One of the issues TAF appear to have with OE is that ETL attempted extortion on their leader - aka pay me UU or I mass you - in ascension but never the less...
Now, it's also on note that TLE have done similar things - pay us naq or we mass you. Give us tribute or we continue massing you, etc etc... There are circumstances with some of these I know but in the end it's very similar, possibly the same. There has also been random massings of individuals and stuff like that.
So... what I don't understand is why any side is claiming the high road? Because I have seen that TTF are claiming they are fighting for the game to be 'how it should be' but if their collective includes those who will do things that are so similar to what some of their enemies have done, how can they claim to fight for what the game should be?
All it seems is that they are fighting for the right for themselves to be dominant.
FUALL are fighting for a similar thing but they aren't being as righteous about it.
And while people can say there should be no dominant group, games like this just don't work that way.
Well I need to answer this post...There have been several...hm..missdeeds in past on both sides. And I must say that I, personally, have been dissapointed by many actions that were taken after CoP vs CIA war. Some know what I'm talking about and some don't.
As some people know, Slovenia United was dragged into this war. We had no desires what-so-ever to be in it due to some facts. We have individual allies and enemies on both sides, are close friends with one alliance from TJP, but we still wished to remain neutral which was proven to be impossible.
As a few members of FUALL were the ones who attacked us we decided to go against FUALL.
Personally I don't like either side (as a whole) too much. Like a few individual alliances and hate some.
However I must state that at least Slovenia United isn't looking at this war as an oppurtunity to become an empire, simply because we hate empires and we were already asked a couple of times to join in a formation of new empire, or into already existing empire but we would lose our autonomy and we declined and will continue to do so in the future. We play this game for the joy and friends and want to get rid of things that are ruining the game for many players, not become one of those things.
