I started this world, in the corner with PI, who backstabbed me. PI as a tribe did not backstab, but several of their players had set up accounts on the rim to spy on the stronger tribes. Those accounts then gifted villages in the tribes core, and spied ruining defensive plans. Then PI who new what their players were up to have the audacity to post on the public forums that it was not their fault that other tribes in the area were able to put up a fight and challenge. Yes i did not play for long, and i never spent a penny, but i would class what they did as a big backstab, not just a minor backstab, so on that you are wrong balian.
PI players are also commenting about paryl accepting traitors, so why are they in PI? knowing that several of there players are cheating scum and backstabbers. They are all choosing to hide there heads in the sand, when it comes to there own tribe cheating.
Paryl also started on a backstab, and have backstabbed several tribes and players themselves. So they cannot really cry about backstabbing. Tw is literally just backstabbing for the quick growth now, rather than any war fighting, and most of that is due to the botting and pp.
Yar was obviously going to backstab, due to his location. He has stayed out of the way of wars and had run out of room to expand, and a player like him is scared to war. Any large player who avoids the war will eventually run out of room to grow, and then go for the backstab as the quickest way to gain growth, the same with vlad and a number of others. Some might be good at war, but they avoid it for easy growth if they can, and that is what they did. I do think that they have set themselves up for a backstab themselves though, as Yar is gifting villages to PI in k55. But PI will not invite the smaller players, or some of the larger ones, so they will most likely be backstabbed in the future.
I quit, and i am happier not playing, as i tell you what, the amount of backstabbing is disgusting, its not worth the effort as 95% of wars are won due to backstabs. If i were you ibilain, i would try to find a new game, as tribalwars is dying, mostly because of the attitude of its players.
