The Amazing Sanction Race

Recommended Posts

There's no denying that there are some cowards among them, but many nations there simply wanted to save their own hides. Furthermore, you have the nations who HAVE fought, and simply had enough. That speaks absolutely nothing of their intra-alliance governmental ability. I would LOVE to see an alliance based off of Karma POWs. ;>.>

Be that as it may, it does tell you everything about how they would stand up against any kind of turmoil or external pressure. I can't say that I'd find that to be a particularly comforting thought if I were in such an alliance. You kind of want someone that can stand up for their principles running your alliance, I think you may be hard pressed to find someone in there that would meet that qualification.

But I suppose that's neither here nor there. Congrats on the flag TOP.

They probably also have a few folks who just got caught unprepared with too little warchest, and didn't want to sit about in bill lock for however long.

They still put pixels above alliance. Are they all terrible people? No. But an alliance of people who bailed in a war wouldn't do very well should it ever get in a war of its own.

There are also those who do not wish to be fighting this war at all, and their alliance had to drag them to get them to fight. I'll try not to make it too political, but i'm not sure there would be too many people who would disagree when I said that MCXA could be used as an example of this. A large slice of the membership of MCXA didn't want this war and are seemingly voting with their feet, as seen by their 100+ loss in members since it began. In that case, going to the POW AA, on ideological reasons is actually a very respectable decision-- they're standing up for their principles.

Or they are doing like that large GGA nation who started a thread a week ago !@#$%*ing about getting attacked by Kronos. They sat on an AA perfectly happy to take all of the good things that came with it, in this case being in what was the #3 alliance in the game for a significant time. And once the going got tough, they got going. But there may also have been some conscientious objectors among them too.

I'm just guessing that most were inactives and alliance ghosts, who got woken up one morning seeing their nation under attack and since the obvious choice for someone who never gave a damn about their alliance or their alliance mates being to save self, did just that.

Either way, doesn't bother me much, I know it helped us trim some fat. And I'm sure there are a half dozen other threads we can carry on this conversation, if need be, without derailing the Sanction race thread.

Can people stop discussing the moral rectitude of any alliances in A STATS THREAD PLEASE?

Your moral's rectum is showing.

Also, who will todays stats be done by? It will kinda save the hour or so of arguing on who is doing it if we can straighten that out early.

I'll do it. Someone will need to do commentary afterwards, though.

I have already uploaded the TOP flag and resized it on photobucket. The link is here: http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n454/kc...lag_small-1.png .... looks like: Top_flag_small-1.png

Thank you.
