Derek,
Reason for failing of CK was not that your experienced player gave priority to their main server, as it was pointed out many times. The reason for its failing is your leadership, decisions your leaders took and your inactivity during later days.
I personally was not spending too much time on Iota but i was playing at least. You were only good with words and long messages. I have no idea what was going on and which direction that alliance was going. When you were active you use to send so long messages saying something which you can say in couple of lines. But the worst thing was those long messages no information about strategy or direction. Thats not all, after that you and your alliance leader decided that they want to declare war against every other alliance.
Because of these reasons all good player started moving to other alliance. Only reason i decided to join Iota and your alliance because i thought that it will be good collection of decently experienced player, but once there was no one left, i also lost interest.
I am not trying to blame you but i expect you to take my comments as constructive criticism for your future endeavors.
