Quite a shame that four historical, winning tribes (some were avoiding merges at all for years) had to finally merge only to fit to some empty bureocratical rules - as their cumulative numbers weren't above the two tribes player count, so there was no change other than forcing these tribes (so-called "winners") to give their identity up at the very end.
That's how to honour (a minimum of) 4 years loyalty and let the winners feel themselves like... well, winners.
Why the vote wasn't being held for the W17 players but admins is also beyond me, as if there were technical difficulties, then a vote is pointless, and if there aren't such difficulties, then why do some random admins have more influence over how the world shall end than the players who kept the world online and paid for it for many years?
It's extremely sad knowing that there were multiple admins and their tribes being completely destroyed on this world by this alliance.
Shame. :icon_sad:
