Sand

[John Doe]

You guys should join it.

*sees that two more people have joined Mist*

Please?

[Pinky]

I still can't believe people think that Mist is the strongest village. Guess I did a really poor job of explaining the way that this round works. :|

[Medraut]

No, the thing is, Mist has 7 people, and the rest combined are 4 people xD

Looks like I'm going to add the team balance mod. Way to fail gaiz.

You fail for not adding it. But hey, somebody joined Sand, so neh.

No reason not to have them balanced imo. The bonuses are cool but most of the time aren't really that important, so it always winds up with everyone picking the big team because being on the little team and getting dozens of rape PMs every hour is annoying and not fun.

You're kidding, right?

being on the little team and getting dozens of rape PMs every hour is annoying and not fun.

That's exactly why it should be balanced.

See, I figured that people were playing by the old set of rules.

In previous rounds, you had to buy large piles of relatively cheap items and have equally large piles of troops to make use of it all. But, in this round high troop numbers aren't necessary. Smaller amounts of more expensive/stronger items mean that you can have a few dozen troops and still not lose much, if any, of your main battle power. Troops also carry back 4gold each from a successful raid, so you don't need large numbers of troops to make a good raid either. Unless you're actually being reduced to less than ten troops on a regular basis, which is fairly difficult this round, joining a small team and being attacked a lot really doesn't matter.

You still have to admit that being up against an opponet with twice (or in Sand's case, three times) as many players as you do is a little daunting. But hey, somebody joined Sand, and that's all I asked for.

[Medraut]

When does this round end/reset?

[Jonathan Meer]

Whaaaaaaa

[Jack]

Pretty soon, at the rate it's going.

[Kaden]

Pretty soon, at the rate it's going.

What? What's that based on?

[Jack]

Broken Mist are like the only people taking this seriously right now. I find ways to entertain myself no matter what, so you don't have to worry about me.

I don't believe that I agree that "having twice the number of people on your team" and "only people taking this seriously right now" are the same tactic.

Interestingly, it seems that the team with double the numbers each round frequently feels this way.
