Thanks for the congrats, prot.
Agree it didn't change course of conflict but it's based on principal and what's considered ethical and what's not. You can't be in an alliance with Pyro/BB/FS and give each other resources for your fights, regardless of how much. It's not right. I didn't have a conversation with you after it happened but have heard hints and posts online that initially you were asked for acres rather than Gc - is that true? If in the old days Abs gave each other gold or land before their fights with Bb//Dreams/Sonata etc the community wouldn't have really allowed that.
The other fundamental issue is why is there an alliance between 3 top kds (or some agreement to not fight each other) when there are only 2 other conpetitors and given age that are not allied to each other. In the old days you'd have alliances being formed to counter other powerful alliances that exist here it's not necessary. Didn't CR just win 3 ages in a row without being part of any alliance whatsoever? Would be great if we could get an explanation on the need for an alliance or making deals with kds to not hit each other at all?
