Dudley Do-Lad,
How do you figure that dune? I have taken a second to try to understand what you are writing - but let's be honest - you are dead wrong - and you know it.
Merry knows me through Dysen. I am sure she overheard him talking on the phone with me, time after time, after time (for over a year!) - with him saying we need to kill dune and me saying, wait, wait. We do not know which side he is on, no reason to attack. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
I already told you, she came to me asking for information - I granted her request. Dysen had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Instead of trying to discredit other people - why not discredit their claims. But instead, you know the claims against you and your alliance are 100% true. And you are grasping at anything in hopes of turning around your destiny.
My letter to your alliance is turning more and more correct. You were at 29. Now you are at 27. That is a loss of 2. Soon it will be 25 - and it will keep dwindling. Your best bet? Merger part II with the honey badgers - that is only way you can achieve the longevity you are looking for. There is no doubt you guys won't be outed from the server tomorrow - anyone making that claim is utterly foolish. But as I pointed out, your territory is not expanding, it is shrinking, and soon their will be no room for you left on Delta. You had the upper hand with us, you played your hand too early, you had it with the harbs, you played your hand to early, you had it with SC, you played your hand too early, you had it with IL, you played it too early, you had it with DoA - and again, you played it too early. You would think after this much time, you'd realize you could have every alliance in Delta beat - if you kept quite and did everything in private. You are too public to find the success you are looking for, in the style you are looking for.
Let's be honest. OTC is not, and will never be a blunt-force trauma alliance. You don't have the membership to be. There are few alliances in the server with that capability - with HB severing from TBH - they now lack that power. The only 2 left are the Harbs and DoA.
For you, things need to be micro. You are in a confined, small playing area (as you said a while ago, you might have "genocide tendencies" - but you don't have enough guns to back them up). Being a global alliance, makes zero logical sense. You always used to tell me to take care of my territory. I highly suggest you do the same. Begin fortifying the border lines - and creating a powerful shell that cannot be penetrated. I am sure you have enough control of your alliance to accomplish that goal. Everyone coming after you will find it difficult to win that battle.
A line of shields with small spears is far more effective than a line of spears with no shield. blunt force v. blunt force - you lose. Argument v. argument you lose (as you have been severally discredited). This is your chance to prove yourself. Steal that moment.
I just don't understand what is going through your head. You tell IL and DoA - to bring it. Now you are trying to get the war to end through words? Why don't let them bring it - like you told them to? You are that much of a defeatist?
