For practical purposes, UPN is indeed the oldest signatory in the bloc for 2-4 months. [/quote] Yes UCN was formed between merger with one of the merged alliances being a member of CDT. However UCN was around during the bubblegum war. Hard to forget that fiasco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, and all that jazz to the bloc. And good luck Invicta, leaving a bloc is never fun (GUARD, Feroticas, etc. etc.), especially when you're still all good buddies.

[/quote] [img]http://ascelios.com/McCroskey/PicLens/FNSCv10/pl_images/Scruffy_Futurama.jpg[/img] Things change, people change, friends change. Sometimes they even change back later or develop into something new. CDT continues on because of its members determination to keep it alive. It was originally started to boost small and middle sized alliances and introduce them to a bloc setting. The number of former members of the bloc is one of the most fascinating records of all time and I don't see anyone ever coming close to it. Long have they lived, and long may they continue to do so o/ /runs, hides from the stat fact checkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
