This is not a moot point, it is the point. No matter how many vils TA takes it cannot possibly take enough before this world comes to a grinding halt. I dare you. Anyone from TA, give me an estimate about how long it will take before TA has 75% of the vils in this world? Based upon your own stats I would say that you're gaining roughly 1% a month. So, if you don't lose anymore big players, (A big If if you look at your activity stats), and you continue to gain, then it will only take about 4 years more, best case scenario, (realistically, more likely about 7 or 8),for TA to get to endgame. Does anyone, I mean anyone, really believe that we will still be playing W2 in 4 years? In 7 years???
I've got some of your leadership responding here. Of course its important for you guys to keep up a good front, but no one wants to to address the real issue. There is no chance that you guys will win this game. At this point this is simply a game of attrition. Once you lose a few more of your big inactives even your most die hard players will realize that its hopeless.
What is this talk about winning? In any game, the team that is winning is the team that is ahead. It really doesn't matter if the losing team is gaining, they are still the losing team.
As for playing the game right, I think that all of us have always played to win. I have played with some great players in the past who have left the game. They all have one thing in common. They will not be on the winning team.
