- MTP and WoE were pact brothers and never had any bad terms against one another.
100 % Correct -
Mad Tea Party -
Metamorphosis -
The Enlightened - Whatever you want to call us the truth is we never had any bad relations with WoE. Derek is actually one the nicest people on the server and therefore him and his alliance were always treated with the same level of respect he gave us. We were always straight up and direct with WoE as I trusted him completely even to the point where we would give each other info that could have harmed each others alliances if the the info go out. It never did - hence the relationship between out mutual alliances was solid.
It's only through some backstabbing by The Enlightened that they now have such a large enemy on the north.
Please clarify this point? For someone who is "in and out" of Sigma how did you come to this well thought out and balanced conclusion? I am assuming you have spoken to ALL parties concerned and then formulated you're own thought on the matter instead of simply regurgitating someone else's viewpoint?
The Enlightened is not the easiest alliance to get along with - however we treat all others with the same level of courtesy as we are treated with. Unless you can back up your statement of backstabbing with regards to an alliance that I know you've had no real dealings with I would suggest you say less, because you risk looking foolish by talking about matters you have no clue about.
Sclullinous - you may have seen a few messages - forwarded with a slight twist but in reality you are only privy to information that people want you to see and therefore with no offence meant - your view points on things can be rather manipulated as you will never be given the real picture. Therefore, making statements about an alliance's moral standing - which reflects upon it's leaders and members, one should be particularly careful as it is highly likely that the information you've been given is limited and very slanted.
Sure. it would be very easy to believe that
The Enlightened are the bad guys who have no morals and care for no-one else but themselves - but the fact of the matter is that is untrue. We value pacts and hold them strongly - look at Black Watch - We've had many chances to turn on them but never have. We could have joined in the fight against WoE as we were also pacted with War Machine - but we remained neutral and actually tried to actively cease hostilities between both parties - which is something DerekRisen can atest to ( - however dealing with the old leader of War Machine proved to be slow as he always stalled for time). Sadly for many people who like to believe otherwise - we are not actually a bad alliance and are pretty fair in how we deal with things.
So backstabbing? Nope
The Enlightened did not do that I'm afraid.
Fact of the matter is - DN is fighting as many alliances as they are simply down to one reason and one reason only. Sure you can go looking for reasons and scapegoats but at the end of the day - DN is fighting the "world" because of
their leaders and it's no-one else's fault.
It's not heroic fighting so many alliances and nor is it skilful - many would say it verges on quite sad - all it indicates is that DN players have far too much time on their hands and should go out a bit more, stop wasting all their lives trying to protect 2D cities and enjoy the sun. Regardless of what the Twilight Tweenies may think - looking like a Vampire isn't going help you meet that 'special' someone, make you happy nor improve your life.
So - in closing for DN to win against all the alliances that they are fighting against- you'll find they will lose soo much more in RL by doing so.
One of the reasons people don't like to fight too many enemies is because they enjoy RL too much and this is game, a hobby and sadly no matter how many cities you have in Grep - you're still the same guy/gal that will look back one day and wonder if it was worth staying up those extra hours to defend that city rather then go outside and shoot some pool with your buddies.
So before this thread evolves into a "DN is awesome because we're taking cities and still fighting sooo many people" - think about it long and hard and then ask yourself - when all the years pass and you look back on your life - was it really worth pouring all those hours just to be able to post "We're still going strong" If you do then I think that is a little be sad because life has far more to offer.
I hope you all read this with the kindness and sincerity it was meant with - seriously though - if you're reading this - and you're wondering whether to log off Grep or not - just do it - go out, see your friends, act stupid, get into trouble and down a few (for those of a legal age) because if you lose a city or two sure it might sting a bit - but the memories of a fun, wild night - those bad boys will make you smile for much longer
