Obey - Divide and Conquer Champions of the world written by Nest

[THE MURPH ALL CAPS]

Divide and Conquer

Spoiler: definition

Divide and rule (or divide and conquer, from Latin dīvide et īmpera) in politics and sociology is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. The concept refers to a strategy that breaks up existing power structures, and especially prevents smaller power groups from linking up, causing rivalries and fomenting discord among the people.[1]

The strategy has been used in war and politics since the ancient times. Used by Romans to conquer Gaul or Macedonia, used by Mongols in conquering central Asia, Used by Bolsheviks and Joseph Stalin in 1920’s or by Nazis for seizure and consolidation of total power by the National Socialist German Workers Party. The basic principle of the strategy in War-Politics when facing a united opponent is to divide the enemy, and then attack the weakest part and then use the propaganda and intimidation to divide further the remaining parties. The strategy is highly successful as long as there is a little crack on the opponent so a wedge can be used starting the division.

Divide and Conquer in TW

Some of you might be already guessing where I am going with this. Tribal Wars is no different to the real world and divide and conquer has been used since the beginnings of time.

In recent history we had a great example of how effective the strategy was and how swiftly a tribe can conquer and dominate the world without having to fight much.

For those of you who didn’t play W80 Gents was the tribe that got people talking for months. They were well organised under the command of Brad (thin Blue Line) and very quickly they grow from a small size outer core tribe to a monster devouring everyone on its path.

The world’s settings of 80 member limit were the perfect conditions for Gents to use Divide and Conquer. They would intimidate tribes offering merges and recruitment for several best accounts while eating all the rest. They would grow fast interning a lot of inactive accounts moving from tribe to tribe and no one could stop them. But with all their glory Gents created unbelievable amount on hate. Externals were fuming; people and tribes soon united in a front and Gents break down under heavy pressure and internal issues.

Divide and Conquer on W90

TEA Obey has started a little bit differently to Gents with so much stronger roster, solid leadership and more rim-like starting location. struck-through Obey has adopted the same Divide and Conquer strategy and they have mastered it to perfection now to the point where Al murph Nest could write a guide based solely on his tribe’s doings.

In summary

As you can see TEA Obey is always in search for weak and disloyal members willing to sell their tribe and being recruited by Nest. He has tried it with members of Infamy Escape as he knows well that is the only way he can gain advantage. I am sure he is trying to have spies in BiP WET and he has them in 2HARD DEFY. Al Nest will scheme, divide, recruit, internal and repeat until he gets his win.

I have to say the strategy is very effective, but if you recruit people who are willing to betray their tribe are you not worried they will one day abandon you? You recruited some spies, liars, turn cloaks and cowards adding them to a group of great players you had from the start. Half of your team if not more is made out of good, respectable, decent players. Don’t you think they would one day wake up and say, wait a minute; it is not the premade tribe we signed up for? To win for all cost is actually making me feel uneasy.

I just hope I opened your ayes to what TEA OBEY really is:

I couldn't have put it better myself.

cool thread

the fact that you still don't seem to realize that nest hasn't even been duke since like 2 weeks ago now does a nice job of illustrating just how irrelevant you are

It's funny cause I knew someone would make that ridiculously irrelevant comment. It doesn't matter who the leader is, what does matter is that Obey are doing exactly what he ridiculed others for doing.

It must be disgusting to see your own tribe turn into something he spoke oh so passionately against.

Honestly Al is not wrong here. Read Nest's words then actually open your narrow eyes and see the obvious similarities to what Nest has ridiculed in the past. It is still his tribe even if they aren't directly his actions.

 

[DeletedUser117534]

Al if you can't see a differences between TEA and Obey and Yourself and Me then whatever I say won't persuade you. But there is a huge difference in our approach to recruitment. Do you want me to compare our recruitment stats vs TEA? With 47 tribal changes we don't seem to be best in merging and recruiting. Pinching from Escape, you're delusional
You have been very salty to remember and quote some posts from A year ago. I guess the truth of that post hurts you a lot.

 

[DeletedUser]

You are missing out on great players like me by not recruiting yourself rim family tribes. Nest, you have a lot to learn from Al.

The post isn't really about mass recruitment, more about selective recruitment used to destroy any threats that the tribe in question might have. This done many times would of course lead to mass recruitment, however as a tactic it really only needs to be employed when threats to your tribe are beginning to look a little too strong.

so what you are saying is escape/wet have done this many more times than Obey. I agree 100%

^^ This Ftw...Like You guys are making yourselves look worse. Its bad enough I just TOLD you that the evidence is there and you still try to make OBEY out to be the one with a mathematical problem.

So where in the 308 tribe changes between WET & Escape when added together was when you guys said we arent doing this to try to secure our "backside"(clean version) for a win aginst OBEY? and now they are wrong for picking up a couple?

Like the selective recruitment you used to merge WLDD into Escape before you went to war? Oh wait - you took just about anybody. Yikes! Never mind just disregard this post. I don't think you understand how this recruitment thing is supposed to work lol.

Who did we recruit? I am extremely selective on this world and probably the most strict of any tribe on the world bar none.

 

[DeletedUser120160]

Escape have to recruit as not a premade with 1800 players on each account and over a million dollars spent on pp.

At this point in the world, with the advantage they have, anything other than all out war from Obey is just cowardly.

Everyone else is just trying to even the score. Even with the coalition we are still the underdogs and so need to use every trick in the book to level the playing field.

If Obey want to win this world with any pride they should do it solo with the players they have. Only recruitment should come from players left from wars they have won.

Just my humble opinion on the matter

You are severely underestimating the power of the rest of the world with this, and overestimating OBEY's advantage. what a pity
