With due respect Ted you have no idea what you are talking about
TMS has not been active on the forum because his buddy in crime (Edvin) and others were banned.
It was all about the bant for TMS and as he just said, he didn't want to do it on his own.
Prior to INQ departure NOMADS was making the most progress on this world. Just because we were not posting it all over the forum does not mean it was not happening. We like the INQ players, posting on the forum always seems to upset everyone and end in bad feeling - we didn't want that.
However, it seems that if we do not respond to incorrect posts then it indicates there is truth in what was said - So it seems we now need to respond.
----------------------------------------------------------
INQ is a good tribe and we like them but the stats and the maps showed they were losing. NOMADS was making the best progress. We had the highest OBP and it was growing faster than INQ. We only had 5 players in the top 20 for DBP and our DBP had slower growth.
Our village count was increasing whilst INQ had recruited additional players to increase theirs.
Two players from INQ left and that was nothing to do with NOMADS it was to do with in-tribe arguing some of it to do with getting defence to front line villages. They posted an IG message setting out all their gripes, i am not going to repeat all of them on the forum but they were not happy and it was an eye opener about what was going on.
So yes we recruited those players. It was advantageous to give them our tribe skills as they were fighting INQ. Giving them Weapon Mastery/Iron Wall/Unity and Intense Training so that they could fight equally against INQ seemed like a good move. We knew it would keep them busy at the back whilst we attacked from the front. So that was a strategic decision and it was NOT the turning point. We were already winning. It was probably one of the final straws, unless one of the main players got banned - we don't know and probably never will know. It really does not matter now.
The former INQ players were nice and they were helpful - they offered us villages and easy access to the back of INQ so they became full members and part of our tribe.
This was going to be a long ass'd war and if things had continued as they were we would win but it was slow. I totally agree that this accelerated the progress, but as i have already said all the stats indicated a steady progression towards a NOMADS victory.
Both tribes fought well and fought hard but INQ's inactivity and the need for a small number of players to cover all bases eventually ate away at the determination of the active players and so they left. This type of thing happens all the time and happened to LTT before them.
INQ were good adversaries and a nice group of guys, but a winning tribe does not suddenly leave like that. They stay and fight and win.
Players are always happy to stay active in a winning tribe.

Ted, all worlds end this way. It always ends with one tribe having to get to the 80% or the required VP and it is usually on their own. We fully expected to get to this boring point in the game. Rarely do you find the losing tribe playing it to the very end so i am not sure what you mean by this comment.
We deserve this win because we worked hard as a tribe and we have good players.

I may be the only active player in INQ atm, so have fun eating inactives...maybe you deserve to win this way.
