When you are talking about Wobble, as a tribe, before December you are essentially talking about me and I know myself better than you do. Wobble's recruitment habits were my habits.

Umm guys, you missed the biggest merge of them all. When I joined Wobble my whole tribe moved over, oh wait I was the only one in the tribe :lol:

As I expected, many have missed the point of my post. This was not really about merging, but more about the declining selectivity of Wobble's recruitment. I am sure Sumner, you would agree that the standard of the new recruits does not match what you were previously revruiting or any other duke who succeeded you until now.
The fact is that players in Wobble do not deny these are bad, unproven players. They have recruited them because they need to, not because they want to. This is showing a tribe that is in desperation and has been forced to abandon what it once was.

I've recruited people in the past with absolutely no ability, knowledge or experience in the game simply to provide an advantage on the map. Assuming that is what's happening here, and I don't know that it is, then I'd say things are about par for the course. I just dislike being misrepresented with a word that I find so ridiculous. I really don't know what you think you know about Wobble's "glory" days but it was a long hard slog against multiple enemies and not a coast on the ability of it's members. We got to number #1 because we worked damned hard to get there not because we were awesome incarnate.

How can you possibly say a player is bad and then follow up with unproven? To me you can't be a bad player until another one makes you look bad.

When we were in Looney, we were causing them trouble. One player quit because of us and another even admitted that we did well against them. We aren't bad players. We just haven't been pushed hard enough yet and haven't been in a situation where we have had to use our abilities to the max. We may seem like bad players at the moment but once we get settled and are ready to move to the frontline, then you can start to judge on how good we are.

Well I hope you enjoy being in a tribe where half the members dont want you there. Personally I think you would have been better continuing to fight wobble as they are not in the greatest position, which is pretty much the only reason you were recruited. Not because they saw anything in you.

They haven't saw anything in me because i haven't had the opportunity to do something great. Give me time and i will show everybody what i can do. And it was in their interest to recruit me as we were an additional threat so if i am no good, how did they see me as a threat?Well I hope you enjoy being in a tribe where half the members dont want you there.

They may or may not have seen you as a threat, however i tend to think they did not see you as a threat. You were the last tribe along with simple to completely surround wobble. This basically removes a front line, and I am sure that you have already been told to send your support to one of wobbles fronts already. Which is pretty much the reason they would have recruited you.
Im not saying you're a bad player as I have never seen you in action. I am just repeating what others in the wobble ranks have said.

It is the same with every tribe when a player they don't really know joins the tribe. The members get hasty of the new recruit as they know nothing about them. The way members get respected is by helping the tribe and its members out and putting the tribe first. You have to earn respect and that is what i intend to do while i am here.They may or may not have seen you as a threat, however i tend to think they did not see you as a threat.

I guess I'll sum up this thread then!
Wobble recruited a couple of people and a few in Wobble didn't like it (gasp!) and now TB is attempting to use that to sow a little discord. I think the most noteworthy thing about this thread is that ted_terror is complaining about it in the exact way that people complained about him back when he got his invite. I find that rather distasteful. Wobble has always been about giving people the chance to step up and make their mark on the world. If it wasn't then the tribe would have 22 people in it, my friends wouldn't have burned out attempting to make it a success and I would still have a reason to be there.
So maybe, just maybe, those people in Wobble should stop being snobby and those people in TB should stop politicking and just stick to fighting in game. It's more fun that way anyway.

You can say what you like Sumner, claim your tribe was a teaching tribe if you wish, but there is NOBODY in Wobble as poor as these new recruits. There is NOBODY in Wobble that has disagreed either, it's not just ted.
The difference with ted is that he doesn't believe accepting these recruits is worth the gains in the war. I don't think anyone else doubts that these recruits are substandard, however.
This clearly marks the end of a road for what was a decent tribe to something that has become a tribe desperately seeking ways to try and gain ingame advantages, including recruiting bad players and turning to use slander in circular mails to raise morale.

Well because you are the best TW player to ever played the game. I have already had players welcome me to the tribe and have already welcomed me kindly and have said they don't mind me joining. I have already helped out a few members and a few members have helped me out. It blatantly isn't the end as Wobble still has a load more points and villages than your tribe. This could pay off in the long run, it may not pay off but there is only one way to find out. What is done is done now so can we just drop it.You can say what you like Sumner, claim your tribe was a teaching tribe if you wish, but there is NOBODY in Wobble as poor as these new recruits.

Not a teaching tribe. Tried that once and burned out quicker than a piece of paper in a furnace.
Speaking of tribes desperately seeking ways to gain an advantage; you appear to be trying particularly hard to sow enough dissent not to have to fight the horde once you're through to, what I personally considered, my most dependable front-line. It reeks of fear. I sincerely hope Wobble keeps it together until that happens, despite your best efforts to ensure it doesn't.

No real reply there Sumner, other than to turn attention onto me. I make these threads for my own enjoyment of writing them and the discussion that surrounds it. Not because I fear Wobble. It's quite the other way around as we have seen.

I know what you mean, a decent tribe messages all the remaining tribes in the world to war 1 tribe. Everyone knows the tribes who gangbangs 1 tribe are the best tribes around....

We have never done that. I still have never seen anything to prove your accusations because it never happened.

I had already explained to you that your knowledge of what Wobble used to be is defunct. Any argument you pose comparing Wobble's now and thens is also defunct because of that. I merely responded to the parts of your post what weren't rendered irrelevant beforehand.
You are politicking to gain an advantage, whether you do it for funzies or not. It would be rather nice for Wobble to fall apart before the war has really begun, would it not?

And I've told you although Wobble is of mixed ability (elite was probably the wrong choice of word), never was anyone recruited of this low standard knowingly before. No one in Wobble denies that.

Standards are a funny thing. They are different depending on the person that has them. Usually clouded by the holders bloated opinion of themselves. If they can send noble trains in under 15 seconds then they are far from the worst member of Wobble, ever ever.
