We wish TPF nothing but the best. [/quote] See confusion is what happens when one says "you did x" when it wasn't me, but someone else that was in the alliance a year before I joined in a war I didn't fight. Even more confusion when the comment makes no sense toward the criticism I gave y'all which could easily be addressed by adding an amendment "19 or less and no treaties". "what are you going to do about it" threats seem absurd considering we allow raiding as well... ol penk.

[/quote] Yes, because clearly we received the worst end of the deal the last time our charter was called into question, and it ended exceedingly well for those who chose to meddle. Now, with that in mind, may I suggest something? I would humbly suggest those who want to posture at our expense to keep it to them selves, as I'm quite positive there are exceedingly few alliances that has never made a questionable decision in their time, and I'm quite confident people are more willing to learn from their actions when they don't have a gaggle of monkeys bringing out stuff that has been resolved for a long time now.

Almighty Admin doesn't have them listed in the top 6 pages, but when it says "Alliance Affiliation" and states a name followed by some screens which show your alliance stats, that shows a recognition of an alliance.
