Desperately? Nope. We currently do give peace a chance to ensure that it is a justified war. If you misinterpret that as a weakness or even a lack of desire to kick someone's face in that deserves in, well, now you know better.
Another thing that grates is how they've tried to reclaim the 'TOP loves it's pixels, we are nerds, etc' type arguments by using them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again in any thread that even mentions our alliance, as if that a) is funny, even after the 3784393th time and B) somehow magically diminishes the truth behind the original mockery of the insult. Not only is it insanely repetitive and boring when used, but it's OUR mockery that we use to annoy YOU. I will not abandon it simply because you are trying to whine it out of use, you know-it-all nerds.
Edit: Obligatory "TOP sure loves its stats. I can't wait for you to find out how true that is."
