Either way, we have also learned they are just seeking for attention coming to the forums doing a forum thread that at the end of the day will give them nothing else than "feeding their ego".
Again, I completely disagree.
Threads like this can be diagnosed as "attention seeking" threads, but only people who are ignorant of the effects public image can have on a tribe would be considering those types of thread as such.
Who looks bad in this thread? Not the creator, who is merely going out with a fight and demonstrating a good defensive ability despite fighting against huge odds. That only leaves one other party - the tribe failing to efficiently remove someone who they decided was not good enough for them to recruit.
Threads like this have a bad effect on public image, which in turn makes larger tribes seem less "impressive" or "dangerous". If tribes around Wobble were to see Wobble as having weaknesses in this thread, they would be seeking to exploit the weaknesses or capitalize.
It may give them directly nothing other than an ego feed, granted. But a purpose of a thread isn't solely to benefit the author - it's to influence the public against one party involved. Which this thread I believe has done a very good job of doing.
