I never preached they didn't fight, and I said a good chunk of losses could be attributed to people leaving the realm.[/quote]
Maybe not you, but that seems to be what others are aiming for. The "96% of "Legion's NS in peacemode" being thrown around is misleading in the fact doesn't take into account that people that were fighting lost NS while those staying in peacemode did not. A few of their upper tier also came out from the middle of March to the beginning of April and declared wars on MK.
[quote]I got hold of 38 spy reports, 8 of which have left the Legion in some way now, mostly the world.
Which holds up to the 20%
Between the dates you cited in an earlier post, Jan-March 26th I believe. 70 members left the alliance in some way (Alliance Member count taken from the Sanction Race Thread)of which the Av NS was 33k approx(taken from the av of the cross section of spy reports I had available),
70 @ av of 33k = 2.3m NS
So yes, a sizeable chunk, as I said in my post.

Its a sizeable chunk, but it still means that if Legion lost 2.3 million due to those 70 deletions or people leaving the alliance, roughly 3 million NS is not accounted for in the total losses for the duration of the war, from January 26-May 3. That would put them second in our coalition for total NS loss and a loss of over a third of their NS. 33k seems too high without having access to the reports that you're citing.
