They are probably one of the worst alliances to win planetarion, which to me is a pretty big achievement. That to me is simply good stewardship of an alliance.

Which just enforces my point about "deserved" wins.
I must also add that there is subtle difference between what Eysium did and what Nd/DLR would be guilty of should the same thing happen.
Elysium took advantage of round mechanics in terms of FAnG folding. ND would be taking advantage of deliberately circumventing the alliance limit rule and being able to choose the best 55 of 70 players.
It's beyond me how fickle people are. When Ely did it there was outcry, when ND merged with Sin there was outcry and it's now suddenly "ok". If 1up or eXilition had pulled a routine like this we'd be flamed for years to come. The hypocrisy makes me retch. It's the last I have to say on the subject so any points related to this matter henceforth will be ignored*.
* Again, this isn't a concession, just that the level of double standards being shown is something I'd rather stay well away from.
