Yes and no. SF were already fairly fully engaged, and have a weak top tier, so it's unlikely that SF would have been able to mount a serious counter against TOP (against IRON, yes, particularly if Harmlins helped there).


Plausible but not correct ... don't forget I'm in a SF sphere alliance, and we were trying to calm people down from the beginning. It was made pretty clear that the chain that eventually transpired (\m/-PC-FOK-R&R-SF) was being planned for and basically inevitable. C&G (MK and Vanguard in particular) made it quite clear that they wouldn't be supporting Polar. Also, I've heard it said (during the New Year drama) that C&G and SF will always roll together – Supergrievances is a real 'side'.

C&G has more connections to the old FB and Citadel blocs than we do to SF. To say that we will always roll together is simply a ridiculous assumption. In blueballs and at the moment- we have 'rolled' together because of two highly unusual circumstances (TPF spying on members of both blocs and because of a direct attack on C&G). We quite like each other- but we are not a permanent entity.
