Ex is done.... iGouge,Hoxrex,Brutal and tre have surrounded them. Also Ex's rules will slow down everybodies growth inside. First they cann't noble more then 10 barbs. and if you noble more then the tribe will noble them back. Second if there is a merge then the tribe will share it... So basically you can't get a proper merge.
Talking about us being done and it being true are two different things.
As far as my tribe rules, we allow players to only take claim and take 10 barbs at one time to allow everyone a fair chance to claim and take some, not just the large accounts to claim and hog them all. After giving all players in the tribe an adequate and fair chance to claim some we do allow more to be taken.
As far as the merges, we do not allow 100 percent merges you are correct. Once again villages are shared out to players in the tribe. This does a couple of things, it prevents players from merging their way to top accounts they have not earned, and it prevents them from developing accounts they are not capable in some cases of handling.
It is also not fair to players no matter which tribe they are in, who have earned their top ranking to have some merge whores move into the top ranking replacing them there. You want to be top ranked earn it.
My philosophy is pretty simple, its Tribal Wars, not solo wars. Every active member in a tribe contributes to the growth and well being of a tribe, no matter how small or how large their account is. Therefore every member of the tribe should be able to benifit from barbs and merges, not just the large accounts.
So if you want to be able to claim and noble huge numbers of barbs leaving the smaller player who works as a member of the tribe out in the cold with nothing, the same smaller player who will in fact be the one sending D to you when you need it your in the wrong tribe. You want to be able to do a 100 percent merge and again leave that smaller player out in the cold while you merge your way into some "super account" your in the wrong tribe. You do have a "leave tribe" button feel free to use it.
Its Tribal Wars, its a team effort. And the team will have an equal chance to grow, not just the few select "elite" who think they are special.
As far as this "family tribe" debate, no doubt about it the Ex family is a family tribe. So what. A family tribe is nothing more than a collection of tribes that share a noble planner and are allied together working for a common goal. That pretty much covers it.
Now you can claim your not a "family tribe" all you want. Spin it, pnp it, makes no difference.
But if your a member of HotRex or what ever it is that your calling yourself today, and a member of MW your not doing anything different than the EX family.
You work together to meet a common goal. Your location and tribe nobling records indicate this. The Onfire merge where MW kicked players and took the ones Rawr could not indicates this. Your working together with TRE and Brutal and your plans with them make you no different than any other "family tribe".
Call it what you want, spin it how you want trying to make yourself look better than the EX family here on the externals because we are a "family tribe", have fun. But your really no different than we are.
