while I can sympathise with the desire and intent of the ppl at the top of any game to expect and demand everybody else in the game applies the same standards and disciplines on their own activity and participation, I've seen that attitude too many times in too many games now.
The very nature of diversity means that many different ppl will play this game and they will set themselves many different goals, and while some ppl with shared goals will group together and battle it out with other groups of ppl with similar goals, you CANNOT judge a set of players with different goals by the standards you demand of yourself and your allies.
the top alliances will allways fight amongst themselves for the top spot. I've been away from pa, just back this round and reading this I see two alliances with 'training alliance' tags...in ROCK and F-Crew went to war ....two groups of ppl with similar goals fighting to be the #1 at what they do? See where i'm going...
People who aren't at the top of this game aint necessarily noobs, or they may not necessarily have any motivation to be anything but a noob. You gain nothing by judging them from your respective high and mighty soapboxes.
