Agree with the previous posters.
NBK put up a heck of an effort to beat down PAN, ESD and Wang. Even with relatively little resistance from ESD, they were still countries that NBK used up turns killing, allowing PAN to rally, and JP, SV and Tin Man did help significantly, it's just too bad for our side that ESD as a whole put up an inconsistent and often late effort. Those countries would've been great to help as breakers early in the war.
In addition, I fully agree with Andrew. Even with ESD's partial participation, PAN was in position to win this for awhile, and it was the difference in walling that changed the game. NBK could count on logging in and killing virtually any 10-15 PAN countries they wanted, since we aren't as active and organized concerning walling, whereas the PAN side would tend to either kill less skilled players in NBK (the less likely to wall) or we'd have to use additional turns by going after players like Smurf in multiple waves.
As much as everyone (myself included) ripped on dittie for the way he introduced himself to the server, he played very well and was a very effective breaker for us.
Sorry to hear of your loss, dittie. You've earned my respect and I hope you're planning to come back revitalized this set.
