Nice breakdown daredeviler
Here's my view of how the world is:
RPM are mass recruiting and will fall within the next 2-3 months due to lack of co-ordination and members failing to support eachother, by recruiting so many members they've painted a huge target on their back, as everybody wants to be number one, I expect they'll be at war with the top 5 within the next month or so, it took them 8 hours to offer Big Fish an NAP or Alliance, which we respectfully refused.
WAR!, I thought these guys were following the same path as RPM, however they've surprised me and have cut down at 55, this is good management and it's something I can respect, I will be watching these guys closely as they could be contenders.
IMP: I don't know too much about these guys but they look to be in good form, I guess it depends on how well they can work together, we shall see what stance they decide to take, whether they ally with tribes early or ignore recruitment.
BIG: Well obviously I am the most qualified to talk about these guys, they're my tribe on en7 and en13, we've brought quite a few members over from en7 who are experienced and very active on world 7, great teamwork and very loyal, we've also got some players from en12, a group of close friends so there's already a bond within the tribe, and this will be vital as time goes on, I believe BIG will hold onto the top 3 placement by skill alone, but we shall see how this works out, as daredevil said some of us are on two worlds so this could make a difference.
Roma: These guys have an open tribe, absolutely no restriction on entry and has given recruitment rights to every single member, these guys are a not so successful clone of RPM and shall fall by disloyal members.
I'm hoping more tribes will shape and more members join so we get a very active top 20, I want this world to be a fighting one.
