Alin: I have maintained a give and take attitude here on AT. I certainly defend myt alliance. With that said, maybe you should try to put yourself in my shoes when reading my posts. A good lot of the leadership in MD and SOL and other alliances have expectations of controlling my alliance. Do you really argue that it isn't so? I am not arguing as to whether that is just, simply that it is so and posing the question of moving forward. Your flaming/trolling me is not as effective as constructively analizing what you do not agree with.
Empathy is not exactly my strong point in this game. I lost all the remaining stock of empathy the time when some people were caught doing fluff and different alliances(from leaders to usual members) had different approaches on that. Starting that point - i realized empathy does not have a place in this game. Because if some people had empathy they would not have farmed the fluff out of the "cheated on" ones, set after set. You(your system) might fool some players that still have empathy ( the most pro eminent example that comes across my mind at this point is tellarion ) but not going to fool me.
I do not hold any position in my current alliance but i do talk with people time to time.I don`t think people in MD and Sol have expectation to control your alliance or any other alliance. And to be totally honest here ( might hit a sensitive place ), I think Laf controlled (with our without your knowledge ) Sof since a lot time ago.The same thing can not be said about Sof, because they do like, time to time, to have their "controlled" lapdogs. RIVAL until not to long ago(until RIVAL reached 18 members and was not worth the effort anymore) and RAGE is slowly filling that position ATM.
And i do not flame you or any individual person in Sof, but Sof as a hole. I don`t like your system, i don`t like your past in this game, i don`t like that you are always the guys that
, i don`t like the early wars you force everybody into because you can`t war late, i don`t like you because you are arrogant and fluffy altought you have very few reasons to be so ( can`t remember last time when Sof won a war on it`s own), and I just think the mask your leadership uses for a long time is kinda old and broken. I have no particular beef with individuals in Sof. If you don`t believe me ask the ones that left your side and somehow meet me "at a point".
