Mea had literally hundreds of mails to people all over the place, if not more...
She once said to me: 'I see TW as a nice chatbox, where you can have fun talking to other people and from time to time you send some attacks and noble a few villages'.
To her, nobling is not the main goal of the game. Neither is being high on the rankings. She has had plenty of nobles to take the rank 1 position in the past, yet she didn't. Not due to inactivity, but merely because she didn't feel like it.
She has had IRL business and difficulties, which were known to STORM leadership, all those messages are available to you also, hence the being less active for a certain amount of time. Yes she nobled barbs, either directly or indirectly. Have you ever wondered why? Have you ever considered the option that she didn't do that because she was afraid to attack other players, but instead because she doesn't like hurting player's feelings by nobling them out?
Yes, she nobles a lot of barbs. Now tell me. Why even ask her to stop doing that? She was using the villages she gained and the troops she gained to support tribesmates, and whenever anyone, either VOID or STORM, needed support, they could always come to her. I dare claim that there is nobody in VOID who has supported as many different players as Mea.
Yes her account is mostly defensive, so she doesn't gain a lot of ODA, she doesn't participate much in tribe mass attacks, and she can't help with many nukes. That's her style of play. Defensive. That's her own choice, isn't it? Do you really think that a tribe that needs to tell their members which villages they can take and which they can't take, and also how their off/def ratio should be, is a good tribe? I'd say it's a tribe with either such pathetic members that they can't think for their own, or they're a tribe where the leadership is one huge control freak that simply refuses to let their members play the game the way they play it best.
I have seen Mea defend against masses where most of your members, if not all, would run and hide... I have seen Mea outgrow everyone in the area. I have watched Mea play and become top 5 players in literally every single world she plays. She never gets taken out early. She never get's nobled or needs a second try. She barely ever plays with a co-player. And the very few times she didn't gain a top 5 rank, she would at least have plenty of nobles to be top 3.
Now if she can achieve all that, and still take out any player she wants to take out, and defend against any mass she wants to defend against... Are you the one to tell me she was not an addition to your tribe 'because she nobled barbs'?
I don't know if you've noticed, but I've nobled about 70 barbs as well since I joined the account. And guess what: those noblings are the reason that the pathetic mass attack from VOID/STORM members is currently walking against bricks of defence. The good cluster and high amounts of defence make it very easy to move defence and kill the approximately 80 nobles that your tribes have sent. Perhaps you guys should noble some more barbs, so you could defend a bit easier...
Oh and lastly, just something for laughs:
I know that a noble train should consist of 4 nobles, but is this really the way to do it?
