As part of TKWSN for a long time, I believe they were a plucky tribe who stood strong against some much larger tribes and held their head high in this. From time to time with attacks coming from all angles defensive builds was the only strategy which also meant internalling and barb nobling was the only option for long term survival, however, TKWSN saw the passing of several larger tribes and only recently really fell on tough times.
I can still say I enjoyed my time with TKWSN and I truly regret its passing, however, this world is starting to warm up now and as more people find it may be easier to expend energies on other worlds to build themselves up I see a calm as everyone races to eat up inactives, clean up core areas and then start to prepare for the end game
just my two pennies worth
