2) Arrange early war with Pyro so as to be in a situation where CR could not notice them as per their terms. This involves taking the chance that CR will indeed not follow through on their claim to wave them no matter what. And further to that if CR do wave them take the chance that the rest of the server will action against a pumped CR that neither AMA or Pyro, who will have both been weakened by hostile and start of war, will be able to contribute as significantly to.
Given those choices I?d pick option 1 every time; particularly given the rather patchy history all of you guys have in terms of ****playing each other and enforcing stuff to best suit your own ends (as some of you, actually much to your credit, have admitted in this thread).
By the way this is not to suggest I?m pro-AMA, I generally think all of those in leadership roles of the T10 are a bunch of narcisstic hypocrites and equally deserving of reaping what they sow. It could have been any of you in this situation, AMA are just unlucky it is them (something the rest of you might bear in mind slightly more).
Resultantly I find much of ?moral grandstanding? that seems to run throughout thread, justifying one thing or another (and this GB particularly), rather perverse.
I do at least applaud the effort to build something better for the future; I just fear you have run out of faith within the community already. Therefore I don?t think they?ll bear with you whilst you?re attempting it. You?ll either get fed-up of trying to do it without appreciation or one of you will fall short of the standards and you?ll all be right back to square one.
