Boy oh boy.
Here's where I find myself torn between friends and allies. Its supposed to be all about politics for me nowadays sooo...
I believe MI6 is and will be just another alliance like every other alliance out there, until I am proven wrong.
Your "difference maker" is your gonna "start your own sphere", welp sorry guys its been done before. Nothing new there.
You assembled a group of "veterans who are gonna put their differences aside for the betterment of the community". Yea, that's been tried/done before too. And failed, iirc.
Your activity is high. You have 20+ on IRC most of the time. We'll see about that when the new wears off.
I'm in no way trying to bash MI6, you just shouldn't running off at the mouth about other alliances who have tried doing what you are trying now. If anything, NSO does have something that separates them from the other alliances including yours and that is the challenge system. So while that may not be a game changer for everyone it does set them apart. Lets not also forget the newest Moldavi Doctrine which was, at the time, different.
