But damn, it's the apocalypse, and that's how it works.
Of course there's going to be game mechanics to make sure that players always have a fighting chance for their stuff. But really this is where politics should take off, because it's a sandbox MMORPG, not a multiplayer minecraft server, and as a tribe surviving in the post apocalypse you'd think this should be a main concern.
Scared of one evil tribe invading all the others? Form a non aggression pact with all willing tribes, to protect their neutrality. Or make an alliance and conquer that tribe yourself! I really hope the metagame takes off in Xsyon, but if tribes get the option to turn PvP on or off, I guess you don't have to worry about any of this stuff :S
