I think the whole VV thing has died down at the grubby games forums now, as we got the message through to them that while it it a good game, it is definitely based on VV. That's all I wanted to do. I think some people are going a bit far by telling people they should not play the game, I think that VV fans should just tell people the obvious differences, get people to try both games to see for themselves, so even if people choose My Tribe over VV, they will still realise that it is based almost entirely on VV.

For confuzzled people, see this (locked) post by Arthur explaining the similarities http://www.ldwforums.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/178615/1
