Not quoting my opinion at least on that as I stated, just of others who know you. I don't personally know you or ever played with you so I can only really go off what they say.
My personal opinion, I find this thread in poor taste. Of course I cannot say I agree with the decision to approach you, it is not something that I would do. I only really approach people outside the tribe for recruitment if I know them very well personally for a multitude of reasons. That said, the idea of attracting the attention of potential talent within the area and asking them to consider joining your tribe in order to bolster your member-base has been a thing since time immemorial and is a perfectly valid way of conducting recruitment. So I do not understand what you are trying to make fun of or what the point is other than general attention seeking, which validates what I have heard about you from others.
I would disagree with the general point that the Lick Family (assuming they were good enough) could not actually maintain more than one continent at this point in time. On the contrary, assuming an 80 member limit, they could take over all four continents at the same time, assuming they were that much better than their opposition. Taking over a continent with 20 players is easily doable, it can be done with 10-15.
