Wow thor really do think a lot of themselves for defeating two tribes that internally combusted.
We lost the war and I do give (some) THOR credit but for me, the reasons we lost the war were:
1. jinxo
whoever said 'he's just one guy in k77, he can't do much' then you have no clue.
- firstly he has 27 villages in k76
- secondly he was our one leader. No one else apart from him and maybe his concubine patsy, Pro6boarder, knew what was going on. So when one quits and the other goes inactive we get fairly screwed fairly quickly. Not only that, but the other duke, Ekaggen (85 villages in k76) also went inactive prior to the war - if jinxo and ekaggen were just able to send support troops (maybe jinxo did, i have no real clue but i suspect he didn't) we could have secured a ton more villages
- thirdly, jinxo was sitting a ton of villages with a lot on our front lines. He goes inactive, not only do we lose direction, we lose accounts which can actually do something in the war.
- fourth, jinxo gives our only spy account in THOR to mynizzle so we lose all inside information and get attacked from this new account when not expecting it.
- fifth, jinxo joins THOR!! That was unbelievable to a lot of us...people near jinxo's villas withdraw their front line support in case he attacks them (which he does). Not only that but moral drops and many people went inactive due to all this crap going on...including even more people on the front lines in k76 and beyond.
2. inactives
For some reason some THOR members seem to think we were ready for this war and had been planning for it. That is not true - jinxo got us into this war for reasons we have no clue about. I'm a baron and I had, and still have no idea why we went to war with THOR. One day we get told we are at war and to start attacks/send nobles. We were not prepared - if we were we would have made sure we had active people at the front lines and beyond, either through nobling them first or getting people to set acct sitters.
I'm sure thor had/have inactives but we really had a lot as our leaders seemed more concerned about making names for themselves on these forums than sorting out our tribe. Hell, the leaders themselves were inactive in game.
3. SOCOM
THOR did a lot of damage in k76 and this was largely done by ex-SOCOM members who really seemed to know what they were doing (although attacking abandoned villas is hardly difficult :lol
. Most seemed very skilled in fakes, clearing/noble timing etc etc...altho jed's always seemed way too spread out for a socom member...10-15 seconds between nobles? :icon_confused:
It's just a shame that socom lose respect for ditching their tribe and running to the nearest family tribe for safety the moment they get threatened though. SOCOM vs. *I* may have been a closer fight even with all the stuff mentioned above as our west flank was very exposed which would have partly made up the advantage we would have had being the bigger tribe.
4. spies
You had complete access to our forums and the leaders refused to do anything about it - anyone who shouted, for example, about how much support they sent was attacked very quickly, such as lady hilken lol!
So....that's my opinion. Congrats to THOR on defeating us - i only wish the circumstances were different and we could have given you a proper fight.
Flame me if you like...flame wars are fun :icon_twisted:
