As I've said, I wanted a Celtic background for our Tribe, and Boann came up with what I considered the perfect reference. The beginning of the Irish , thought to be mythical.
Boann had only recently begun playing Civ, and we started looking around for members who felt Honor and Ethics as important as winning.
As you know, not all fit that criteria.
Berzerker was the very first name I though of.
I'd played with Berzerker a few times, and was not only impressed by his skill level, but by his completely unselfish approach to the game.
When he accepted my invitation I was very happy.
Tuatha De Danann now had a core to build around.
I next asked Godsfriend. As one might expect my the name, he fit the thought process also. Though, I knew Friend stayed very busy with outside volunteer work, the offer was made, and he answered the call without hesitation.
When Sayen fell apart, there were 2 members that I thought would fit.
General Maximus, and Khanman.
I was SOMEWHAT concerned that the internal strife within Sayen would make a negative impact. The slight concern was not warranted, and these 2 members strengthened us in many ways.
Some time passed, though not much, and Boann recruited Darflex.
I knew little of Darflex, though I am told we had played a couple of times.
Well, me being old and senile, I couldn't quite remember.
Darflex also is a fit most comfortable.
And now we number 7 members. Seven members that I wouldn't trade for anything or anybody.
A close knit Tribe, that view the other members as family.
You attack a member of our family, you attack the family in total.
Next?

O.W.L. Alliance....... as quoted by Suas 
The history of the O.W.L Alliance goes as far back as tribe play existed...well actually even a little farther.
Tired of waiting for Frank to set up tribes, the Sayens formed and quickely signed the top players of the
time, including Roc_master, Mokerguy and Darkstorm. A few players felt that Sayen's had a cheap head
start since nobody else formed tribes yet and Frank hadn't set the system up, and decided to form a tribe
to ruin the sayen monopoly. I lead these unorganized few and formed the O.W.L Alliance with suas333,
series1999, and JSJC. We were the 3rd tribe, as Eyes and Kaak had formed the infamous Divine also.
ROC_Master the Sayen laughed at the O.W.L, insisting it was a joke and that its attempts to break up the
Sayen were ridiculous. "Sayen would be forever!" he boasted. Needless to say, these words would come
back to haunt him, what a surprise the current situation would be for ROC. The O.W.L Alliance saw that
there was little work to do after all...RocMaster left Sayen the next day to join the Divine, Empress and
Slowwhand also left for the Dixie.
With the Sayen monopoly weakened now, the O.W.L Alliance proclaimed to be a force of good, but would
be considered 2nd to the Righteous Sayen. On the Evil side was the Divine and the weaker Vampires on
Acid. After a long war, the O.W.L defeated the Vampires on Acid who would eventually disband. This
victory came with the help of great additions to the tribe, including Bohlen and now Chief of Staff
Cavebear.
The O.W.L. Alliance, now respected, recruited even more honorable warriors such as absurddoctor,
JasonNJShore, alamo, AbsurdSensei and magicman55. After the victory over the Vampires on Acid,
unfortuately came losses to the Sayen and Europa. But the Alliance bounced back to defeat Tuatha de
Dannan.
In a much changed group of tribes, the O.W.L Alliance continues to fight for the forces of good. Our
member s are entitled to declare the opinion on anything. The tribe will make an opinion when all
members are agreeing on something. Its a collection of ideas that makes the tribe so good, and none
will be suppressed, a mistake i believe was made by Sayen. I must say i greatly respected the Sayen
model of Democracy especially in their system of challenges and senate. However as of now, the O.W.L is
still a dictatorship of sorts in that the chief is in charge of all recruiting and schedualing. We intend to
increase our tribal rank and have recently challenged Nemo Pax Empire.

O.W.L Alliance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
well the title is classified for tribe members i'm afraid. But during tribal battles most of you have used the
initials O.W.L as part of your trash talk. Several of you citing "Old Women's League" or as markus put it,
"Orphans Wanting Love." But we'll take your trash and remain secret
As for recruiting, skill or location is not a factor, which explains our large numbers. Fair play is the
essential qualification. This you would think would make the tribe popular, however we've pissed off some
members who have wanted to join in our efforts to check their history first. I won't name any, but some
became angry we thought that they could be a cheater and ended up not wanting to join at all.

EUROPA....as quoted by Weird God.
The idea of EUROPA first wasnīt to unify the best european players though it ended up like this. choosing
the name "EUROPA" only should give our tribe a historic touch. the idea of a new tribe came up in Jan
2000 but it took itīs time to get started. the main problem was finding good players. a-team, jes and me
should have been in, but jes joined another tribe first. kingus now showed interest, and it looked like he
would join in, but then he decided to leave the civ2 community at all and start the kingusleague project.
so it came that a-team and me finally founded EUROPA in april 2000.
We only had one game in the early days against the divine which took about 1 hour total. we had no
other games like most of the other tribes and it seemed tribe playing was dead. in summer -it was the
time of triberevival- pinball and oedo (two german players) joined in. we now were a strong team and
sucessfully fighted the OWLs.
a-team didnīt harmonize with EUROPA (low activity, feeling as outsider, personal dispute with me) and
decided to leave us. well, we lost a strong player but on the other hand it made us a european team
(needless to say that the leaving of the fraud and the new "european feeling" raised playing moral and
friendship). we now played Sayen and won (again a great game) which made EUROPA the first tribe
receiving nation-state in tribe-history ever.
pinball now barely played civ2 and we looked for a new more active 4th player. upinflames came in mind
as well as a-team (who thought about a comeback). in the end w0ke and jes -two of the best and most
experienced european players- joined in. this finally made EUROPA to what it is now: an european all-star
team. each of us has been a gameleague champion and -maybe except for kingus- i donīt know any
other european who has compareable civ2mp-skills.
we have never been a tribe were i -as chief- "lead" the others but since the leaving of a-team we acted
even more as a basisdemocratic community. there was no "chief" inside the tribe anymore and since we
were three (later five it was easy to decide via votings. i see this (despite our skills) as a major factor of
our sucess.
------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
skill definetly, location isnīt as important - but as already said having a pure european tribe gives us kind
of positive identification. plus 3 of us are german, w0ke is from the NL and iīm from austria. talking in
german is still easier
weird god, chief of EUROPA

DIVINE...as quoted by Kaak
While suas is correct as far as gameleague goes, he is a little mistaken. Before gameleague, there was
civleague. Civleague too had tribes.
The Tribe of the Divine is the oldest, and only undefeated tribe. We were formed with myself, John
Barbarossa, and the very cream of the civleague crop. A bit later, after a bit of work on his strategy and
gameplay, we invited Eyes to join. Joining the divine is general a difficult thing to do. A player is screened,
and then screened again, saves evaluated, and strategy scrutinized. The main qualification of becoming
one of the Divine is to be the best. Hence the name, the Tribe of the Divine. We share strategies, and
constantly work to improve the members gameplay.
The fact of the matter is that as long as there has been tribal play, the divine have been the driving force
behind it. New tribes have constantly been created to serve as "competition" for the mighty divine, but as
of yet, none have had even the slightest succes. Our longest game ever was the recent game against the
knightstalkers, and it didn't make it to 1000 BC. For a dramatization of the recent history of the divine,

And weird, the divine were a nation in civleague
