Cem you are so wrong on Haca its not even funny lol!
Both PE and INCOG made it clear we didn't want haca involved in that effort as those boys are no-where near ready - plus there are players in that alliance that are friendly with both CJ and RdlM and as such, we kept them out of the picture.
To include those players doesn't really justify any numbers in the slightest, surely average rankings would show that?
This is purely a coalition effort of just PE and INCOG, nothing more. Do we want the number 1 spot, I couldn't care less for rankings, I wanted fun, I wanted action - and looks like both sides are getting this.
As you mentioned about the stats, yep we (INCOG) have lost a lot of cities, but those cities we knew we would be losing as some of those players are either inactive and or out on the rim. Those were calculated beforehand. CJ has also lost a few inactives - so the real fun won't begin yet - hence why I was too quick to not comment on stats just yet.
What I will say though, hand on heart, is that Haca are not involved in this one little bit. Any haca player that is ready and/or able to get involved will only be allowed to do so under a PE or INCOG banner.
As for us bitching... I haven't moaned once, I have enjoyed the banter, have a lot of respect for CJ and fully understand why you guys are number 1. I know a great many more of the guys in the coalition feel the same way. Heck I even had a laugh with BenjaminGibbs about those guys joining the war. It's a game, it's not real life - it's a pleasant distraction. One day Real Life will come calling again - probably sooner rather than later for some, me included unfortunately - but until that time, its good lolz, good BPs and great banter between a bunch of exceptional players, both in game, and in messaging on forums.
If I am ever to get rimmed, I would rather be rimmed by guys I respect and could have a good laugh about it with!
So how about in a months time, we start seriously looking at the stats in greater detail then, as I am sure we will have a better idea of what is exactly happening
