Why would havoc otherwise get a Y9 cf from us? This would have never happened if havoc played fair, agreed to original extension we proposed and zauper said they want to accept (after it was derailed by n00b council) and we would have fair war vs. Pyro with ~10% chance to beat Havoc after. When you are #1 kd with massive advantages from pumping all age, especially when pump was made possible with cf from AMA given in good will (havoc got cf for free they did not force it on us) least toucan do is give someone a fair chance rather than seek to erridicate them and give no chances whatsoever. There were ~4 weeks left in age, Havoc could have easily agreed to war AMA 2 weeks before eoa but no they wanted to do everything they can to make sure they war us NOW, especially after the razes happened. To me this is lack of confidence in your own ability and trying hardest to make sure you get all advantages (as if you don't have enough already). These actions only came about from Havoc's greed, disrespect, 2v1 threats, and ****play...if they kept the kd on the path which zauper set it on there would be no issues and fair 1v1 fight eoa. But when you 2v1 in past and then when your main leader leaves you act as same ghetto you once were, then this is what happens.
Also AB you talk about fairness right. Lets examine your own alliance and diplo play this age. You full know there are 6 kingdoms in range, about 3 of them with potential to crown.
How is it fair when 3 kingdoms make an eoa nap and the 4th kd cf them for 10 WEEKS! You realize this is completely unfair to the remaining two kingdoms. What this means is majority of 4 kds will get to put up cows, pump on 30% draft all age, and farm ghettos without retaliation. Whereas the two kingdoms on the outside of your little nap ring have to go through b2b2b wars and get vultured as AMA has done this age.
If you guys want to promote fairness why don't you dissolve your alliance next age, you are competing for crown and trying to prove you guys are good...where is the skill in ganging up on 1-2 kingdoms, putting them through b2b fights, and seeing who can farm ghettos the best? If you guys are good why don't you win crown without allies, or make it to #1 without allies. Alliances are fine when there is an equally balanced (or close to equally balanced) opposing force such as Abs-vs-Non Abs. Abs was the strongest alliance but non-Abs won several ages as well and did good (flogger's wins).
Seriously having your alliance around only says one thing to me that you guys are not good enough to beat kingdoms like AMA 1v1 and need alliance as an insurance policy (the events of this age have proven this).
