Eh... Didn't Sunwolf echo the call to the masses? Lets keep it objective here. Well, try to.
My brother's been in something of a constant state of warfare with a Black on his island. Things are actually looking up on a military point, so that influences me to side against Black. Especially with two relatively big Huns on my island.
The problem I find is that I'm actually more confident in my ability to fight Black than I am the Huns. A strange admission to make publically, to be sure, but its that very reason why were I forced to, I'd fight the Huns. The elite/no-nap BS can be ignored in this case. The Huns won't go for diplomacy with us smaller alliances either so how can that sway anyone? I don't like Black because they play with no Diplomacy. It makes them dangerous on an alliance scale. But on the scale of me, I'd prefer to have no relations with the smaller of the two than no relations with the goliath that doesn't play any nicer.
Here's a tidbit. While my alliance has had difficulties with Black, we've had absolutely no problems with Smash Bros. We have tried, even going through a big friend in the Huns, to get good relations and failed. We have had some minor difficulties with DoA but that, I believe, has long been settled. What seriously messes the Huns up in order for Sunwolf's call to arms being of any use is that my alliance has had one city conquered from us. Black didn't do it. The Huns did. Spambucket.
I don't know if I want to side with Black because I don't like the idea of being used and discarded. But I certainly know that I personally will be speaking against any move for my alliance to help the Huns together or individually. Mang says calling in help at this point is dishonourable. The help of one of our members was called in by the Huns against Black. We refused given the failure to come through with relations, but the fact that the Huns did it with us almost guarentee's that we were not the only ones.
I may have a friend in the Huns and only vague acquaintances in Black, but I honestly can't see myself cheering on the former.
Finton.
