You'd be hard pushed to find any alliance without a native English speaker who isn't more than competent when it comes to PA.

Surely you mean find an enterprising solution using a perfectly valid tactic rather than "twisting a rule" or "finding a loophole". Remember what you conceded last night about how you word things. You're getting dangerously close now to just sounding like another 1up basher.

How dare we make sure we're acting in the best interests of the game before following a strategy. You make it sound like this is a bad thing. I'm not sure what point your making here or what supposition this "fact" is supposed to support.

Where is the ambiguity and relationship? You're trying to find something that isn't there:
Me: can we do X
PATeam: yes
Me: cool, just wanted to make sure
Thats as far as it went. No arguing, no clever wording and no ambiguity.

Like I said. We asked a simple yes/no question and got an answer in return. You won't find any preferential treatment, clever wording or conspiricy anywhere near this mate. What you will find is an alliance thinking outside the box and behaving in a proper fashion with respect to the game and the rules.
