start, but it was also the beginning of the end.
* Being arrogant, No one ever wins by being the arrogant tribe that think they will buttf**k the world. Everyone on the other side will try their f**king best to make sure this is what happens. You want to win with ease? Play nice and don't give the opponent a reason to hate you enough to committ time for revenge. Case and point Nathan potter who got me active again, Alone i did not defeat Dist - But you can be damn sure i whipped 2hards backs until they were gone.
* Would also like to add, BiPs op's have been the easiest ones to spot in my whole tw carrier. I to this day do not understand how we got hardnutz OR silva so easily. I CANT BELIEVE IT. You could have halted everything, you could have forced us to surrender more or less. Infamy wasn't fighting Tea, Bip was. You were BIGGER as a family as well, yet you couldn't get the support where it was needed? Like cmon. Where was the leadership, where was the bloody general?
I've quit, so i don't really care what infamy or bip is going to say. There are some people i love in that tribe, but man their best move was to merge 2hard. Proven over and over now, saved the FKA front, saved 56 cluster, bashed dist into subbmission, basically making alot of Tea giving up. Rag terrorizing Trex and jake with his plots. Think what you like of rags, but he is up in the top of this world, far better than that Majestee scum that never supports anyone else then himself lol. Yeah, go f**k yourself David.
Also i like to add, You could have convinced me to join tea and get the stuff straight. If you knew how to push my buttons right. Some part of me wanted so bad to show Fredrik how fragile his victory was. Simen, you are the bright star in BiP and i don't think you will ever know how much you did for bip in the end, truly, you will never know but if you did you would be the MVP.
