I see you there now. I checked out each member of your tribe. And yes, i think both you, and the guy in second place in your tribe, would be very active players. No offence, but all the other players you have are... well inactive. Either completely, or nearly.
But yes, given your proximity to the rim, you have had amazing growth allready. At least as good as mine, perhaps even better.
And if anything, you were understating a bit. I think you said 4K points, and you are very near in fact to 5K. (well, if you count the second village, and i would).
So here is what i am getting at... i would like to find and join a tribe that is made up of players like you and your second ranked player. That is the "standard" i am looking for.
As for me speaking ill of IDK, i was honestly not trying to do that mate. But what happened was they offered a space for me, i checked them out and said they were not up to the standards i was looking for. They pressed the issue, insisted i explain why they were not. I explained.
I really wasn't trying to insult them.
About bragging for hurting a noobish tribe. Hmmmm, well, that really wasn't my goal, but i suppose i must admit to at least some vanity/pride. I'm sorry if that comes across in my writing. You're probably right, if i am going to pound on them, maybe i should do it quietly. But... there were some reasons, tactical reasons, why it was prudent for me to post.
