(ie i could claim ND were boring and my reasoning for that would be i havent saw them launch an attack all round, which of course is false but i havent witnessed it so i can say that and its true?) Using ND as an example there. (i know full well what i just said is false before somone claims im bad mouthing ND i could of said any alliance)

I am terribly sorry, but we are not playing in private galaxies here. This means that I witness it whenever CT attack the VGN in my galaxy, whenever the VGN in my galaxy attacks CT, and it also means that whoever else is in my alliance and share a galaxy with someone from a top alliance can actually see these things take place! Amazing isn't it?
We don't see your defense channel, however we can see your galaxystatus and do jgps on you. We are not stupid, if we notice 2-3 galaxies being galaxyraided by an alliance, we can surely conclude that this alliance is not at war with these galaxies, it is in fact just going there for easy roids. Can't we?
Also, whenever something like a war happens in PA, the word spreads around netgamers like a wildfire in dry grass. For you to deny that we can't know what is happening without actually being there is silly, as it assumes there is no way for us observe without a membership. Clearly you see how this is false?

Every way to play the game within the EULA is valid, and fine to play. Any alliance can play in whichever way they want.
This does not mean that they will get any respect or avoid whines if they play in a way the community considers to be excruciatingly shit.
I'd say there are plenty of actual facts - like for instance CT roiding my planet 2 ticks yesterday, and 3 ticks the day before, while not even managing to put that many waves on a VGN with 2k roids in my galaxy. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about being roided. In fact I shouldn't care about this at all. What I voice is that I think CT (and the other 2 top 3 alliances) go about trying to win this round in a very silly way. I won't mention all the reasons why I wish that all the top 3 alliances imploded and let ND win (Never thought I'd say that), but I do have my reasons, and if the top 3 alliances didn't play in a way I deemed to be 'shit', I wouldn't have. I think the same applies to Alki, even if he didn't mention it.

All alliances have a choice. Sitting back and moaning on here to me doesnt gain you any respect at all. Going out there and making an impact does.

Yes, ToF/VSN napped to Angels, which lead ND into napping eXi and gave us 4 shit weeks. However, (correct me if mistaken) I'm pretty sure that Angels took the initiative in this case, and I'm also pretty sure that both ToF/VSN finished inside top 5. You could hardly have picked a worse example.
Yeah, all alliances have a choice. Sitting back and waiting until the last week to try to get rid of your opponenets,
and then frantically try to get a lot of support for hitting them does not gain you any respect from the community at all. Actually being active in politics and having an impact on the way other alliances play the round would.
