I am a member of the PDM leadership council and thought I should comment on this. Obviously Hudsun was not a fan of the merger, but unfortunately you can't please everyone. I believe this merge is in the best interests of both PDM and D*D.
As to B.I.A, there is a vocal minority (Hudsun being one of the primary ones) who wish to war against them. There have been a number of clashes on the border but from my perspective I saw nothing to indicate outright hostility from B.I.A as a whole. PDM has never been afraid of war, but we also haven't enter into it lightly either. In my previous role as PDM war minister under Ben, I was actively involved in the planning and execution of both the Union and OT wars so understand the requirements for war. I personally don't believe its something you should jump into lightly.
In regards to the comments over FF, PDM has never had any clashes with FF, and I believe has no cause for concern over them.
I proved to several council members that one of the BIA members sent a attack on a PDM member before he went abonden. And last I checked scouting is an act of war, or did someone not leave me a memo? So if that isn't hostility I would like to know what is....
Several members of PDM were scouted, several villages of PDM before they went abonden were stacked, or were stacked after they went grey. Then either BIA gets it, or a small very small tribe BIA is assisting gets it.
To me as my oppinion yah I have had problems with BIA. BEN..YES BEN!!! Made it known to me, when I nobled a BIA village I was on my own. But that was my choice....He also told me that if they retialited i would have been on my own. But I can promise you this, if ben was still the main man in charge. PDM would be at war right now, not running away hiding in D*D. I have lost all respect for my tribe...
Yeah Several members had said we are not a family tribe, but we went off and joined one. Which I find nothing wrong, yah we did it so we could survive.
Prediction for PDM:
All those people in the south of K43, going abonden. PDM lagging to catch up. Or they will join another tribe if they are smart. I highly suggest all those in the South K43 get a large attack force, alot of nobles and find a cluster. Or join another tribe.
PDM can not go south due to horde, can not go east due to CA. North is way far for the Southern K43 as D*D is right above us. West was our best option. So PDM can use any excuse they want, cause either way it is an excuse for not doing the right thing. Cause there were even members who didn't have a rocky relationship who wanted war.
Do not get me wrong I have always had a lot of respect for D*D, and the Horde. But as I said before
Instead of standing up for what they believe in, we ran away with our tail stuck between our leg's.
