i think i can comfirm the Expendables made them selves expendable -i give this warning to all alliances take them in at your peril, now none can say i didn't give fair warning. In a way it suits Td to have them as Apocas issue, another hampering to them actioning WW but in fairness anyone who thinks apoca are just GP and Exo, well when was the last time Exo attacked you with any purpose or GP held a city without MASS support from Apoca?. strong players are only strong if they get alliance support or - take Cocaine and stay on 24/7.. GP ,eXo. Nubs, Rash and all the rest will fall like dominoes...But the new ZT/Apoca needs to get moving, same advice i gave to all : MM - favour casting times, assigned island managers, resource deliver times (see Froggy for the best way to land res BTW 7 wins out of 10 he know what he is doing).
Anyway back to subject as an innocent (*ahem*) by stander in all affairs i think personally we haven't heard all sides of the story, i am not sure if jon will be on to give his side but it seems that Gond acted with the mandate of the majority of ZT, i suppose you either want to win or you don't -this is all probably music to the ears of TD too, but it appears that certain sections of ZT thought they stood a chance on their own or wanted different terms (i am willing to be corrected if i am wrong) i go by a leaked Document circulated from Gond to the leadership of Apoca/ZT. I would be willing to print this but it may compromise one of my many agents and an innocent party whom i respect , however if i get consent it will be done, I would like to know Jon and IB's take on all this tho, were you awaiting better terms, holding on to stats and therefore letting down your membership and allowing a TD victory (when the majority apparently wanted to merge anyway) or was there another agenda...i suppose this would hold more water if Gond had not ghosted but his views are certainly very interesting...
revision
2/1 - Spaek and Jon end up in TD.(with jon like i predicted back at Xmas tho your denial is still here on the externals - so tell us whats your side?)
