I'll answer this accordingly.
I don't want misinterpret your post but the way you say that suggests that this would be some how unfair? How you would call it a gangbang I really do not know.
Turtle F + Kaboom = 33.5million
Cruel + 800800813 + remaining top 10 not associated with turtle (I just added these for arguments sake not because this is going to actually happen) = 46million
Consider the rest of the top 10 are not going to be making any sort of coalition against you, to even make a statement suggesting any sort of "gang bang" is on the horizon is a quite pathetic. There isn't any amount of worthwhile tribes that could form any sort of group that is large enough to say a gangbang is happening or even possible.
This is currently. Not future. With all the fronts on the rim, and the access other tribes have to, let's say,
better food? I'm pretty sure we'll see the large come from the later group, especially Cruel.
If you want a true definition of a gang bang try**:
Turtle F + Kaboom vs TKWSN
** Note these are the stats being used to back up the statement of "Turtle picked themselves back up and are beginning to show force with little effort. The stats I posted are a good example."
It's been stated and posted a few times, but here it is again:

Without actually looking at the stats, Turtle and Kaboom have 31 people involved. TKWSN HAD (Included deleteds, since we could class them as casualties) 35 players. Now, as much as we're all just looking at "hurr hurr points", if people were aware, at time of declaration, TKWSN F. had a 37% influence of the continent, with only 11% going to Turtle F. We were only slighter bigger then Kaboom in the continent, so we'll say 22% as a whole. The war was in their favor from the start... I only came across info just yesterday that the TKWSN recruits into Turtle (No, not Mawg, he was Ex-Faith planned to join prior to issues, along with other Ex-Faith) were planned before any conflict. It's news to me as it happened 3 weeks ago and I'm only hearing about it now.
As much as everyone will disagree with those points I've listed, it's nothing but factual evidence >_> TKWSN had the upper hand and wanted 100% control over K43, which is when info surfaced on the ops being prepped on HankFourteen, Im Not Fazed, and then follow with ops on Ninja members in the area when Orc was to declare on Turtle. They bet everything on Orc, and then we hit Orc a little too hard when they already had a war to fight. They backed off the moment their botched noble op failed, and was then counter-attacked by the very player they attempted to take out. TKWSN stuck by themselves, which, I should say where honor is due, but in the end continued to dig their graves with further comments. Tony's posts are a prime example within the thread.
The main thing that has hacked me off in all of this is that Turtle have caused this perception of an end game war on the horizon. It's so dam frustrating that the most enjoyable phase of the world is being ruined by lack of wars and instead recruitment. Check this:
Server run-time: 130 days
Approx 4 and a half months this world has been running and I hear (not just on externals) talk of end game. Speed 1 with expensive packets and we think we are near end game. We shouldn't be having huge world wide wars for another 6 months but it's being forced because of the horrible recruitment strategy of turtle that ruins tribes ability to keep wars going because they've just had their top 5 up and leave.
For as long as I've played, the moment the few super powers of the world begin to climb the mountain, talks of end game arise. This is a given. I talk about end-game all the time. I've been talking about it with the tribe since I joined in January when the whole super power idea came to fruit. I've planned everything out personally, from my own expansion, to which front I would fight on given the circumstances once I'm prepped for mass noble travel. I have plans on plans that would make me look like a fool, but they're all situational.
Everyone begins to get this end-game mindset usually around the time a singular poster boy of supremacy arrives. No, I'm not being a pretentious dick, as much as that sounds like it. No. I'm actually stating the obvious. Would you know that W62 had an even less time before end-game begun being discussed? Panic!, the tribe at the top, only managing 5 mil at the time, were in the lead by a clear 3mil margin over second place Org. The amount of end-game talk was phenominal. "Will Panic merge with Org to force an end?" "Will it be Org vs Panic?" "Who's fighting who's side in the final war?". It was the same thing over and over again.
Rather then use the "problem" and continue to poster-boy them more, consider the fact that if everyone is in this mindset, that means everyone has the same thought in mind, and that's "Turtle is going to win", or something similar, which leads to this slander, this constant bitching, this insessant disregard that this thread is a GOD DAMN PNP... But I digress... It's the way the players feel at the present point, and as much as everyone thinks they're doing damage by constantly ripping on Turtle, they're only proving to Turtle members (Not me, more logical standpoint then anything here), that they're afraid of something and need to justify their reasoning.
This is basic psychology mixed in with a game with a political feeling more inclined then the Australian Government (Take that, Mr. Abbot). It's something people really need to get around before opening their mouth.
And then here I sit... Posting walls of text to inform people on an educated level on how they're mislead. With people like Finny50, who needs fanboys? Am I right?
