Any barbs munched in the core were munched for one of two reasons.
1. We needed a church.
2. TIB was barb munching beside us, so we munched in reaction in order to prevent them capping 1 tile away from us.
We have told our players from sense I joined (back when WAL was still #5 in the world lol) that barb munching is only acceptable for strategic gain, namely, a church. Any other reason is a waste of a noble.
Don't even get me started on bash points and fighting. I literally think my most used word in this world is "war" because I am so overly aggressive (and my Obp shows that to be true).
As for not earning a win...i don't know where you get this. From the start of this world I've attacked players my size with groups of other players. Heck, I even headed an op on a tribe with players bigger than me. We have gotten to this point through teamwork, aggression, and activity.
The argument "you have 23 of the top 24" is ridiculous. That statement is only true because we have worked our butts off to get there.
But hey, you do you. Be mad that you aren't a top tier player, or rather, you can try to learn a thing or two for the next world and try to be a better player than what you are proving yourself to be.
