Clarification
Well, lets clarify what happened here. As I was in XXX-3 at the time, been playing about 9 years and saw this kind of stuff happening.
XXX thought points and players would win our battles. You could look at tw stats and find atleast 4+ members COMPLETELY inactive within each tribe.
They stretched way to thin, starting what was it? 3-4 wars? Before 65% of the tribe was even ready. Than, when the war with BOOM did come, they REFUSED to let me post some OP's and actually strategize for the battle at hand. They decided free nobling was the smartest course to take.
Their clustering, recruited way to many people, way to close to each other and never stopped. (I was even thinking of leaving XXX and taking them out of my cluster by myself, due to my positioning) There is no wonder why BOOM decided to take the easy bait.
Last mistake that comes to mind atm, when she did initial account sits, they kept tabs on everybody's troops and *forced* everyone to get to a 2:1 troop point ratio. Which seemed great at the time, After I was elected squad leader, account sitting my sqaud. I found they were lying about their troop count because the leadership simply got lazy.
That's all there is to it, they just got comfy and slowed down on everything.
