Mountain Village doesn't have the coolest name. I know many Mountain Ninja would disagree, but it's right there with the Stone Village, which had like, 9 members when it was on WOTN. Yes, very intimidating that Village was.
Mountain Village isn't old. It's nothing like Sand, Mist, old.
Mountain Village doesn't have anything the other Village's don't have. It's not got old users and old jokes or special combinations.
And yet in Mountain's short term track record, it had has done nothing but kick butt.
In January early days it had 18 members. Many of which were not active.
And now it has almost 50. When every other Village is in rapid decline Mountain is pushing forward.
Mountain Village has many active users: Ninja kid, Toshii, Eureka, Zergio, Darkflame, Bano, Saiya, Yay, Zakku to name a few. Sure, not all get on, but seeing two or three of these names online, or more, is not uncommon at any one time.
Mountain has won a war against Mist (through the use of Allies) without hardly any fighters.
Mountain won the Village Competition, with a score over 300, while second place made in the 200's.
Mountain just proves what we've been saying all along, and no one cared to listen.
Here they are:
Active Kage. Bano works very hard on Mountain. He wants to prove to everyone that Sand isn't best, and that Mountain isn't a smallfry newbie like Sun used to be. Anyone who would argue he's done just that is an idiot.
It has active members. It has many posters who spend lots of time in the bar. They have made themselves very known, and thanks to that they are very much making Mountain the first Major Village to have the amazingness that is the clans.
Lastly, Mountain is growing. It's recruiting and getting new members to join. And it doesn't have many members. Yet the members it does have has made a big difference.
Need I say more? If you need proof that a hard working Kage, active posters, and some newbies coming in is what makes WOTN turn, look at Mountain.
