Well, now that the first wave is over, it is time for the counter. Lets see if WASP has what it takes to return the volley and make some gains. I think for the sheer size of IMPACT, the size of the front and the preparedness put into the first wave, WASP has done fairly well.
With many thousands of incoming attacks per player, some reporting up to 4,500... it is no surprise that WASP has lost a large number of villages. I guess what it comes down to is local skill and communication. It is no surprise that some tribe hopping WASP players have left when the going got tough (Lola16 anybody?) but wars will either make or break a tribe.
Looking at the power of IMPACT and the skill of their players, it is hard to believe that WASP is in the exact some position that East was in a few months ago, a war on multiple front, partly inactive leaders... But still IMPACT emerged to become a dominant force. So I would encourage everyone to take these stats with a grain of salt, because I am sure there are fantastic players in WASP, and WASP will be refined as a tribe and could actually come out stronger (not in total area, but in average player skill), just as IMPACT emerged from East.
So, am I being biased towards WASP? Hell no, they pissed me off just as much as any local player, and I can totally relate to the reasons IMPACT declared (nobling into my cluster, threatening me with attacks, actually sending attacks, attacking my players... All while having a NAP).
