May I just add that every tribe has in-actives. If you've been around the block on how TW goes, there is no tribe that has not got to deal with inactives (Internals).
Secondly, as Jai has already said. Our aTo front was weak, now that some of the dead-weight on that front is gone, life will be much easier communicating and defending against aTo aggression. Alpha was active. They OP'ed Alpha. They gave us free ODD. Thanks.
And to clarify, I have never said *SP* is an elite tribe. It isn't. That however does not mean we do not have good players here, even apart from the "cream" of the crust. There are members here that have proven themselves capable, and I believe they have a very promising TW career ahead of them. Likewise, there were others that buckled under pressure, and will need to be dealt with because they don't have what it takes to cope with this world.
Every tribe will go through this upon their first serious war, its inevitable. No point denying it won't happen, because you don't really know what your tribe is made of until you see it in action. That is just how it goes, the players that just tag along for the free ride will be noticed. <==== Unless you are blind.
Anyways, that is that.
