Let's try not to derail - as much as I enjoy listening to you gurgle about GW1, you know as well as I that this time I was simply taking a potshot at your below average debating skills after you looked so smug for winning some ridiculous little tangent argument.
This is the second time TPF has cancelled on an alliance and had some friends cancel too, only to be thwarted by one powerful enough ally not cancelling. The poor old phoenix hungers, but it's not quite what it used to be.
Simple mistake really, NADC usually only does things once the water's been tested by 'the rest of the world'. Initiative is not their strongest suit.. This is just a one off kind of thing, only following one alliance - I don't imagine we'll see it again after this debacle.
