Update #15
Where has the time gone?!?! This world started in mid January and now we are in mid April. The insults have never been sweeter and the drama ever so juicy. The battle? Dying down. Many things have happened over the past few weeks since the last update. Where do I start? Will I be censored?? Let's find out. You wanted an update and here it is. Let's hop into it! (You know cause Easter is around the corner.)
#1
RND. 5.8m points, 50 members, Tribe level 47 with their members holding 1063 villages an increase of 444 villages since last update. Due to some events that happened to their biggest competitor THC (which we will talk about later) RND was able to catch from fresh air and sigh of relief that maybe things were looking up for them. RND reclaimed most of what they lost to THC and even pushed THC's lines back a province across the board. With RND having free rein and no competition they were basically taking barbarians. Which funny thing is they are actually taking barbarian villages now. RIP seems to have gone away and is no longer very active. The Founder shield was even passed to Diesel D34. Well fought RIP. RND seems to have a pile of inactive players filling their ranks with only a hand full of players leading the charge. Will they have enough active players to win the world? THC doesn't seem to be going anywhere for them to get an easy win.

THC. 3.5m points, 34 members, Tribe level 45 with their members holding 669 villages an increase of 131 villages since the last update. THC never disappointing and always living up to it's name as "The Hated Crew". This Tribe has gone through a lot since the last update. It was mentioned on here previously but until you hear it on K World TV News it's probably inaccurate. THC's biggest members were hit with unfortunate biased attacks from moderators CaptC and his pawn Madmartigan (who we all know). I guess INNO had a massive shortage of applications in order stoop to hire these highly unprofessional and unethical people into positions that can cause damage to players and the community. Alas we had no control over this and this is only my opinion (unbiased of course). This led to 15 members of THC being outed. At this point in time THC had only 37 members so losing 15 really hit their progression hard dropping the member count to under 25 and landing on 22. THC's biggest players were all on the front lines so a vast void of villages now existed of players who were unable to defend themselves (No thanks to the moderators who even controlled active players troops in order to prevent THC from defending those who were outed). RND was on a massive losing streak prior to this event so they were quick to recap all that they lost and started taking villages from the defenseless. THC has now since held the line against RND and has been working behind the scenes to recruit more heavy hitters to refill their ranks. As you could imagine any Tribe that loses half of their members overnight will quickly lose motivation so some in THC went inactive and a few even switched to RND for a promise of an easier time. Those that flipped will be remembered as such and they were quickly met with swift vengeance from the remaining THC members. THC is slowly but surly regaining strength with it's newer members from HAT/BXS. This fight isn't over and there are still many villages to claim before a winner is declared. THC's leadership were among those that were outed leaving it's members in need of a new leader. I, Lulrawr, was honored enough to be trusted with the leadership position. It's the players of THC that really are keeping up the fight and should be accredited for THC's continued success despite it's unbelievably huge set back. THC has it's amazing allies to thank as well that saw this unimaginable event and worked to make THC refill it's ranks with active healthy players that still have that fight. THC is coming.
#3
HAT. 1.5m points, 36 members, Tribe level 36 with 350 villages a decrease of 43 villages since last update. HAT has been holding firm and working against RND and capturing villages from THC that were outed. HAT's village count is a little distorted since some of HAT's top players have moved to THC to continue the fight. Honor is among these thiefs.
#4
BXS. 1.2m points 36 members, Tribe level 13 with 299 villages. This Tribe hasn't been mentioned much but has remarkably been at the #4 position for the longest of time. BXS has been a proven thorn in RND's side and a formidable foe. This Tribe has stuck to their guns under the leadership of sleepingbear and have proven themselves to be hard to crack. Kudo's BXS you deserve this honorable mention.
Before we go to the bash update I just want to clarify some things. Even if members of THC were participating in what they are accused of this doesn't make what happened to them acceptable. Due to the small population of this world outing half of a top level Tribe overnight is highly uncalled for. There were better ways to handle the situation. This action has lead to the dynamic change in player activity and Tribe progression for the entire world. Not to mention it is widely seen as an overreach and abuse of Moderator's trust that INNO provides them with (by moving the troops of players unaffected and no wrongdoing to prevent them from supporting those who were outed). What these moderators have done impacted the game in such a way they needed to open a new Dom world before this current one finishes to keep enticing players to stick around. Those 15 highly active players that lead others in the community are not coming back. I don't blame them, I won't be coming back either. Those connections with players in other Tribes that they had, have lead to many players leaving the world. This action from CaptC was targeted, a highly unethical abuse of responsibility, no due diligence was conducted and no fairness was displayed. This has deeply hurt the TW2 community far more than the actions of a few had. Players can no longer trust those that are supposed to be referees. I don't condone violations but I strongly condone how it was handled and the conduct of the Moderators involved. Except Beezknees. She has been the only light in that dark pool of corruption. This is all I will comment on the matter. Enough drama. Time for bash!
Bash update!!

Sadly this is my last update post. Due to my leadership position in THC I can no longer give the unbiased reporting that K World TV News is known for. Someone else is more than welcome to continue where I left off.
Except Slaughter1234. He has already proven to be a terrible news source. Thank you all who have supported the news updates. I did them for fun and fun it was. I'm glad the community came together to show interest in the progress of this world up until recently. Just looking through other worlds forums posts this Thread has drawn in more attention then any other world at this stage and is on track to becoming the most trafficked thread in TW2 Forum history. Although with so many players who left over this situation it may start to dwindle. Thanks!
