cypher.. aside form my many mass merges and always at war.. you need to understand 1 thing here. As you say tis is your first world.
Tribes thrive on wars, but also lose alot of activity as it takes alot of active players to fight in war. This means the tribe must have replenshments to continue on the war. Most tribes dont war, then take a break and then come back to it. They continue until they win. The tribe who can establish replenishments is ussually the tribe that wins as you need to launch atatcks out inorder to win. My biggest downfall i think was being so lenient to some, and too harsh on others, but after time i grew very busy and didnt have much help. I got woody who stepped up a bit until i snapped one day, and basically said i was goign to go as i couldnt do it on my own... so woody stepped up. So i worked with him teaching him how to run a tribe. As for the many group leaders we went through it happens. A group leader has issues coming up and they go, so i need to find a replacement. Firebend was one of those, who had ALOT to learn. He had 1 thing thou, the drive to win. He had alot of heart and alot of friends, and wanted to continue on. You had 1 tribe. KINKY. Kinky was great in the day no doubt about it, but like every world i have fought pervis i knew exactly what would happen. When they face a tribe they cant handle, they run. Perivis, and the other leaders left, i think they even had you in there. Then you left due to an argument and joined VVV. then when VVV got into a war you asked to join us.. so you didnt have to fight. Until we went to war with manic, then you realized.. omg.. im still frontlines.. and you did nothing in that war. Then you were so happy to war deus.. why im not sure, but really you didnt do much other then whine how little others did. Those others you whined about, fought war after war. Many of them burnt out. needed a bit of a break, and now are happly fighting again.
As much as we dislike each other i think it is your personality that gets in yoru way of game play. You feel its betetr to be the number 1 player then any tribe. This makles you a selfish player. Ask your self this.. could you fight a tribe and lose 100 villages and keep fighting like daholla or kriid, or rukoh, or kk? those are what we call fighters. They could care less about points, all they care about is their tribe wins. You sir, as much as you didnt want "me" to win this world are a selfish player who would cut throat anyone to save your number 1 spot.
Also, in case your too niave to realize, if s2orm does win this world, then thats still a win for "me" as it is for s2orm as i was apart of that tribe.
lots of luv cyph i promise i will be back when i get a few weeks off to knock you out of the top 10 fer shz n gigglez
