nippy Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) [quote name='supercoolyellow' timestamp='1323714351' post='2875363'] Well obviously the war is already decided, but there is more to how an alliance performs in a war then just win/lose. There are other things to look at like, how long do we last, how much damage do we do, how much damage do we take, how many members does we lose, etc etc. Just looking at an alliance in terms of win/lose is a very simple way to look at it.

[/quote] So, it wasn't an underestimation. You [i]don't[/i] stand a chance. Glad that is settled. As for how MCXA has performed in this war, yeah, I'd say it's a little better than expected. Not impressive, but could be worse. You, GDA & Sentinel really need to learn how to use PM to your advantage. You would all be doing much better if your weaker/less active nations weren't exposed when you attacked. FEAR was targeted by most of Sentinel. Taking us down was going to be your little victory amongst the overall defeat. Yet, our loses have been laughable. You may be slightly better than those you defend, but that isn't saying much. Get better allies. Edited December 12, 2011 by Canik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workers Federation Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I've enjoyed fighting MCXA, a decent alliance if it weren't for the sides we took during this war, plus they gave me my first nukes to nom on. Made my xmas brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Napalm Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Say, if there are any apparently underestimated MXCA people out there, could i recieve one? The two i picked have done nothing since i declared on them, and the notion that the best opponent i'll have is from GDA makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueski Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 We should start a pool on how long before MCXA surrenders, in the last two and a half years they've only once lasted into a third round and then only by two days. My pick is the 20th, any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
