Re: |PW Round 41 PVC|
my banker
here's the thing:
i was allied to 624/632. 625 was intruding on our core, and for some reason Galactica had this huge fleet and was in the process of 'farming' 632. i had 1 of 2 options, i could send my fleets 5+ ticks to help out 632 or i could ignore and hope they could push them back.
if i had sent out my whole fleet to try to break a a 625 portal, it would have left me vulnerable to attacks by 626 and 619 who are in a skirmish with me at the S2/4 border. On top of that, 625 would have come after my fam once they had finished with 632. I couldn't see my fam standing up too well against 3 fams during expo phase with me and Total War being the only ones doing a decent amount of attacking.
With regards to 624 feeling tht I betrayed them...I had sent multiple messages to funeral and humidity since BOR asking them how they are doing etc. No reply from my allies. So Galactica comes to me with a proposal:
- drop both my allies and form a tri with him and (another high ranking fam
)
Galactica will tell you that I took ages making this decision because I didn't want to have to drop my allies. Even Total War will vouch for me here. If Galactica kept attacking 632, the possibility was that they would go inactive thus leaving my fam to fend for itself.
Eventually, I convinced Galactica that it would be best if I dropped 624 (hard decision) and the new tri to PNAP them. By forming a new tri with 625 and 632, I, am not bragging but, saved them from getting pounded and dropping. Honestly, I couldn't see my original tri becoming and holding onto the top spots.
