What member of ANARCHY is a mod? This is news to me.
As for the merge issue. IMO anytime a player from one tribe movers to another whether it be application or poached invite that player merged into the new tribe. To get around the tribe merge rule players leaves tribe and becomes tribeless, where they then join the new tribe, there again "poached". A tribe merge is when every member moves en-mass. To get around this ORG had several tribes only send about 50% to 75% of players, which got them to 68.9%. All the others came after (days or weeks) when they left their tribe, becoming tribeless, then joining ORG as former ROK or former xxx tribe as individual tribeless players thereby skirting the 70% rule. Still a merge IMO.
But lets get our facts straight. STORM, after months and months of trying to stay neutral because our two allies (ORG and ROK) were enemies was given and ultimatum by ORG leadership at the time "join us or die" (paraphrased). Charles as leader finally had enough and STORM merged, yes merged en-mass into ROK with members of STORM Council become members of ROK Committee. However their were two Committee's in ROK the one we were in (having our input, which was ingnored). And a second behind the scenes Committee consisting only of Korean speaking members. Of the former STORM Council, for some reason, was the most trusted and became Head of Personal and was invited by PlatiumSoul to join a outside chat app called BAND which turns out to be the Secret Committee (opps their bad). Lots of behind the scenes info here of what was truly going on (opps, again their bad). When I was not given access to member list of inactive's, I knew then that I truly was not trusted and we had made a mistake. So I left and formed *A* ANARCHY, several others followed but most of former STORM members stayed for protection and tribe skill lvl. Dagda Mor, the Anarchist became ENEMY #1 for ROK and declared WAR. I followed suit. Many former members of STORM still decide to stay in ROK, because they thought they were safe. They found out other wise. ROK was dying by the day fighting on two fronts. That is when Dark-Temple (big coiner) decided to merge ROK into ORG to save himself and because ROK could not win fighting both ORG and *A*. As Paul Harvey used to say "And that is the rest of the story"
