Again, good points Adz. What it comes down to is weighing the pros against the cons, and right now, the cons heavily outweigh the pros of merging with P-Ctrl, at least in my opinion.
As for your points:
1. Wars can do that as well, and this way you don't have to put up with the chance of recruiting poor players into your tribe.
2. We know which members of P-Ctrl have potential. It is a heavily lopsided tribe, where there are several bigger members, mostly ex-Fremen. Warnpeace himself is over 1/8 of the points in a tribe made of 39 people. We offered those with potential a spot in our tribe. They either accepted (zombe), declined and stayed in P-Ctrl, or sought out a third option (Ghalen joined ChoCho).
3. Again, winning wars does that as well.
4. Weak players are still pretty easy to noble out in a war.
So in a merge, you usually take in the leaders and the better players.
-The leaders were the ones to backstab us by begging for help and then recruiting everyone as soon as the tide changed.
-The better players were already given an opportunity to join us. They chose not to. We don't want players who already showed they don't have loyalty to us, although we don't hold anything against them for their decision either.
-The remainder all seem to be small, weak players. I know they are on the rim, but I've seen, time and again, some of the biggest, strongest players rising out of the rim to rival those who asserted themselves early in the core. They've had more than enough time, yet remain to be small and weak.
