For the love of god stop talking. Go look up database design please for the love of god. The possibility of a wipe is beyond low right now as tribes are working just fine right now. All that needs to be done is delete the problem tribes and the orphaned totems. And guess what? Game is fixed.
Sure it'll be unfair cause you broke and lost your land but... Sorry its fair. We stuck it out... You gave up... Deal with it.
