Imladrist I was assured that you would not address me again this game -as I am much too childish for someone of your honor and prestige. I assure you the request will fall on deaf ears because despite the good intentions or above board morality of your initial reasoning... to mention RoO success without giving you credit for the part you played in it - is just wrong! Most of your fighting points have directly benefited RoO. And is apart of the RoO success story. You are a rook (pawn doesn't seem right to say as you fairly deserve more credit) in their game.
Don't sell yourself short, without bloods RoO wouldn't have done what they were able to do, which is why you have the high honor of feeding them at wonder time. Its like you guys are on the same team or something... or that you guys have agreed to not fight each other to in order to fight the rest of the world... if only there was a word for that... and only if we could use that word to make clear what you are guys are doing... So to use the words NAP/PACT is to correctly describe your relationship.
Again the posts I have made are in NO WAY knocking Bloods. I think what you guys do is EPIC, and a great a troll move. The lack of intention to build wonders and just coast with RoO is VERY clear. And an awesome troll move! So call us trolls if you please, but the writing is on the wall. This is a non-issue, and so far from the point its becoming laughable. I have no beef with Bloods or the way they do things, or the pacts you made. Ya'll fight and fight well. I have nothing but good things to say about the way Bloods is run, and has done things since I have been in contact with them.
As for RoO, how many leaders have a narrative just like Imladrist does? How many pacts are crafted to ensure you can coast and just fight 1 Alliance despite being the largest alliance(s). Funny how you use the size to sway people to fight with you and then when your size is top dog you keep the pacts and watch the world peter-out... LOL wonder why!? So Imladrist, I take no issue with Bloods or you. Your fighting is great - and speaks way louder than your words.
RoO's fighting does not add up to their talk, nor to their size. And the simple reason for that is because they use people like Imladirst to do their fighting - who isn't in RoO!!! lol They use people who weren't in RoO and came over late through recruitment... and their points don't count after the fact!
Al, its all great that by the end they will add up, but RIGHT NOW you are on the size list and the city list... but fail to be on both of the fighting lists... so get ready to craft whatever narrative you want after the fact but those that are here now - see how it was done. Plain and simply put: a good diplomatic victory (assuming you get all 7 wonders).
