All of those are good points. We have had some players pop into vacation mode recently, I won't lie. But, one thing is wrong however, we aren't scared of BA's remains. If anything it'd be to our advantage to attack BA. We'd be on TE's good side which is appearantly breaking down BA, but we choose to stick by our old friends, despite thier fall.
In that particualr instance I was only refering to Aefkt at the begginning of this war milady-that his choice was made out of fear, not KoDR in general or at present (good name btw). I personally like and respect many of your members and have got on well with them in the past. Good luck to you guys.
@ Abaddon your in no position talk about people entering VM when you told most of your former alliance to go in "tactical vacation mode". I didn't join BA because I was afraid to fight, I joined because there is members in TE I can't stand at all
.
Yes the infamous "Tactical Vacation Mode" (it was actually called Strategic Vacation Mode) lol. A few key points to consider...
1. We were doomed anyway and we knew it. 3 of the top 5 alliance piling on, all at once- hundreds of incoming attacks per day, betrayed by 2 of your closest allies, CS everywhere. Everything was FUBAR
Ok we got it, It was time for TBLA to die...
2.So the goal became make it a phyrric victory, to choose our alliances death to make it as disadvantageous to our foes as possible--That logic seemed to turn out ok. Without TBLA for target practice what would B.A. and DFE do then? Well we got the answer: In those days while we were in sTvM the war moved on, DFE and TE began to fight each other, and B.A. began to fight one another. No TBLA to feast upon meant= no cities, no plunder, no CP for 4 weeks. The rest is history.
I recognize that TBLA was the first alliance flushed down the memory hole in ETA WW3.
And that is ok we werent great fighters and I wasnt that great of a leader... but when DFE and BA wind up getting flushed down the memory hole just a few weeks later. It makes StVm, in retrospect, look a whole lot better.
We all mock each other when we go into VM, but all be honest here--Its a tactic that when used well can deny your enemy important conquests and frustrates.
