So every time I send resources to those gosh darned Wonders I keep thinking of the phrase "We were slaves unto pharaoh in Egypt" (Deuteronomy, 6:21) and imagining Ramses II as he is depicted in the 10 Commandments:

And frankly I feel like I am hauling the resources out, one unit of wood, stone or silver at a time. So yes, it's annoying.
The only thing that keeps me sending out those resources is the fact that the people I've been working with for months to more than a year are also sending out those resources. These are the guys that watched my back and sent support when I was being attacked. They're the ones I lost biremes and land troops for. They are the ones I've had long messages with from topics ranging from the game to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They are the ones that I have Skyped with where we've discussed such weighty topics as Indian Food and Walmart and where exactly TE members live and how it is that they like launch attacks on Saturday night to land Sunday morning. And I can watch the resources bar as I'm doing it and see that we're all in the same boat and they are sending resources as well.
So I wonder what's it like if you were recently a rank and file member of The 13th and are now a new member of TE. It's probably OK for Graeme but for everyone else, how can it feel like you are schlepping resources for the team? It's gotta feel like you are schlepping for Pharaoh in Egypt. I mean you guys haven't fought together, you haven't developed intra-alliance working relationships, you haven't talked to each other enough to know each other. Or has there been something happening all along that we don't know about?
Just wondering.
