There's no way I'm going to read all of these 60+ pages, but I feel like throwing in my 2 cents, even if my particular thoughts have already been covered somewhere in this topic.
My first cent: Anybody who are raiders themselves but are against what Athens is doing are hypocrites. All raids are fueled by greed, the only thing differing this raid from "normal" ones is how they all decided to target one single alliance. What exactly makes spreading the love around to other insignificant alliances better?
My second cent: Screw Athens, I pray to Gawd that somebody rolls them.
