If your numbers suck, what else are you going to counter with about how awesome you are? Best community? Most skilled political navigation of the web? Anything else at all? Or are you just not worried about any manner of being a decent alliance?
Well this just became the most interesting post in the thread. How does VE become involved in any discussions surrounding the escalation of either DH or UCR's immediate allies?
The hypocrisy is astounding.
NPO had less than 4 million combat range NS at the end of the last war which was badly being thrashed. Their leadership has openly acknowledged that their upper tier will likely never see combat again (until they initiate the protocol and turn on IRON and DBDC for ultimate domination of the upper tier). Acting like they are some unbeatable force that you must have on your side to win is a fallacy and also degrades your own importance.

This is the perfect time for admin to recode himself the Death Star wonder and about a million NS of addons and bring the fight like a real admin! If he dares!
