Note: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
The only way onwards from a 'boom' period in an economy is downwards, the bigger the boom, the bigger the crash.
When there is a top alliance in a server, there are 2 options:
Join them
Fight them
It seems the warring path Molon Labe and others have taken will spark off this inevitable situation, and will test our alliances on both sides. Personally, I would've picked a better time to attack (ie. times when AoA was weak- which are few and far between) and do it by playing the game the way it was supposed to be played, with something called co-ordination and teamwork, not these whispers and mutterings in an attempt at poaching members.
The fact is AoA is the number one alliance in many aspects (along with our great allies UAE and others), no alliance has stood in our way so far. I ask that this attempt is actually worth all the attention it has been given, and perhaps even challenge us a little.
We are an alliance that has learnt to stand on our own 2 feet since the beginning of the game. I see no problem with our destructive nature- we are not playing happy families here...
ro: and it is a war game. We are where we are today because of a reason, 'survival of the fittest' is the phrase that comes to mind. Evolution is still playing out though, it's only a matter of time until you are either an empty shell, or a converted alien. Even the gods should be wary... The infection is spreading!
