| Savage Fangs (SF) | Roktata | http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=268041&ForumID=1256947&Tab... |
To run warg packs on a daily basis and give freeps a reason to fear and hate wargs. Savage Fangs does not require that you be in the Tribe to run with the warg pack, however, when there is a waiting list (oh yes, we have a waiting list every night) SF wargs get priortiy. We have an open door policy to any and all wargs wanting to join, unless we have suspicion that you are doing it just to spy on us, which isn't normally the case. |

| The B Team RoflCopters | Smegrat | http://www.bteamrofls.com |
The B Team RoflCopters, born from "Drunken Aussie Friday Nights in the Moors" gameplay, consists of a group of friends who banded together under a common tribe name. B Teamers aren't recruited, they just tend to drift into the tribe as new friendships are formed. Having a good time, in the company of friends you can have a laugh with, is what being a B Teamer is all about. With a very relaxed 'organisational structure', there is no official Mission Statement for the tribe, nor are there any set goals that all members strive for. However, the theme that seems to be most common amongst members is the high priority they place on fun and laughter in the Moors. B Teamers also have a special appreciation for the post-MoM Defiler, and are very aware of the deadly onslaught that these crazy staff-wielding maniacs can unleash upon their unsuspecting foes. Therefore, in the spirit of fair play, the following DANGER ALERT is issued to Freeps: Listen, and understand. That Fly Swarm is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. FEAR the FLIES!!! Heed this warning well, as it may save your life some day. |

| The Mangabey Mafia | Bonobokong | www.themangabeymafia.com |

We also lend a hand to any other freep raids that are run though vent. The Mafia is always looking for new members. Our only rules are no blind invites to groups or the tribe and show respect to other tribe members. Everyone has the opportunity to become an officer in our tribe. |
