We celebrate this truly historic day to Wobble achieving yet another
merge in such a short world. There should be an in-game award for this, really. It's very impressive.
To look back on Wobble's
merges for the sake of nostalgia, I have complied a list for you:
1. Girl Power
2. USA
3. Pencil
4. Yawn!
5. Umad
6. Sang
7. NIR
8. Apathy
9. Yarr
and in the early hours of this morning,
10. Looney
"Looney!", I hear you shout? Well yes, Wobble
even managed it with them. They recruited their top two members of roughly two million points each with the plan for the other players to hand over their villages and co-play existing accounts in the tribe.
This is nothing out of the ordinary for Wobble, except that they knowingly recruited members with abysmal records (
example). Emphasis on 'knowingly', Wobble's own players fighting them warned their leadership these recruits were bad players and did not deserve a place in the tribe. And yet Wobble followed through.
So, in someways, despite Wobble's achievements in the past this is also a sad day for the tribe. A tribe that used to pride itself on it's skill, ability and integrity to that skill has died. This is a new tribe. A tribe that is in desperation and has been forced to accept these poor and unproven recruits. Wobble is no longer an 'elite' tribe I used to respect.
Their duke, Bunny Queen, in her own desperation fighting internal problems has also been forced to rally her members in a dire act to save her tribe from falling apart. Quite unsubtle in her manners of forcing her tribe to hate TB! and AAA. A fallacious mail, full of spurious claims and name-calling. Obvious to the recipients she was clinging at the straws.
For those of you wishing to argue what was a real merge or not, or whether this decision to merge Looney benefited the war, you are missing the point. This
merge has symbolised the death of a tribe that was held so high and respected my their friends and their foes, including myself. TB!, nor AAA, claims itself to be elite. In fact we have members in our tribe whose first world this is. But that's not what we stood for, that's what Wobble stood for. And that has gone.
Wobble will fight on, but it won't be the same tribe I once knew.
