Fair Questions,
OK ill address your points in sequence since you formatted them so well, much appreciated:
First: We have turned over a number of players throughout earlier in the world, they have just been replaced keeping our membership pretty consistent, much higher turnover than 5% i think until the real late game. the last 8 weeks has been a pretty chill cruise no offence to the couple of WIN players actually fighting back, but when you have already won the world and just need to hit the required vil count there isnt much point internalling or getting rid of people, just kill whats left of the enemy.
Second: Yeah they are likely inactive and wont grow unless either bullied into coming back orrrr We have i think 1 or 2 people that have quit completely and is not responding on discord without co-ops, if you find them and start taking their vils we will just stack all their vils no problems, we are sitting on 3000 Villages worth of troops afterall.
Third: Pretty simple, people got bored and dont wanna keep taking vils... it COULD be explained with co-ops running out of slots but if thats a worry of yours i have no easy way to prove you wrong, i cant ask the account owner to msg in game cause that can be done by co-ops, and i could ask any random ass person to impersonate them on discord.
Forth: People go inactive in game, we all are in a discord together. So they will come back and play if they are needed, id say over half our tribe isn't really bothered to noble out whats left of the world and are just doing other stuff unless poked by someone in leadership to haul ass or the come under attack and get pinged on discord.
Fifth: I don't have a better explanation for these numbers other than his one of the best players around and has had this kind of growth in world since before Scripts were invented, would show you on TWtools but RIP that website...if you want to know how good he is just ask him in game im sure he would love to tell you in detail
. Your maths make some assumptions on farming and don't take into account how many res barbs just have sitting there in the late game when most people stop farming.
Overall: We are a groups of people who have played with each other for quite a few worlds now, It may be hard to believe but when you all know each other pretty well, its harder to just quit on your team-mates, especially when your winning.
As for scripts, I cant promise that they arent used because even as leader people can tell me they aren't using one and then just use it anyway. There is little way to stop it or be sure someone isnt unless they are one of those poor mobile only sods (looking at you Andraus XD). But generally speaking scripts arent as prevalent here as in En, so we have discouraged the use of them on our side pretty heavily, and other than a couple of people i think that has been pretty successful. If we were filled with scripters as much as some of WIN seems to think (having read those tribe chat messages) this world would have been over months ago, endless resources makes nobling with minimal to no resistance real easy.
Oh and Capt, if you have issue with some of the content matt and I are covering can u just PM us and get us to edit it out, because i think alot of the stuff here is good things to bring up and talk about. Would rather soft strokes over Sledge Hammers.
