Grind could have been better than TLA at the start of the ware. They had significantly more villages than TLA did. What gave TLA the win was good leadership, good skill, activity, and players who are willing to stick through till the end, regardless of how boring hitting dead accounts may be.
If Bert, Ickle and Monegron1 had not quit, then we would have likely been 2 or 3 months behind where we are today, but certainly not a whole different end result. Funny how everyone who quits from Grind does so, not because of TLA's pressure or the state at which TLA has left Grind, but because they got tired of the game or hated someone else in Grind. When someone from TLA leaves it would seem (as far as Bert is concerned) that we are falling apart. How many months did you continue to make fun of our leader who decided to quit?
TLA are winning this war in every single way and have been since day 4 of this war, when we could change our focus to our once NAP tribe who decided to sneak attack us, break the NAP, and create their own downfall in an enemy. Those of us in TLA who wantt o see this through will see the very end, those in Grind can make it happen in a shorter amount of time and end their suffering quickly by following in the footsteps of the wonderful BigBert, or fight back and spend a bit more premium to prolong the death.
The choice is yours.
