Good overall assessment of things on5laught. To respond to your question as to what end Sanctimonious is playing, I think we're simply playing to play and enjoy working together as a team. If teams were locked before WW then we'd have made a go at it but with the system the way it is we're just here to fight. Besides, it's the journey not the destination right
. WW here has been a bit of a fiasco, I've already commented on that in the WW thread here.
We've had fun this world and that's something I haven't been able to say about a server in a while. We've met some great people this world, worked well as a team for the most part, and enjoyed a good measure of success against most of the alliances we've fought. More recently we've expanded into 53 and Plague, to their credit, are a tough team and work well together. It's true we've not enjoyed the same success against them that we've had against LF and that's not a bad thing. It wouldn't be fun if it was too easy. 53 is a little far from our core and getting on our feet there has been a challenge but we're surviving and it makes things interesting that's for sure.
Looking back, we could have made WW preparations sooner and tried giving it a bit of a go but we came to Dimale late with 8 members and never really expected to be where we are or find so many great people to work with. It's been fun so far.
As for the other alliances on the list, I'll reserve judgement. Some have played well and others have embarrassed themselves (I'm sure ya'll know who I mean). I will say though your comment on Kamikaze, though basically accurate, doesn't quite do them justice. They've played without merging and they've had some serious internal problems through out the server but they've refrained from merging and held their ground well and there is certainly something to be said for that.
