It's kind of impossible for one faction to track every single scent in the world, not to mention the fact that we didn't care for the most part. We only tracked in the Central Grid as well as some scents outside the grid. If I remember correctly, some Sodomites even hired themselves out to people. Of course there would still be thieves in the world, but for the most part, it was relatively clean because people were scared shitless of us. We would have an enemy for a while, then something would happen to them and we'd end up with someone else. This was the case with the Goons, if I remember correctly. There was some drama about Gato drowning Rage's character and loftar resurrecting it. We found out about this from [redacted] and started to bitch about it on the forums. Loftar reversed his decision and just killed all of Gato's toons and Rage. The Goons were pissed (obviously) and eventually quit after suiciding to A.D.'s "Stronghold!" peninsula vault. After that, our main competitors were A.D., which basically forced us from being a village with ~10 active members to a town with about 40 actives in order to counter their competition.
I do like the influence that Sodom had on that world. Almost everyone saw us in a positive light because our members were usually pretty nice and helped noobs out, and our trade village was very successful. During the final days of World 3, before A.D. discovered and heavily abused a duping bug, I recall someone accidentally getting their boat stuck in our claim, and one of our villagers was more than happy to travel a supergrid in order to return it. This game needs a community like that. If you have too many people going around raiding noobs and killing/stealing from others, the game turns into a steaming pile of shit easily. Too many people are currently out for themselves, and people who are willing to help out the weak are pretty much nonexistent at this stage.
World 3 was easily the best world, and no world and no faction will ever compare to it.

Sodom was also the biggest town to have ever existed in any world. (Valiant effort, W5 A.D.)
