I think you’re reaching. It’ll take about 15 people with OP stats to make it remotely interesting. Think the silence is because M HQ don’t give a f**k. :)

Ironically it works as a chain reaction.

The NS merge meant an M merge HAD to be created, because yes everyone else were light years away. Although we can agree that the HoF top-end was more competitive pre NS (SA, R*, JFK) than post NS merge (NS, CR, JFK), it doesn't automatically mean the Monarch merge was a bad idea + the difference between M/NS is 100% is hella closer than NS/CR- despite our domination top-end, we still lose waves in certain periods, we don't (yet) have a stronger faction family but on top we are not the ones raking in 3b/day or whatever it is from the island. So yes, we still have certain goals/challenges going forward.

The R*/Mentos merge on paper shouldn't have grown to the point where it is right now, but due to the insane growth not just from member growth but also recruitment, we clearly excelled and surpassed expectations. Possibly from not just ourselves but NS who are our closest rivals. Majority of the public thought NS were invincible for years to come, now look.

It's hard to comment on "who wins who" if merges didn't happen. Milk firstly would have died off long ago, hence why they were looking for a merge. Mentos got DB'd but on top we were always looking to expand our family- which you can clearly see with how much effort has and will be put into ME. On top we got rid of an R* leader off gold fist who faked his sister being harassed

My thoughts are MnC could deffo beat PT in RW's (can go both ways, wish we could see it), but struggle to CR due to the fight style. We would beat JFK, R*, Carbon and everyone else in that tier for sure. Deffo struggle with NS1, but would be interesting in RW's purely with how underdogs can pull off upsets or push the very strongest with elite tactics, (but whatever happens if these merges didnt happen is totally theoretical).

@Mrpink

Mentos were super small, (outside top 12?) until 2019-2020. Then I carried it post FTW war, soon after Scum Squad was born.

Rather than stats total, I would propose "a faction cannot host (for example) more than a stats total of 500b counting all member's third highest stats".

This would be fun.

This is a silly take and frankly, indicative at the "win at all costs" mentality that has kinda risen up in this game...

Since Insurgency, CR has been a fixture in the top 5.. Thats quite a few years for you folks at home, but what sets us apart is that we are good with being competitive, but at no point would we ever compromise who we are to gain a rank, or two, or even 3 to be on top of this game.

CR is unlike any other faction in the game because we (and when I say WE , i mean ALL of us) play in CR because we are in a home with people we WANT to play with, not people we HAVE to play with. We are the faction where you can be surrounded with great people and STILL have success in this game. We believe you can still be a top faction while not having to sell your soul or play with people you hate in the process.

We wear the White Hats in this game because we stick to our principles and put the personal quality of our members above selling out or merging to get ahead. Yet, somehow, we still remain among the strongest and most successful factions in the game.

You "if you arent first, you're last" people are really missing out on the fact that you can still be happy playing with people that are decent good folks, but just happen to kick much ass.

This game is supposed to be a hobby, something you do for fun. Of course you apply yourself, but if you wake up and immediately have to endure the presence of someone you don't enjoy playing the game with ....you're not enjoying your hobby anymore...

You sold your soul for pixels.

Have fun with that.

Why do I feel like you and Prox just keep on repeating the same point I made???

If CR are happy with where they are, good for them.

We low stats just want to see you beasts brawl, talk shit and create drama, but atm there's no competition.. PERIOD.
