In game shared forums do not make a family tribe, otherwise this would make this the first world where family tribes existed. Yet many would say familys existed before that.
Many tribes try to get away from the family tribe name, many would say BLOC was a family, they would argue they weren't. In my opinion they were because they swapped players around with each other. Simple alliances would not do this. For example CLOROX players took what they called vacations to other BLOC tribes and other BLOC tribe players did the same. This meant they all viewed each others forums ect...
But since none can agree i went to tribalwars wik for the answer, what is a family tribe. You can make uo your own minds then. But keep the debate off the forums.

Family Tribe: Often a group of tribes with the same, or very similar names. Usually includes the head tribe, and one or more academy tribes. This is simply done in an effort to circumvent the maximum tribe size limits in order to create mega-tribes.
Alternatively, some family tribes do not choose to use the same name, but in an effort to disguise their family tribe status from other tribes will form a consortium instead with different tribal leaders. The best way to tell if it is a family tribe is the absorption of other tribes in the family in an effort to maintain their image. An example of this was the THE to TRE merge in world 8.
Well there we have it folks:icon_wink:
Anyhow, this isnt world 8 and players should probably get off this topic since its never going to be agreed upon and this is another world.
As for dragon, i actually went to INSO to ask to help them against BD and THE, they never approached us.
The stats are in THE's and BD's favour as expected at this stage with THE having the first strike. I'm sure it will even up over the next few weeks.
