I agree with this statement wholeheartedly. I do not see how having connections with Arg should have negative effects on Yarr aside from the comments of some muppets trolling on the externals raising a bit of negative press for Yarr.
If we are destined to fail because we have a basher, then by all means, you all should be happy. The once great Yarr has been reduced to a "family" tribe. An open declaration for anyone to try to take us down since we are such a weak tribe because of the decision that we went for to end ninja.
I will stop there regarding that topic as more muppets might think that I am being arrogant once again. When those same muppets try to discredit the abilities of Yarr, no Yarrian calls it slander, but when we try to defend ourselves from the discrediting thrown at us, we are called arrogant. It's not arrogance when we only try state facts.

They should have a massive effect considering the amount of good players that the tribe started with and the basis that it was formed, whether that was Dabs Pacman or Muffinz or the two combined.
The reputation of the tribe is in ruins and that is down to the recent events that the members of Yarr have let happen. I'm positive there are grumbles within the tribe, due to it's poor leadership decisions and it's public knowledge that Yarrs biggest allies are unimpressed with the way Yarr have handled themself recently.
As for "The once great Yarr" i'll take it as sarcasm as we all know you guys were far from great, decent? yes, Potential yes, great? No. Great in size maybe yes I will accept. To claim otherwise would be arrogance sprinkled with a little ignorance.
I haven't seen much arrogance from Yarr if I am honest, alot of ignorance and borderline arrogance but nothing I would worry about as there really isn't much for you guys to be arrogant about tbh. Maybe that you have the number 1 spot but come on we all no that's no difficult feat these days.
I appreciate your posts on the forum and wouldn't want you to hold yourself back trying to be appear humble. Let it out. Just stop bolding your sentences it's highly annoying :icon_wink:

Again, agreement to what you said. We do not need to repair the public opinion on us. Public opinion on Muffin/Pacman/Rank 0/Yarr has never been that good in the first place. We were underdogs from the beginning.
We were underdogs when DaB left Pacman and we from MuFFiN Embraced our pacmanny brothers to give them a home.
Back then, it was predicted that we were destined to fail.
When we were up against Care X, and they declared on us on the public forums and we were called out for rallying a "noob" coalition against them.
Again, people predicted that we would crumble.
[/spoil]
You were never underdogs, especially not on these externals. You were the front runners from the off(Pacman) you were front runners after the merge. All the interest was in your tribe on these very forums, all the blogs included your tribe and most of the press was positive. I held the utmost respect for your tribe and the majority of it's members(some were questionable but meh).
Most of the negativity on this forum was there for propaganda, the rest were from disgruntled enemies.
The noob coalition was a good war tactic, however no one knew then that it was a tale for what was to come. I never battered an eye lid when it was formed. Early world alot of the top tribes are puppet masters that is why they stay as a "top tribe".
The problems started when you started taking runners like Tubrez and such, for their points, the defence for Tubrez' internalling was his OD :lol: which inset justified his recruitment. Something which is easily gained with a load of free villas.
This was the beginning of the decline of your tribes public opinion. A trend set in and you guys really showed the way you wish to win this world and I will say WIN again as that is clearly the aim(which is normal) however you are prepared to get there whichever way possible.
Merging Ninjas was pathetic and destroyed your tribes reputation and with it your players. To then go on to add an academy tribe on the rim just sealed the fate of Yarr as a mass recruiting, cowardly hugging tribe with all the trimmings.
To say that ARG are not an academy is hilarious. Basher tribes are common place now, however basher tribes do not have added extras. You have the bashers and the bashers, resulting in guess what? a basher tribe. An academy has bashers and recruits who are expected to grow with both having the possibilty of joining the main tribe. See the difference?
Tribe A has 15 bashers. One of the bashers is asked to set up a tribe and invite the other 14. He is told who to recruit. The tribe remains at 15 members, if a new basher is established then he will be invited making 16. This is a steady plain as day basher tribe.
Tribe B has 12 bashers. They are invited to a tribe consisting of 18 members. This is a 30 member tribe in which more than half are not bashers. They are simple, lowly recruits. Let's call them Tribe C. Tribe C and B are allies. Tribe C has a name in line with Tribe B. Tribe C is told who to recruit by Tribe B. Tribe B can take members from Tribe C when it wishes. Tribe C is protected by Tribe B. Tribe B will end relations with tribes threatening Tribe C. THIS IS AN ACADEMY TRIBE.

After we destroyed Storm and we looked to destroy Bunny for their consistent recruitment into our territory, we were considered gangbangers as Wobble was already attacking them. People thought of us as a tribe of wimps.
Again, they predicted our imminent fall.
Finally, now we have the attack of the Kraken-Ninja alliance to try to bring us down while we were concentrating our resources on the bunny front line. We pushed everyone back and all three tribes have since then crumbled, but yet again people still call us huggers.
We are still a tribe that has and will be the failing tribe.
[/spoil]
Who were strorm :icon_neutral: I don't know, some noob tribe probably not even worth noting. I wouldn't even bring up the bunny war to be honest it's just gonna lead to more bad press that is justified against Yarr and to say you "destroyed" them is very arrogant. The 2 "Top" tribes should have dismantled them considering their positions. You did not. You jumped on them after wobble to get easy growth, nothing to do with recruitment in your area. Jumping on the gangbang and failing, miserably. Probably more to do with Bunnies skill rather than Yarrs lack of it so we can leave it there.
Coming along to Kraken, a poor rim tribe who should have been easy food with no co-ordination. Let's forget about them huh?
Ninjas are still here, they are just hiding under your tribes flags. Arg and Yarr. Proud as punch to have survived and sitting in the top family on this world. Ready to run to the next tribe that threatens their existence.
So 1 out of 3 effectively and not even worth mentioning.

Again and again and again, we are called out to be a tribe that would fail and again and again and again, we prove everyone wrong. Whatever people think of us, we will always always just be having fun inside the yarr battle ship. We enjoy how we play, and we sure as hell enjoy what we are doing. We especially enjoy how other tribes crumble at our feet when we decide to raid them for booty.
[/spoil]
Eventually you will fail, I'm certain of it. You are a family tribe consisting of known runners who have zero loyalty to your "battleships" Whether it is in the next 2/3 month I can't say. However I know one day Wobble
Will turn on you and when that time comes the only tribe crumbling will be Yarr/Arg. Toss a few southern tribes in their and those odds of survival grow even slimer and time length, shorter.
SplittingHeadache Happy Christmas, hope you don't get too cold while posting on these fine forums. It warms my heart to read such nonsense from such an entertaining
"Yarrian" . Keep up the good work. If I don't see ya through t' week I'll ya through t' window. Much Love.
