Yes, i was on the Rim too, basically joined a month since the World started, i haven't had any diplomacy decisions pre-made for this world so i was dumped in an unfamiliar territory, i've made contact with Jehzir and all my other comrades from EN06 and Wasn't happy about all the merges too, but as it wasn't my decision i couldn't do much about it, my options were joining you guys (EMR) and fight in the area i spawned, as i was surrounded by all of EMR players, i've witnessed the whole situation i was mentioning above, and yes i started to grow with new players that spawned around me, i took those players and formed a Academy tribe so i can teach and guide the new players, instead of treating them as a disease like your STD/EMR didn't like new players, you had your own Ego in mind, selfish, egoistic and lonesome players that were unorganized (not blaming you, really), i killed my share of small players too, obviously, its the Rim,but i didn't Advocate how "Better" or "Stronger" i am like yourself, everyone that was reading your profile (and you mentioned it here too) thought to himself, how full of Ego you are, and yes all the tribes had Ego players that played for their own agenda, but your tribe takes the Top.
You can add the numbers of tribes to any result you like, you still had a Fair chance to take down the whole SE zone with me in the middle (like i've said, surrounded), but you failed, yes, not you personally, but your tribe had no real "Tribal Skills" but Personal ones that didn't stand on the battle ground against an organized tribe.
And if you still think you made all the right choices regarding your Diplo in this world, not even one word out of me can change your opinion, but please stop selling the Rest of us those poor excuses that some mistreated you, or done anything you didn't do just weeks before that.
P.S
"Simply Stopped Playing a World" - give me a break, LOL
