Just for fun: shall we consider the whole EturgK, MOJO, 100I, and DOM players refugees? I mean, they have been
- Forced or offered to join in on East's side at one point or another which they accepted (same like the "WA refugees") even though they had a choice (I don't speak about Wisdom's "join or die" choice, but the fact they weren't originally listed as hostiles on WA side).
- Originally weren't part of Wisdom/BoH but they all merged into them later on.
While they weren't originally WA players either, it completely fits to the "boosting numbers to get the upper hand" strategy you're whining about and which has been Wisdom's (and the whole Eastern Alliance's) publicly stated strategy for the first 6 months while you, by the way, had the upper hand in terms of numbers, scores and lands. I'll continue repeating this simple fact so long you'll finally understand and acknowledge it. BooooH wasn't playing against the odds all the time, shame on
you, and
not your enemies that the tides changed so easily.
Really, just for the sake of a quick test, try to blame the opponent on any world (or in any team-game) you're getting dominated on
after starting a war from a winning situation, and check if they can stay away from openly laughing into your face.
Also, just to make it sure you won't be able to ignore a pretty simple, but very important reason of your current whining:
How could that happen that [BA] never had a single player joining to a hostile (or actually, any) tribe?
Clearly, I have seen players flying here and there in this past more than 3 years, some changing sides and tribes like I'm changing my newborn son's diaper, and could even name members in BoH who're currently there because they've been recently turned down by WA tribes... so would you, with your more experience and skills in this game than the most of us have, care to explain us how it could happen?
The barbs and inactives will still be there after our fight. Do you accept the challenge?
Not sure how mixing BoH's strategy to the statement would help your case. However, let me show a pretty simple counter-statement, I think it speaks for itself:
Opponents defeated (Tribes)
As attacker
1 Fekete Sereg 6.088,41 Mio.
[...]
3 Wisdom 2.868,11 Mio.
6 Brotherhood of Steel 2.265,12 Mio.
8 Brotherhood of Honor 1.360,66 Mio.
I added Wisdom as your primary ODA gatherer for the past years bar the BoH period (and like it's been told they've been the best tribe for years), and BoH for the period after Wisdom (because as it's been said they are the best tribe today). I also added BoS (since they also called themselves the best tribe), since they are also here for years and been widely recognized as a killing machine of the eastern half of the world. All together, they have 6.493 Mio ODA.
Now check [BA]'s...
alone, it's easy, you can easily spot it at the #1 spot (for years). Considering the illustrious list of our opponents (DoP, STORM, CHE!!, EMP, MOJO, Brotherhood, Wisdom, BoH, etc), we've either found the barbs and inactives stacking themselves and fighting back much better than the living targets of all these competitors, or you might have
accidentally flipped the facts when speaking about
vultures or aren't aware of the meaning of 'vulture' at all.
