Ignotum Periculum - Kinky

Kinky began w24 not dominating a single K, yet remaining high and most of the time #1 in the rankings. This led many to be skeptical that they would survive long. However, Kinky astonished many when they took control of the core. A position they would hold for much of the early life of World 24.

Kinky was founded and originally led by Pervis (known in other worlds as Purple Predator. Pervis and his premade team of elites defeated tribes such as PIE!?, FUSE and ~TI~ and eventually only fell in a war against S²ORM, rank 5 at the time, and GARUDA rank 3 at the time. Inactivity, refusal to recruit, and lack of consistent leadership were all major factors that worked against Kinky in the war.

Leadership was passed from Pervis to a council then to various members then to Litebrite.

At the outstart of the S²ORM/GARUDA war that ultimately defined Kinky's career, Kinky instigated a rigorous propaganda campaign. They claimed to be victimized and fighting off several of the top 5 tribes who teamed against them. While it is true the war was 2 vs. 1 (with rank 2 tribe V-V-V remaining uninvolved), only GARUDA in fact declared on Kinky. Un-Verified rumors were circulating that Wizdom and his tribe S²ORM were plotting to attack Kinky as well. Therefore, as a preemptive and very bold move, Kinky attacked S²ORM.

The propaganda battle was as fierce as the in game battle. Wages were made and Kinky began to grow less and less, Azi the Dragon with the help of Dead Socks and her plot-table-thingamajig1 brokered bets as to when Kinky would fall from their Rank #1 spot. Ultimately, King Geldwolf, the leader of the tribe MANIC who was the sole remaining ally of Kinky won the bet. The pot had grown to 15 PREMIUM POINTS (the largest ever known recorded wager in Tribal Wars history).

As stated, MANIC was allied to Kinky and sent nearly 60% of their entire tribes defense to support Kinky. This known and well documented fact led many to see through Kinky's propaganda campaign which was based around the argument "this is an unfair 2 v. 1 fight".

There was also some discussion on the PnP as to Kinky's treatment of their allies.

Despite the politics 'n propaganda, Kinky's legacy is written and will forever be remembered as a formidable and deadly war tribe.
