not mass recruitment, as since we started at us we've built up many contacts as for new member today joe.dirt joined we know him from us3 too. if there is a spot free another friend joins the tribe. not random selection like you guys.
btw me is paper wings us3
Lol, this "random selection", you speak of, most of VA know each other from somewhere else. I, for one, played the same world as Obseleet? did, back in W21. Although we didn't know each other well, we were both a part of the w21 externals, and you know how it is with externals communties.
So tell me this. Why have two tribes if you fit in one? Seems like unnecessary separation to me? Having tribe problems, that you can't have everyone together? They're more likely to think independently and eventually break off.
This, was, like Richi said, a way to side-step the question. However, I'll answer that for you. VA! is a tribe in which we are teaching newer players, (that are willing to learn) how to play TW. Also, we aren't likely to think independently and break off, because we have a member of VA, (who also happens to be a friend of many players in VA) leading VA!.
way to side step the whole question.

Yet by pointing that out, you did the same thing.
I think people would be more interested in your answer, seeing as you are king of the world, than mine, a 300 point newb
If you insist, though:
Alliances are huge things. You don't ally with a tribe because their duke is funny, or because they have a lot of points. Allies should be people you have confidence your tribe can work with, and so should be entered into after much consideration. Thus, any more than 1, two TOPS are not true alliances.
The difference is in that alliance, each tribe is its own.
Academy tribes usually blindly follow the decisions and orders of the main tribe.
Hmm, think of it like this. Allies would be like the United States and the U.K., who fought battles and wars together several times.
Academy tribe would be like England and Scotland- Scotland is part of the U.K. because England said so
Like I, and others, have said. VA! is us teaching newer players.
lol a simple analogy, but if that is what you must focus on to discredit me so be it. Not the greatest, but I think you are proving my point
the scots don't like being part of the UK and are thinking about separating. Academy tribes often do the same thing. And VA may have been started by 3 people, but it had 11 members within 48 hours.
Really, what is the point of an academy tribe if they could all easily fit in one tribe? Enlighten me. I don't assume I know everything, but I do not understand this. It's good to see you guys advertise your tribe by insulting those who just ask questions. I don't think I threw down any insults, so I don't appreciate being called a "njub" whatever that is. Are you trying to say nub, or jug, or njb, or what?
*Prepares for flack about that last part* just trying to keep a light mood
VA may have gone from 3 to 11 members fast, but, if I'm not correct, Ole explained this already. Players he knew from previous worlds joined him.
I prefer basher.
a·cad·e·my/əˈkadəmē/
Noun:
A place of study or training in a special field.
So now you know the meaning of ACADEMY my friend? As I have know, Obseleet? has plans. That is to teach players here in .US how to be decent.
Exactly.
so have we now agreed that VA! is now Scottish ?
VA! isnt just a grab as many players as you can so we are all safe and own lots of the world kind of Acad,..
It is actually a way that we can slowly teach and show the correct way of troop building, attacking and Defending.
TW is quickly loosing players, I believe that it is due to those who are always top 10 on every world steamrolling over those new to the game.
VA! is a way we can pass everything we have learnt in a non rushed way. and hopefully increase the competition on this and other servers in the coming worlds.
Once again, Richi speaks the truth. TW had a lot more active members when I first started, back in January 2008. I've seen many new players be nobled, never to start again on a new world, which, honestly saddens me. The reason I enjoyed the game so much when I first started, was because I made friends with the big guy in my area, and he protected me, taught me, and helped me along. And, I will always be grateful for him for doing so. I learnt the concept of Nukes and D villages back in W5, Nobletrains, and a few other basics, which helped me improve. On W24, a few months later, I played alongside Daholla, who helped me perfect my nobletrains with opera, instead of sending my 4 sec iE trains. I also learnt the concept of backtiming and sniping there. Which helped me a lot. Although I did get kicked from V-V-V, (I wasn't as active back then, I had no co-player either) - I still wanted to keep playing, because I became good enough to hold my own.
There's my 2 cents, sorry if it's a bit long.
