In correspondence with whats already been said regarding red team alliances; a lot of people seem to ignore that fact that a large number of most micro alliances on any color don't end in a long life. Creating an alliance is undoubtedly difficult, and it often times ends less than the creators hoped, but the fact that some of these alliances have fallen through are hardly directly related to the fact that they're on Red.
