pokemon you do know they have this thing called twstats right? use it some time. Vodka Mixed nobled far more then 3 barbs, he has 8 pages of them. however in BS unlike bush, we have no per say no barb at all rule. however we do have a no nobling under 5 point barb rule. we also from time to time check and see what the tribe members as a whole are doing. its called actually running a tribe, mike should try that some time. Vodka Mixed was asked to mix in actual player towns with barbs more, his response was to begin taking the 3 point towns listed in twstats(you may want to start using that). when mailed about that as it was against tribal rules, he told the council it was none of their business. so he then became none of the tribes business, as he was shown the door.
none of this is rare on tw. most tribes will not recruit players that noble 3 point barbs, as it is seen as wasteful and frankly useless. even during start stages of worlds. there are cases for it, and if so the players are then mailed to ask why. if their answer is much like Vodka Mixed then they are shown the door in tribes. in some cases such as bush, they have no barb at all rules. jeff himself should know that as he was on that council of that tribe. and during his time on the council of that tribe, bush players where booted from the tribe for breaking that rule. some that where in bush far longer then jeff himself, but the council had rules. rules can be changed over time, if enough people in the tribe want them changed, but just ignoring the rules in place gets you what you have seen. just as it got the bush players that broke jeff's council rules what they got. and these rules are far less harsh then back then.
