Christ, after this war the NPO and GPA may just be the most powerful alliances.

The NPO that stumbled into such a blatant trap was not the same NPO which fought it's way through dozens of alliances to the top, and the several vulturous alliances which took the opportunity to feed on it's corpse were not revolutionaries.

The intrigue and animosity behind the scenes of the time between the first and second great wars was amazing, it's a real shame only a small group of players really got to experience it. I dunno about the Initiative side, but for the former CoaLUEtion we basically had the equivalent of red scares, accused people who looked toward a peaceful solution instead of the inevitable war as being "pro-NPO", all that !@#$%^&*. The internal politics of CoaLUEtion alliances (and between CoaLUEtion alliances) was basically a single metric, your opinion on the NPO. Some alliances were more radical (NAAC, LUE) while others tended to be more willing to talk with the NPO (ODN, Legion). I certainly have a skewed view on it, but it seems hard to think that kind of cold war atmosphere could ever have been reproduced. NPO just randomly stumbling into it's own demise years later was so anticlimactic. I always imagined some sort of revolution or civil war taking them down, not ignoble senility.

The Second Great War was caused purely by ego and in retrospect was really embarrassing, stupid and sad. It was probably a sweet time to be in the Initiative though.
