For the most part, LaF and SOL play by the traditional norms of the game. That means pacts are honored, countries are generally left alone and wars are fought for real reasons. However, Elders tried a few sets ago to change the norms by ignoring pacts, FSing netting clans for no reason and so on. This led to a struggle between LaF (and to some extent SOL) and Elders, and because Elders were willing to ignore the norms of the game, LaF ignored norms such as "no OOP FSes" and bullied clans that were suspected of helping Elders.
We all know the outcome of that. Elders basically cannot exist as a tag in this game anymore other than through hiding in other tags for most of the game. MD is gone, all that is left is a group of persistent suiciders (who btw LaF should never trust again, pretty stupid to fall for their pact breaking TWICE).
So which side does Stones pick? For some odd reason, the Elders side. This is despite the fact that, as a result of your 1.5 weeks of fun this set, you will spend the next set being killed OOP and then serving as farmland for LaF, the same that Elders did. Your tag will disappear and eventually there will not be enough tags to hide in.
After you broke a uNAP with LaF, the name of the game with you also becomes "might makes right" and you're not going to win. That's why I really wonder why you chose to essentially turn your tag into one that cannot exist on the server after this reset. Where's your goodbye post? Or do you just not understand the implication of breaking the norms of the game (that uNAP means no attacking) with LaF&SOL?
