So your saying, DDB and BORG are the only tribes in CTRL's way of domination?
If so, this proves, TUBA and GTG are cowards, you cannot war CTRL because you're scared, what a disgrace of a tribe.
The one thing you cannot accuse GTG of, is cowardice.
We declared on BORG, a family tribe, about three times our size, knowing that we could not expect too much in the way of support from CTRL because they would have their hands full on their own front lines. We were a tribe, born on the rim, relatively late in the game. We were a tribe that had given a home to young kids that other tribes would not have had the patience with. Probably 10% of our tribe was under 14, with all the problems that that entails. We had had little or no war previous experience and yes we were mainly the bunch of noobs that some of our enemies accused us of being.
However, we were noobs with the guts and determination to scrap for every village. We were noobs that had real team spirit and we were noobs that were prepared to learn and gain experience on the battlefield, against the odds.
If you want to label a tribe as cowards, then look no further than BORG. They declared on CTRL, but have spent most of the past 6 months concentrating the majority of their efforts on attacking "the noobs of GTG", because they fellt they were the easier target. I have no complaints about that, it made us stronger and gave us the experience we needed to learn.
Or perhaps you would like to label DDB as cowards. They dragged their allies into this war and when BORG joined, they took a back seat and let BORG do most of the hard work against CTRL. Suddenly DDB captures against CTRL dwindled and it was BORG taking all the big hits on their behalf.
We didn't join this war at CTRL's behest. We declared on BORG for our own personal reasons. I made a point of not declaring on DDB at the same time, because we had no quarrel with them. Boonhower then decided to declare on GTG because he was unhappy that we had one player taking barbs in an area close to where they had other villages, which also happened to be a front line they had with CTRL.
We have given CTRL very little in the way of material support in this war, nor have we been asked to do so. We have had the advantage of a handful of CTRL players close to our area who have attacked one or two of the BORG players we have been attacking, but nothing that you could call a major planned joint op with CTRL per se. The main support we have given to CTRL is to divert the fire of BORG, that should really have been directed at CTRL. I smile when I see the thousands of attacks coming down at us from their safe areas, which should, tactically, been going in CTRL's direction. While we are more than holding our own against BORG, their insistence on attacking what they perceived to be the weaker target, has been of great benefit to CTRL.
Success in this game can be measured in many ways. When I joined, GTG were 597th in the rankings and had less than 100k points. CTRL had already had several months head start on us and were several hundred times our size. We were born on the rim and were surrounded by tribes much larger than ourselves. To have survived this far and to become a top five tribe is a success. To be able to go to war and be well on top against a tribe three times our size is a success. To be on the side that wins the last great war of world 10 is a success. To know that we have fully played our part in that victory would also be a success.
We would not begrudge CTRL the number one ranking when this world ends, just as I am sure they would not underestimate the part we have played in ensuring they stayed as number one tribe until the very end.
