BloodFury Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 [quote name='potato' timestamp='1334826239' post='2955696'] The fact you and Kev have to tell active members of Planet Bob who Anathema was and defend its founders speaks wonders. Especially for an alliance that lasted... 6 days. Let that sink in for a bit. The alliance you guys are so adamantly defending was alive for 6 days. Six days. Not even an entire week. Maybe it had potential (although I do believe you're all giving too much credit to some people) but it never fulfilled anything besides appearing to be yet another alliance started by Kevanonvia that failed miserably. In short, an ego trip for a bunch of people who want to add "Former AAA of XYZ" to their sig. I do agree that some alliance don't deserve to be on this list and appear to be on it just because you were in them (which is like 92,67% of Planet Bob, anyways) not for any of their achievements. If that list was established in 2011, why repost it in 2012? If you really wanted the spotlight, update the damn thing before posting it. That way you don't look like a fool by forgetting "important" alliances like NV, PC or Athens and replacing them with useless micros that never amounted to anything. [/quote] I don't see me defending Anathema, more explaining the situation behind it. Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote. I don't believe it should be on the list, but the list is personal opinion so it exists where he thinks it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
