I'm not sure how much more level-headed and well-mannered we have to be in the face of your less-than-sterling behavior. What you seem to be saying here is that we have a bad attitude and crude behavior as long as we continue to disagree with you.

One more time, I'll explain. Mikus doesn't need any go-ahead. There was no tribal rule preventing him from killing anyone he wants of those newbies. None of them joined the tribe before they wandered off to that claim.
We would not want those 20-40 people in the tribe. Chances are 0-1 of them would have measured up to our standards eventually. They would have all been welcome as treaty members, sure, or as future targets of raids, I suppose, but since most of them would have likely left the game after a day or two of playing to move on to the next broadcast game, there's no reason Mikus shouldn't have just had his fun while he could and no one in the tribe disagrees with his decision.
Actually, on my first bit when I mentioned people with those attitudes, I specifically said 'a few' of the people I've chatted with had, as you put it, less-than-sterling behavior. I did not say all of them. You were actually half-decent as you actually answered things without degenerating into mindless insults and drivel, which hardly makes the tribe look any good.
The treaty was distinctly talked about, and I believe there was a plan to join it, but couldn't at the moment. I'm not the one who has been explaining that part much thus far. And what I'm saying is, if the tribe was NOT such a wild killing machine, you would have indeed had 20-40 people, and that was a number that was cutting off the people who WERE going to leave in a few days who only came to play with Aavak.
This was actually Aavaks first multiplayer stream he ever did, and greatly expressed a love and interest for wanting to carve out a little something that lasted in the game with people who watch him. This wasn't some random 'lets go play this game for a little bit' it was a distinct group of people genuinely interested in playing the game. Go take a look at Aavaks channel sometime. He does smaller games like this. Likes the out of the ordinary ones. And takes every chance possible to include his follower base.
And had Mikus not been so bloodthirsty chances are you would have had those people under your wing. Now, chances are anybody who is still playing will slowly level up and hide away until they become another, no offense to him at this comparison, another Claeyt. Which I doubt you guys want.
