100+ villages in just over a week against a very respected core tribe...proof to ourselves and W26 we're no mugs (your own opinion probably different) and also a lesson that when allied you should communicate better.
So all in all 3 valuable lessons. We're a tribe in our own right as well. Sure BUL are a solid ally for any tribe and we share a border with them but we have our own aspirations too.
I understand why you are cynical about me suggesting it has been a success...we feel it has in the bigger picture. As for logic....logically a closely knit tribe of active players are bound to push on. We admitted the [SBN] players who proved themselves as well.
Logic isn't a problem for us. We're stronger now...we have K74's northern villages. This game is about consolodating, building and preparing and pushing on again. Which we did when people didn't expect it.
Seems that the southern tribes whether it be BUL, ourselves or now SM are easily dismissed by those closer to the core. I actually consider all 3 tribes to be top contenders...BUL no longer need any endorsement as a top tribe. And i know that will be met with more cynical comments but if you're not in it to win it then why bother!
Respect your opinion though warham and i read your posts on here with interest as i have done for months now. Hopefully one day we'll get to cross swords (if you include them in your attacks :lol
