Jorge,
I"m not putting words in your mouth. What your saying is "stop nobling barbs and let us kill faster" thus roll over and die, atleast to the players who are mass nobling and losing villages at the same time.
As for my account, your right I've not taken villages off of ND, and I've got a lot of internals villages/barbs. Most of the barb nobling happen when I wasn't actually playing the game and a friend took over for a short time, and the internals happening because of other reason. I don't need to have high OD to be useful to my tribemates. I promise you I'm doing more then "sim city". I'm one of the reasons ND hasn't had an easy time just stream rolling certain players.
Michael Corleone,
Are you the same Michael I played with in w23 or 42? if so why are you still stocking me? If not then sorry for the mistake and see above message to Jorge about my account.
Vilja,
Credit to ND for not recruiting to victory more then they already have. They did take in 9 strong players off of T-meat to boast their stats and end that war front but then again them 9 player claim they weren't happy in tmeat and where looking for a new home anyways. And it was a smart move by ND as it allowed them to break the northern front wide open.
As far as convincing current members, I'm not sure if that would happen or who'd they would convince, but hypothetically speaking, if they managed to pull in the top 12 players of hyenas that would be roughly 20% of the world dom so add that to their 48% and your at 68%, getting the last 2% would be pretty easy at that point.
As for the top 12 of ARM member, yeah it might be easier to pull them in and then eat the rest of their members but that would only get them 10% at most, and hinder front line activity against hyenas.
I'm just saying mathematically they could win in the next month or so, IF they really wanted to and where able to convince the right players. But to the best of my knowledge ND hasn't put the effort to do so, and seem to want to drag it out/do it the "hard/fun" way.
