Nobody seems to post here anymore. But I always enjoyed the Forums and I think it is pretty cool that my team in Sunset, the Nomadic Tribe, just topped 1,000 wins. I posted the following in this turns newsletter as a team spotlight. I thought I'd put it here for a wider audience if anyone is interested. Besides, Wambasu the Bold's stats got messed up in the newsletter, so in all fairness to the big waste, I figured I should right the record.
And as a side note - if you are looking for a healthy arena with a bunch of teams and a lot of history - the Tribe needs someone to beat up on for the next 1,000 wins. Come join us in the Sunset, Jewel of the Delarquan Federation!
The Tribes Nomadic Trip through Sunset History.
The Nomadic Tribe first showed up in Sunset in 1992. We came at the invitation of Stik, who was an arena stalwart even then, but with a team called the Borribles. We played only sporadically and within a year, left the game for over a decade, returning in 2006. Since that time, we have only missed a few turns by accident and now stand on the precipice of 1,000 wins. It is a proud accomplishment – yes, simple stubbornness can get you there, but you have to have that stubbornness and stick it out for many years and have a fair amount of success over that time.
A total of 31 Tribesmen and women have achieved immortality in Sunset, covering all 10 styles. Only one striker seems shocking. It is a pretty good balance. There have also been a whole bunch of warriors that died with double digit wins – oh, so close to immortality, but now they are vying to make a comeback on another of my teams, the Phantom Regiment.
Strikers: Only one. Yep, only one striker. How does that even happen?

Some of the roll-ups have been quite good. Others were quite moderate. Others have been experiments because, why not? 5 of the 31 had losing records when they graduated, but two of those were bashers, so they don’t really count, right?
It has been a good run – and I don’t plan on riding off into the Sunset anytime soon. In fact, I think I’ll stick around in good ol’ Sunset and start working on the second thousand wins. Stik has a pretty big lead on that one, but maybe I can beat him there. Ben, your next to 1,000!
