While a lot of comments have been made about the number trolls and ODN haters, there is certainly less hate than the usual ODN announcement accompanies. Cheers to those CNers who actually said nice things. There aare possibly more supporters out there than in a usual ODN announcemnet. Progress? Considering this is not a 'happy' topic like some of our recent treaty announcements it's good to see a bit of suport to us and for our former treaty partners.
Yes, we are a different alliance. We have a new and logical FA direction. To achieve this we have had to cut some treaties with friends and, in this case, remove treaties which served no function (or I suspect we didn't actually know we had in a couple of cases...). If you havent noticed we are becoming more assertive then you have been living under a rock since Karma. And I think most people, even natural 'enemies' (to use such a crass term), can see that even if they disagree with our direction- they can agree with out methodology.
This mass treaty announcement at least shows that we, as an alliance, now have some balls.
