If forum posts had anything to do with server population Chiefs propaganda would have them pulling up in droves. What I'm interested to know is why the tribes treaty payers, while being safe (presumably) are still leaving in droves. Is it the lack of freedom? Is it the sense of having their game become too much like real life as they are forced to pay taxes? Is it chiefs constant sexual advances?
The message is that if you aren't tribe, Plymouth is a no-go zone, and a lot of people simply don't want to be tribe. If you aren't a backstabbing, noob-killing joke, with no honour and litte to no worthwhile achievements to speak of, the tribe isn't for you.
Jealousy doesn't even come into it. Even the tribe is playing less and less on Plymouth and spending more and more of their time on other servers because there's nothing to do on Plymouth anymore. The amusing part about it is the illogical justifications preventing the tribe and their followers from seeing past the end of their own noses.
