where are your brilliant players? everybody using aimbots and shit like that, is this what you call skill?
Basically all long-term tttla and vsb are good players. We got lots of new guys (started pvp or playing during this wipe) who want to participate in tc and pvp so they make the alliance look like swarm and occasionally unskilled.
Haven't heard anything about aimbots, nobody has mentioned they are using such devices. Can't say anything to that. But what comes to cheating, best not even begin with accusing someone using them when there's so many proxies and fast relogs around.
but you cant call yourself strong when you need like 75% pvp gangs population on your side to be dominating in fights.
Any gang that could amass swarm, would do it. Every possible trustworthy and apt volunteer is always taken. Gangs fight for victory, nobody wants to intentionally lose and hand out stuff to the enemy.
There are also fights where our manpower is even or less than the enemy's but nobody remembers those fights, only the swarm is remembered.
And yes, i have some very good friends as good as they can get through the internet on your side, but you know being good man is not profession. In game you need skill 
Getting allies is skill called diplomacy. In TC there are gangs fighting for supremacy, diplomacy is part of it. One-nation player killer gang should blame itself for not getting more members, perhaps the reason to that is their anarchistic actions ingame and spiteful attitude towards new players. But instead they blame the swarm.
