I normally don't do this forum thing.
There's several holes in this post. It's plain and simple in my eyes. Dishonor, backstabbing, dishonest excuses all to break a NAP and win the era. If that's what winning is to M. It's clear that they had no intentions of being classy and will ally/NAP until it suits them to go after the next alliance.
I did infact message all M leaders (subs too)that Deoxy was joining prior to any BC from them. I received no reply. There infact was no "clear warning" as Dead had mentioned.
M has taken in all players of any rank. Several had approached me wanting to join before they joined M. They have sub after sub. This era is more of a band wagon.
If we need players, Where are we supposed to get them?
Our players don't like each other and don't get along? lol That's news to me. I know that Ultra has a reputation. Raider does. Many of us do.
Apart from that, I'm not aware of It. Messaging each other back and forth would be a sign to me that we get along.
I've been seen around BD for a while now. Regardless of enemy alliances or not. I get along well enough and have picked up friends too many times from opposing alliances.
Sniping is an ongoing issue in BD. I myself have been purposely sniped. Received childish threats from Raider. I didn't go back on my word and break a NAP. Even when I saw You spreading spam for the first time this era, To attack us and go back on Your word.
Concerning JHF. I myself conquered three. Two before You were even in the area. We crashed several ships into them way before You guys actually engaged them. Ask them. THey know we were fighting since the beginning. We paused for negotiations until we were then attacked. So we resumed.
"I did express my feelings to Gratelight and got no response. " Untrue again?
AS far as expanding while at war... Isn't that what players should do? Non stop expansion, spread spam, get conquers. It's how we've ranked up.
We entered this era with no pre-set plan as We usually do. I wasn't even planning on playing this era. We just kinda fell together.
It's true that only a few of us from GROSS are under this tag this era. We were active enough and experienced enough to work as a team and get where we've gotten. I guess we're a threat enough rank wise for M to find an exuse to take us out.
Just a bit from my view.
As I once learned from a friend, Keep It classy.
