uh oh! So after 3 sets of denying that the reasons behind FSing NA were, and lemme count them:
1. 2 sets ago including this one: "We (SoF) wanted to war someone and we found NA. This has NOTHING to do with the LaF/MD/SOL/RD/whoever unbalanced war that we have NOTHING to do with." When the people saw they were obviously larger and more war prepped, they dropped this in 2 days
2. ~2 sets ago: "NA is evil and they ALL cheat. So we FSd them." When that made them look like douches, they dropped this too. Also they denied talking with LaF about these wars and coordinating themselves to kill all 3 clans by overpowering them more than 2:1. This also was later on dismissed.
3. ~2 sets ago: "NA was planning to FS SoF." but obviously, we ran netting countries and we died like flies because as far as we knew we had a pact in the making, or done already with them (I'm no FA, so I'm not current, but I knew at that time we wouldn't have a reason to keep an eye on them), they dropped this too, because that made them look like noobs. llaar posted "You can't FS with Rep Cashers" and they apparently agreed with him.
4. ~2 sets ago: "We looked for a friendly war, but our planned war didnt work out anymore and we FSd NA." When the ppl realized they never approached any NA leaders, they dropped it also (surprise!)
finally they reached this, which is the main reason and the truth:
5. "We FSd NA to keep them out from intervening in helping SOL/RD AND because WE ASSUME these 3 clans had a FDP pact running between them, but we don't know for sure. So...just to be safe, we built war countries, lied around to make them feel safe, then we killed a bunch of netting countries that were no threat for us at that time, but sadly we realize this now."
My conclusion is: why does it have to take 4 obvious lies to reach the truth in a conflict where a war clan like SoF FSs NA in its Reunion set? May I remind you that at that time NA had 90 countries and now we have 30, and at that time we mainly had vets/newbies (around 50 new people and llaar can confirm that) that were not convinced of the fact to remain in the game or leave AND THAT IN FACT, after the SoF FS they said "I'm tired of this game. I wish you the best, but I don't have the time to spend on killruns."
If someone sais AGAIN the phrase: "If they left, this game doesn't need them. We need actives and they're good gone if they're such pussies." I want to tell him something: This is EXACTLY what this game needs. More activity, EVEN if it's little. It's a new country contributing to the data trafic made on the site, which means more money = more development. We brought back many people that now have families and don't have PC related jobs, so they can't stay 24/7 in front of the PC to wall, but they were indeed good additions to this game. SoF killed that.
Now you ask "Why NA FSd SoF?" When we had a stable base of players (able to play at least 5-6 hours a day, building fairly good war countries blah blah) we had to FS SoF, because we didn't have anything to lose more really and as NOW3P said: "We don't like to bend over to larger war clans. We never liked it."
so:
Congrats SoF! Douches :)
PS: Sorry for flaming, but in fact these are ALL my thoughts about this situation. If you wanna answer this, go ahead, but I won't answer back. If you THINK you have better reasons against what I said, send me an email or an ingame message :)
