Banana tribe disappointed me a lot. i tought they can do better than going MRT....i would be ashamed rly, after they got such a good rename from the other server now they just broke that
I'm not playing on this world but i am going to put my opinion forward anyway ....
NAN have been going for some time so they will accumulate friends/players who play with them regular. They are always going to be a big tribe.
They have started EN35 later than many of the other tribes that are now properly established. Recruiting to get additional troops fast is a tactic that was possibly needed. I don't think its anything to be ashamed of - its a valid tactic. Its not always a successful one, because it does bring problems if there is no discretion when recruiting. Hopefully they know who they are taking on. All tribes set off with ideas on what they are going to do. I doubt they started off thinking they would mass recruit if in fact they are mass recruiting.
In my opinion nothing within the rules of the game should be disregarded. The aim is to win, so a tribe should not ignore a solution to a problem, even if the solution is not popular. I've seen players grow stagnant and inactive rather than take a barb village on a world completely filled with barbs (EN26). I have seen tribes fail because they won't consider any other option but the one they originally set out with. Sometimes you have to make concessions along the way that don't always fit with the original plan. Sometimes you have to suck it up and do whats necessary if you want to win.
I don't know the circumstances for NAN on this world but i am prepared to assume that all options were considered. Its not against the rules so other tribes have the same option available to them. I have played against backstabbers, cheaters and liars; players who openly want to make a mockery of this game and the players who play it - those are the problem players not MRT's.
