My base post was merely a statement of where we were at the time, and what our intentions were going forward. It was not a "gloat."
gloat
[gloht] Show IPA
–verb (used without object)
1.
to look at or think about with great or excessive, often smug or malicious, satisfaction: The opposing team gloated over our bad luck.
If I continually posted stats like the set below, which illustrate your personal performance against INSO this past week, and I excessively made light of your misfortune, THAT would be gloating. But I'm not doing that.

Side 1:
Tribes: INSO
Side 2:
Players: CarieO
Timeframe: Last week
Total conquers against opposite side:

Side 2: 0

At the time of the post, we felt we had added the final pieces to our tribe. All of our friends were under the same tent and we were well positioned to finish the world without any additional recruitment. I offered no guarantee that all 60 players would remain active for the duration of the game. Rather, we fully expect some attrition. It is my hope that our activity level will remain high enough to efficiently clear the map of all reds.
When we dropped to 59 players, we did have a number of applications. All were rejected. Having 60 active players is no longer necessary to remain effective and achieve our goal of world conquest.
