How can you possibly be saying this? First of all at the start of the world contra was rated as the best tribe in the world assuming people rated because of the leadership group.
The only thing crimsoni and his staff have done right, was stick with inexperienced tribes and get rid of AimLow.
After that part, they got the other things wrong.
GOML should have been declared on while using BwQ.
Right after Aimlow was done GOML needed to go, to prevent contra from being suffocated by GOML and their noble claims. So instead of NS getting the war spoils from GOML, contra would have had that area pretty much secured while they would have BwQ on the other half of the continent. NS would have had it a lot tougher as Contra would be the one on the front foot.
Nap with MoM should have been changed to an Alliance.
This needed to be done around the nobling stage with some guidelines set in stone, like a simple border of where each tribe can and cant noble with the usual guidelines between two allies. Everyone knows MoM doesn't play a big factor in this world so Crimsoni should have used them to his advantage making them a "meat shield" while they still played. So all the focus would be put into south K55. This means that those dumb Anon recruits should have never been taken in which would mean they would most likely been MoM villages. Which would also mean Apathy wouldn't have been near Contra making it a rather safe backline.
Recruiting Randoms without any research.
During the early stage contra recruited who ever asked to join and thats how their forums got exposed and their reputation ruined, making them a laughing stock pretty much, their recruitment needed to be a lot lot better and it needed to make sense rather then having members in 6 different continents at one stage. They should have kept it within K55 and done when it could be seen that players know what they are doing. Eg Few GOML recruits (to get prepared faster for NS).
To me the above stuff is pretty much why contra is failing, which also tells me that Crimsoni has done a terrible job at leading the tribe and instead of being a "feared" tribe, they are pretty much being food. (can be seen from their losses everyday).
So "Crimsoni and contra staff" were/are well overrated instead of underrated. I am rather surprised with the lack of thought and research they have put in for the actions they have done throughout the world.
If you say they are doing great for not disbanding yet, well their core players are not being targeted and most of the other players don't have a place to go. I am sure if NS were to ask all the ex BwQ members to join them they wouldn't be thinking twice.Now if someone wants me to teach them how to be a good duke dont be shy to mail me
