I think that the merged Envy is the first tribe on W48 that has made me sit up and take notice.
Let's have a look at some other ratios that TW doesn't calculate directly, but are typically good indicators.
The first is villages / member, ranked best->worst in the top 4 tribes.
Envy: 39 villages, 31 members = villages per member 1.25
TITAN: 130 villages, 115 members = villages per member: 1.13
BYON: 48 villages, 44 members = villages per member: 1.09
Azura: 123 villages, 117 members = villages per member: 1.05
Now, let's look at the size of SECOND village for the top 10 players (highlighting tribes with more than one entrant.)
Xtreme Terror: 3418 (Envy)
SunSin: 3093 (Next)
KnoD35: 2427 (BYON)
peateargriffon: 2275 (TITAN)
Katis: 1869 (TITAN)
The Uber Luberz: 1780 (Envy)
SSpro: 1678 (TITAN)
jinsl888: 1671 (tribeless, recently left TITAN)
allgoodmen: 1477 (TITAN)
SmashnGrab: 1471: (SFE)
Envy and Titan feel well-matched here - Envy have the 1st and 6th place, but TITAN have 4, 5, and 7.) Of course, some explanation from jinsl888 on why he went tribeless would help inform here.) Notably absent from this ranking are Azura :-(
I would say that the PnP status of the merged tribe is still up in the air as far as I'm concerned - Envy have, by far, the most ACTIVE forum presence, but I wouldn't say that it shows off the tribe in a consistently positive light Neither managing the complete in-your-face "we don't care" attitude of Alex (Auskilla), Anarqy, ImmortalSmurf nor the professional "nice" approach of Robi (Zmaj) or Tracey (QueenAphrodite), nor the intellect of ISE/Jarkku. Of the Envy players, Kevin stands out as the best poster to me, but there seems little in the way of CO-ORDINATED APPROACH PnP from the tribe.
Overall, though, one to watch - I would expect them to rise in the rankings, with Azura being the obvious faller in the short-term.
