LaF had the ability to FS all of the alliances at war with SoF and Rival last set. LaF choose, what MD saw as, a moderate response in only striking Evo to avoid further escalation. MD's aide was a measured response. It's not entirely unlike LaF's action, an action that SOL, Evo, and Monsters don't appear to hold them accountable for.

It's believed that MD is a bad ally for not FSing LaF in response to their actions against Evo. It's believed that MD should be held accountable and punished for supporting it's allies through FA. The simple explanation is that SoF wanted MD in last set's war. SoF wanted the entire server to fight your war.

MauricXe may believe that MD is in bed with SOL. He's wrong. Having a FDP with another alliance does not strip either alliance of it's ability to make decisions independently. This should have been made abundantly clear during the August/September 2013 set when MD, contrary to widely spread rumors, did not engage in an FS against SoF alongside SOL because MD doesn't believe in early wars and MD doesn't believe in gang bangs.

The State of MD video that has been referenced several times holds a SoF recruitment message that wishes for a server war. It's not unreasonable to assume SoF wanted last set to become a server war as well. SoF might say that they struck MD because MD was prepping to hit them (based on SoF's predictions last set we can determine that SoF's grasp of MD decision making is flawed). SoF might say that they hit MD because MD sent FA to SOL, it's enemy at the time. The real reason? MD's actions last set halted the escalation toward server war that SoF so desperately wanted.
