Yeah, if only most of the loudest members of \m/ kept fighting and wearing the AA for months of nuclear war even though the government disbanded the alliance. If only the private IRC was filled with members yelling that they would rather keep fighting than disband, Oh wait, those did happen.
\m/ was already in a very unstable spot before the UJW due to it's leadership being removed from the game so when the only gov we had decided we were disbanding there just wasn't enough organization left to do anything about it and still have it feel like the same alliance.
You can paint the alliance as cowards all you want but anyone who actually has a clue knows you are full of it. Personally \m/ taught me that my nation was just a bunch of numbers that didn't matter and that's how I played and I did some pretty cool things because of the attitude that alliance instilled in me.
