Exactly. And for friends I am not looking for I have fallen to ZI before. I have one standing treaty, Agora. It has an ODP. One alliance helped me in Agora, even more than my protectors, NADC did. NPO.
They also destroyed me when I was in GATO; played a part in the destruction of SOLID ( i was VP); and were generally rude to me when i was govt. of MHA.
But actions speak louder than words. They helped me, some may have done so grudgingly, but they did.
