My tribemates e2ekiel, april and Todsmith, as well as our allies and friends who've offered comments have done a fine job of highlighting all the points. There isn't much more to add here, but a few simple facts may suffice.
RavenBlack and Acrobat both know that at several different times over the last 6 months we offered them a partnership. But the choice was made repeatedly to stay out of conflict and be at peace. Myself and several in my tribe made it VERY clear that a decision would have to be made about what the future of their tribe would be. And that all of their members were counting on THEM as leaders to do what would be necessary to help them survive.
Either of you can have any philosophy you want about a "fun" way to play Tribal Wars, but to take the leadership role of 90 players and deceive them into thinking that you would help them, and protect their interests, is hard to understand. All of that time those players could have learned what fun it is to battle other players over territory. To share a forum with another tribe for a common purpose. But they weren't given that chance because the decision was made to be simply watch others fight, conquer barbs, and sit on the sidelines. And just as we have said since January, the fight would eventually arrive on your doorstep, and whan that day comes who will you call to for help? There will be no one, because you have not built a partnership through teamwork and cooperation.
Yes, of course your support during a particularly challenging time against *SD* was appreciated. Why do you think for all this time we've allowed our tribes villages to exist on each others doorstep? There was plenty of time to build on that initial gesture and friendship, but all we've ever heard from you is, "No, we will not fight them". (Whoever 'they' might be at any given time).
And just so the record is straight about what the spark in this conflict was - One of our smaller players (49 villages) decided to take out one of your small players in his territory (6 villages). We did not have an NAP in effect, as it had been discarded weeks prior. So, he attacked and conquered, which is what tribes trying to win the game do.
Instead of looking at yourselves and thinking, "Maybe we need to change our approach and do what it takes to be friends with these guys", you simply sent 1500 attacks at this player from lots of your tribemates. Did you think we would allow this? What could you possibly have believed would be the result?
Each player and each tribe eventually live out the consequences of their individual and collective choices. It is one of the remarkable aspects of this game. There is no getting around it. Your tribe for as long as I can remember has chosen to avoid conflict and hug other players. Our tribe since the change in leadership back in January has had one goal and one goal only - to fight. We could see back then that there was only one other tribe that was like us in our area, and that was Ego. So, we chose our true partner and away we went.
Considering the above and the the title of the thread, how is it even possible that it wouldn't have come to this.
