Rather than do a load of half arsed comments on tribes, which really would let people gain anything from this thread, I only did the top 10 tribes that I know about.
1 THE -> Good tribe. I've had talks with their leaders and are pretty good. I've been friends with Spleen Mage for sometime and their personas are good. Nice to chat to, aggressive and strong as a tribe. Their pnp presence is really good aswell thanks to JPohlman and AK_Iceman.
2 boo! -> Poop. They mass recruited at the start, they have an awful leader and awful forum presence.
3 HAM!!! -> Pretty good, gone a bit quiet as of late. I'd like to see them actually go to war, them winning a war would secure respect from me! Bloodhood is a good leader for them, I wish them the best of luck.
5 BD -> Solid players. They are the most skilled in this world individually, but I hear their community wasn't that good and some of the players don't get on too well. They will go far, but how far is dependant upon how they can hold together. I would class them a bit like world 26's n00bs - who died due to inactivity. n00bs had the best players, but just didn't have the community of tribes such as Pills. What I hear isn't for sure, but it's fairly reliable!
6 [CRY] -> Pretty good tribe, good recruitment and decent forum presence; I have a lot of respect for these guys.
9 TARDIS -> Allow me to take this chance to explain a little bit about our rise in numbers. As a lot of ppl here know, Zalt went inactive on the former top 15 tribe B-NaNa. In their tribe, they functioned best with Zalt as a leader and with nobody obvious to turn to help with, they contacted us asking for help in the form of a merge - which I had talked to Zalt about before should issues arise. TARDIS had neither the space nor capacity to take all of them on board as a full house simply isn't how we roll atm, but we had to do something. So, we did the idea of a half merge with a NAP with some of the other B-NaNa members.
Apart from this, TARDIS is an active tribe who imo are better than most of the other top 20. We certainly have edge on them with coordination and in our only war so far, we brought S-S oblivion.
10 DECIDE -> 50:50 tribe. They don't really warrant the top 15 position that they currently have, but they have some good players and I have a lot of respect for their leader. They are strong in K35, but a coordinated attack from REBORN would most likely beat them.
