Take a few more steps back...
Just prior to "The UN" ( the alliance ) was formed, strangechild tells us his intentions are simply to be at peace and calm things down.
( but all the while, thane, moms and cedars are sending boats and troops everywhere possible in hopes to stir up more of the "you didn't post this / you didn't post that / you don't have permission to be in our waters " BS - and all the while, BdT players are giving TNA insider information about where we attack, how many troops we have, etc etc )
As soon as "The UN" was formed, duramor tells us "we are fed up with thane, this alliance is so we can get away from him and stay at peace" ..
( but all the while, we are reading logs and being given plenty of information showing that there is a much bigger master plan that is being worked on ... )
We gave warning to "The UN" founders that what they were doing was a very bad idea and will sour very quickly because of the deceptive nature of what they were attempting to do.
( these warnings were ignored, and they even tried saying "dont worry, this is the start of something good" as if anyone would be dumb enough to believe it. )
ACER members joined by the dozen because they were under the impression that "The UN" was some sort of extension of the actual "UN", and they were going to be part of something new and big and generally good.
TNA members joined by the dozen. ( They had a much different agenda for doing so ).
( all the while, we are communicating with leaders in omega, trading obvious proof of lies and deception, eventually it's decided that we honor our pacts with TNA and with ACER, but since all the lies and deception are being perpetrated from "The UN", they clearly are not honest and not honorable, so war it is )
ACER members quickly realize what the truth of the situation was, and they quickly went back to their home alliance. "Immunity" is given to these players because with all the crazy BS they had been going through with NbN at the helm, how can they be held liable for being misled...
TNA members quickly realize they are up a creek and in an even worse position than when they started, so they tucked tail and ran back home quicker than an uncle at his nieces house when his brother shows up..
( now.. some really quick realization of "oh $hit the, gig is up" is discussed within TNA, and negotiations and offers are made to any and all who will listen.. Since they have been trading secret information with BdT for so long anyway, and they know that all of Omega is soon to find out the level of traitorous BS they just tried pulling - they figure why not merge with the "enemy" since all of Omega will soon consider TNA the enemy anyway... )
Fast forward a few weeks :
Havoc is doing everything possible to stay neutral.
( but all the while, TNA is sending their members favors and resources and trying to help any way possible, and offering their members to join TNA ) - technically this is called POACHING and is generally considered grounds for war... But that is another story entirely...
Ownage is doing everyting possible to stay neutral.
( but all the while, TNA is trying to send their diplomats as much propaganda and conspiracy theory as possible. Trying to scare/convince them that there is no way they can make it on their own, trying to scare/convince them that GW and Warlords will just turn our backs on them and if they dare join in on the war they will just be left for dead and be up a creek ) - technically, if Ownage joined in the war, then TNA would be surrounded on the North, the East and the South, and it would make it that much easier to overcome TNA on a wider attack front.
Warlords is doing everything possible to mend the damages caused by NbN....
( but all the while, TNA is sending their top players as much propaganda and conspiracy theory as possible. Trying to convince Warlords that their future is better if they called a truce with TNA, and distanced themselves from GW. Trying to spin battle reports and spin lies to convince their top players not to participate in the war ) - honestly, Omega has been pretty darn boring for months, the top players would do anything and everything for Battle Points - and they have thousands more boats and troops sitting at peace in the southeast - sending hundreds and thousands more boats and troops wether for "great" results or "terrible" results doesn't matter much because they are getting BP one way or another, and by god, anything is better than the boredom of SIM MODE
GW is doing what we have always done... Keeping active.. Keeping in touch with our allies.. Helping any time we can.. Keeping up the good fight..
( but all the while, Thane spends more time cooking up propaganda reports, conspiracy theories, lies, threats ..... ) - you would think if a person or an alliance was "so great", "so innocent", "such great and prosperous warriors" -- they wouldn't have to spend so much time sending out invites, sending out MM's, begging, pleading, demanding, back-stabbing - they would just play the game and end up winning.... Right? I mean seriously, I have personally talked with most of the top 50 players at some point or another, I have personally talked to the leaders of all the biggest alliances at one point or another.. I think we all know exactly who our friends are.. And I think we all know exactly who spends more time spinning BS and making dirty backhanded deals than playing the actual game.. )
