ahhhhhhh now i remember why i check the forums haha. Hi everyone long time no speak hope everyones well
heres my input:
Calling ZT an MRA? perhaps you misunderstand the meaning of an MRA....... at this stage of the game an alliance that has closed recruitment, is at half of the max pop (in case you wasn't aware when you posted ZT is at around 200 members of the 400 pop cap) with an average points of around 45k, that tops the leaderboards in ABP, DBP and for awards (looters of the day, attackers of the day etc etc etc) is CLEARLY not an mra, but i can see that discussing this point further would be futile.
The majority of members that joined ZT from other alliances did not in fact join as refugees as claimed, but left their respective alliances for a variety of reasons whether unhappy with the leadership style, the number of people actively supporting players being attacked in comparison to the number in the alliance, or because of geographical location in comparison to the majority of their teammates. I can not speak for all but as an example the Ocean 46 members of ELITE left for a few of these reasons, started a new smaller alliance and then after a period of time merged into ZT. this is similar to a lot of the members that have since joined ZT.
And in reference to claims that ZT will collapse internally, I can honestly say that if your hopes of winning this world are based on waiting for this to occur, i would recommend rethinking your tactics and quickly. I was ever an optimist in ELITE and if i was not on this side of the fence now (and loving it by the way) i would be looking to forge strong ties with ALL other alliances (as recommended earlier in the thread).
There is still a lot of time left in this world, rim alliances are yet to rear their head and I look forward to the day that a worthy opponent stands against us here in ZT (as ELITE once did)
in the meantime I'm going to continue to prepare my crown cleaning supplies and enjoy the co-ordination, team play, and general camaraderie that is enjoyed by every player privileged to call themselves a member of ZT.
ro: Deal with it
