I have a few points....
1. I dont understand why we are supposed to feel sorry for 40/41 cuz 25/31 broke NAP. Does it suck? yea, wasnt neccesary. But its not really our problem.
2. You guys have had an excellent round. You have been at the top of the rankings. You have engaged in some hard fought wars. You guys have my respect and admiration for how you handled this round.
3. 40/41 is our last real opponent for the round. We dont wanna just sit here and infrawhore. Thats boring as all hell. This is a war game people!! its about the wars! That is where the fun is at.
4. I dont care how 40/41 trys to spin it, but Aleph ran down Colo's fleet and took out key portals. You just dont do that if your in a serious war with another alliance. How can you justify that? You cant. You mess with the bull, you get the horns.
I really think this is being blown out of proportion by 40/41. You guys are having one hell of a good round. You might not come out on top, but dammit i would be proud of what you accomplished so far. You guys have my respect, win or lose.
