TGV hit ult with a full 3 waves, CT galraided 1 ult fort instead of ptargetting the ult in 2, FAnG was mostly grounded, and inside sources tell me ND attackparticipation sucked.

Still 4 alliances hitting 1 alliance tho, however you look at it. Not our fault your members are bored of bashing

Really??? Really really??? Has anyone actually tried to war Ultores properly yet? Or has everyone either nap, fenced or bashed them with 3 other allies. 1st round you let them ride away with the win cos you didnt know what to expect.. 2nd round you hit them at start and got bored and then they rode away with it, 3rd round you decided to hit xVx instead because they wouldnt join your party. This round you have kept 4 alliances on Ultores for the best part of 500 ticks to subdue them. Are you honestly telling me now that FaNG with its ridicolous roid and value lead and 14 more members cant handle a bunch of guys with small fleets???

Higher valued?? what value is there in winning a round where you had to all join forces to smash 60 odd guys who happen to play the game better than you???

As for CT/FAnG i can only hope it is for reasons mentioned above. As for ND, i am sure they have their own personal reasons, but i have a feeling it has something to do with a high amount of Ult-block incs before the gangbanging on FAnG started.

a) what does tgv bring to the block? half raid 4-5 planets a night?
b) CT would get pummeled by FaNG in open war
c) who wouldnt roid ND? they dont defend incs...

CT/FanG/TGV/ND on one side... Ultores/App/DFWTK/ROCK/xVx (according to B-Butcher) on the other ... thats 7 out of the top 10 alliances openly involved in politics... and im sure DLR and ToF will have their say before round end....
