Every world has a turning point. A single event that will shape the way the rest of the world plays out. The tribes involved may not be the tribes that finish the world but they are responsible for setting events in motion that will not be able to be undone. Let's take a look back at how the tigers have ascended to TYRANTS.
ATTACK - RECRUIT - EAT - REPEAT
The practices of D.O.T.T. have been well documented throughout the world 98 forum history.
This only serves to further expose the way in which they will try to win the world.
In an time when Crockery (CHINA) had dismantled the tribe known as Yin/Yang, a duo of tribes working together for dominance in a growing continent, D.O.T.T. recruited from the enemies of CHINA. The war had only lasted a few days when members started abandoning ship. Some members formed OPEN which D.O.T.T. also recruited from. They chose to include players who abandoned a war. The image below is courtesy of the Average Pessimist's update which clearly shows the recruiting habits.
The TYRANTS had grown through recruitment of cowards and war refugees to a point where they were sizeable. CHINA and D.O.T.T. entered talks to establish a relationship as we shared a long front and neither tribe had their focus on the other at the time. A line was set up as a perimeter along with diplomacy so that we could grow in the areas we wanted to. CHINA knew that it would set it's sights on a formidable NAMU and frankly did not want the threat of a 2 front war. There were transgressions of the line, including sob stories of how players such as the former Yin/Yang player Full Contact was throwing a fit about transferring villages he nobled 24 hours after agreements were in place. Excuses were given on communication errors so CHINA let it go to show such little problems were fixable when working towards an overall great relationship. This was only the first transgression. Members left D.O.T.T. and became rogue players, attacking CHINA villages but the Tyrants were too "busy" to deal with the problem. The transgressions leaned heavily on the side of D.O.T.T. with plenty of skype logs to back that info up.
At the time of war for China and NAMU, CHINA and Squeal, the Tyrants had vaguely worded intent to attack Squeal.
( I say vaguely because the wording was very careful as the Tyrant's leaders are smart, clever players)
In relation to starting to attack Squeal
"We are nearly ready as well, just barb munching along our old border line then we go. Will give you a heads up." - PhilCollins (DeadMax)
Instead of attacking Squeal as they implied they would, the Tyrants found a time when CHINA would be attacking on two fronts with both NAMU and SQUEAL and decided their best bet was to drop any relationship and attack a previously unprotected front, creating a mass of tribes fighting CHINA almost creating a 360 degree front to defend. This was met with some disappointment but we all knew it was a strategic play that could happen. They almost made it the full 72 hour cool down without breaking their word, yet a player started sending 12 hours prior. I'm sure it was another "communication issue"
Threat letters and recruitment letters have both gone out before the start of the war, the TYRANTS throwing attempts to dismantle China and Namu's newfound relationship to stop the progression of D.O.T.T. (which again, we all expected from creatures of habit) While we hope for a good war, we also hope that TYRANTS will not be able to recruit their way out of this war. Good luck to those who will be engaged in battle, and good luck to those who will join against TYRANY
