Butter is bad for you,do not be fooled
I have to give them credit (Butter) they pact most of the alliances in 54 that are of any threat,now they will feed on SOD and gobble up there good players while everybody else waits for there turn.This is a great strategy IMO.
Best thing to do here is sit back and laugh I think.
A once wise person told me a long time ago... That this game can change very fast,if you ever feel to comfortable then this will be your first and last biggest mistake.
What pt said about his alliance being weak and most of there players doing nothing to help while hiding away scared is probably true.We have all had this experience in game I am sure,where these type players just want make you tear your hair out.
If they implement the alliance online button it would be a great bonus in future gaming.
