I am usually not one to write in forums but will this time around...
First I am all for this rule, there have been way to many worlds on the US server won by "Diplomacy". I have also played the EN server and the idea of competition is much stronger over on that server with better full range game strategies. Unfortunately the time differences make it extremely challenging for north and south american players, IMO.
The "Strategy" of allying the top 2 or 3 top tribes then beating down all the noobs, finally merging then patting yourself on the back for a well earned victory is a complete joke. If you have an alliance with the top 2 tribe with a "Plan" to merge later you are a hugger, Dont give me I have bash points. I have been in mega tribes and Know all the BS bash points people pick up.
So let's face it fellow americans we want the EZ, fast and lazy way to win then think we are some great person for doing so even in an online game.
They took away the EZ so you want real completion start attacking the their top players and don't give me they are friends, if so go play farmville and have all the buddies you can handle.
Finally in regards to "J" world, peter pan claim is delusional if you read the forum from this world he claims early on that the Russian alliance are the underdogs. Also it just wasn't Russian tribes TTK wasn't for one I know I left because of all the hugging going on over their. Also not only did you align with 7 of the top 10 tribe, such underdogs, then instead of refusing enemy refugees and killing off the biggest enemy players, you invite them to join your tribe, thats a win? that a hard fought victory? I think Not!
Let the hating begin...
