I haven't got much insight into the events over the last couple of weeks, I've been really inactive. Even more so than a few weeks ago. As many of you know, I joined this world as a spectator. I advised
@TreXboom &
@Nicki Minaj not to play this world as I wanted to play w100 competitive with them. I was never supposed to have more than a handful of villages and I gifted many of them to the Diane Kruger account. I knew it would have a negative impact on my plans but I let them continue playing this world as it was fully their choice.
They were having a lot of fun at start up and promised not to take this world seriously and not burn themselves out. As with all worlds things heated up and they started putting more and more time into the account and world. I will also make reference to playing world 90 with both Mia, Trex & Jake. This world wasn't too different but once again they were fighting against the odds. Something we've done historically through our time on tw. W65/90 are the most relevant as Babin, Trex and myself played those worlds together and we lost.
Although people have a perceived against the enemy (Obey v Coalition) I have to say it's really not. Obey were storming the world, as they had planned and the rest of the world fought back, they bruised some egos and now Obey have got their ship in order and are doing really well. It all became too much for Coalition leadership and they were no longer able to put in the time commitments dealing with *bullshit*.
If the coalition players started playing like a *team* again I think this world could go a lot further. There are still slackers in Obey and there are still players who will quit when 100 comes out (that goes for both sides btw).
I personally think the best thing the coalition can do is reunite into a single tribe, democratically elect someone and stick with them. Preferably someone who will organise an OP very soon and get troops moving because it looks like everyone is sitting and arguing and not doing much in-game.
The whole point of this post though was to point out that yes, Obey were egotistical at the start, the coalition shut them up and now because Obey are doing decent again they are flaming the coalition. I think there has been great work by both sides but it would be a shame for the coalition to collapse. There's still a long way to go, just keep grinding away in-game and I believe there is potential to turn things around.
It also highlights how good of an individual player Trex/Jake are being able to bring Escape from where they were to what they were when they finished up playing.
As I said previously Mehh!! is run pretty well, I've enjoyed my time here. I don't see any egos in here, might not be the greatest players but they are fun to play with and best of of there's no drama.
We're just hoping WET/Dry can get their shit together (and I really think everyone is hoping that) and get an OP moving. I think that's the most important thing to keep recycling troops. So whoever is the current leader needs to get in-touch with our duke and get something moving.
It's been a blast. Hopefully things settle down.
