Its been a month or so, when i posted this thread.
Things have changed a lot.
First
1) RX and Urban merged and formed STD. I predicted Urban would merge into RIOT.
2) Hate Declare on Riot.
3) ZOMBIE NAP with Riot. Later RIOT semi mergered into ZOMBIE.
4) LOVE is fomed out of RIOT.
5) Some members of HATE F. leave HATE F. and first formed a tribe RESIST and later merged into PLAY.
6) ZOMBIE got 11 secrets.
7) STD declare on ZOMBIE.
Now i would add my story in this.
I joined Risharks(RIOT) on 30 October 2012.
When i join we were at war with ZOMBIE. I heard that HATE plan to declare on us. I contacted EQ to find out and convince her not to declare, it is not a good move for HATE. After RIOT would be gone ZOMBIE and HATE would fight it out for world dominance if HATE merge RIOT, HATE+RIOT can war ZOMBIE together.
Than i find out that merger talks were held, RIOT wanted a new tribe with 50/50 members and HATE just wanted selective recruitment of 10-15 members. Now HATE merged 2 semi rim tribes into them and they were not willing to merge riot. I believe it was due to boarder agreement between HATE and ZOMBIE, but they can end that alliance respectfully with an alliance termination notice (normally known as grace period). I talked to rednecks that RIOT cannot one front well let alone 2 fronts, so we need to accept a reasonable deal with hate. We cannot stick with riot name, their are handful of original members left who were in the pre-made, it is not the tribes but members that are important. He told me to stay out of this.
Now when HATE declare on 31st Oct 2012 i thought it would be a tough fight and it looks difficult that we would survive, but out of the blue we got NAP with ZOMBIE. On 31 October Urban and RX merged and formed STD as well, so they were ranked 4th in the world. As the war begins people started leaving RIOT, at that time a semi merger with ZOMBIE was worked out and we joined ZOMBIE.
After the semi merger RIOT obtained 11 secrets so the world thought that Zombie is about to win so they declare on ZOMBIE. STD declare on ZOMBIE and HATE were sent invitation and they joined as well. So STD war begins. HATE joined the deceleration but did not participated and kept the alliance Since HATE did not join and STD did not plan well no pre stacking was done so std suffer losses ZOMBIE really did well. The group of members that left RIOT for STD joined ZOMBIE and ZOMBIE become more stronger.
I get amazed, why hate did not join that war. Maybe HATE leadership can give the reason. For me their is no strategies reason not to declare. An Alliance that has to be dropped at the end game or with a grace period, why would u keep that till the end game, while the other tribe(future opponent) is making so much stride forward. The more u delay the stronger the other tribe become. As I suggested in my first post the quality of players in ZOMBIE was already quite good and far better than hate or RIOT. Both of them need to coordinate and take down ZOMBIE, but i think HATE leadership did not understand a simple logic.
but i guess resist made a mess with HATE.their decision to leave hate and form resist was a bad one for hate. But whatever the reason was, I still do not understand why HATE is not fighting ZOMBIE, while Play and STD are their. If they are gone it would be a lot harder to win W61.
I understand that u have an alliance with ZOMBIE but, an alliance works if it is benefiting both tribes, currently it is benefiting ZOMBIE more.
these are my thought and opinion.
