Yeah, it wasn't 3, 3 were the ones that actually announced it, if you payed more attention you would know that, a lot more quit and many are thinking about it, they openly admitted so, also, want the list of the members who left after I joined? Most of them were in our area, so members of LoTR in my area are pretty scarce.
Also from the 3 who left, 2 of them were some of the top players in the alliance, some of the few that weren't simmers, that alliance is 20% good players, and 80% "let's just see where this goes", it had amazing prospects, looked like it was going to go places and do things, and then lack of real leadership made it sink, and it will keep sinking, that's guaranteed.
Name one thing that your two leaders have done for the sake of the alliance, scouting for good players etc.? Nothing. A pact with APOLLYON and that's pretty much about it, I don't know why is Kevin leading an alliance, he can't lead his own city.
