LCN is a very peculiar alliance...
After being beaten by SoL for a year, they come to an agreement with SoF, MD and LaF that we will all defend each other against an aggressive SoL. During the first two sets, LCN worked with SoF/LaF/MD in our wars with SoL/NA/RD. From them onwards LCN isolated themselves from the fighting and used the conflicts between the major powers to leverage themselves into a position where they could net. There were points where their entry into one of the sides could change the balance, but they used their position of power to secure their own self-interests, essentially betraying all of their FDPs on both sides of the conflict. They must have known their fence-sitting would cost them dearly eventually. Their decision to leak logs from the SoF/LaF/Rival/LCN/Omega chat to TIE, who then passed them onto Evo is a perfect example of this attitude.
However, you could argue that's fair enough, they just want to net... but this wasn't the case, LCN wanted to net most sets, fight wars of their choosing with no grudges afterwards and essentially do their own thing WHILE benefitting from the protection their FDPs gave them. An example of this was the set where SoL/MD/Evo secretly came together to plot LaF's doom. Instead of working with SoF/LaF, they decided to arrange a morale-boosting friendly with our biggest rivals SoL and signed a FDP with MD (who had prior dropped them). SoF had even offered to war with LCN against SoL that set, but we were ignored as we were by LCN for most of the last year.
Furthermore, LCN pulled off another bizarre more a few sets ago. They felt strong as a 50 member alliance and had certain members begging for war. As always, they refused to renew pacts until the start of the set... but this time they dropped certain alliances, clearly looking for a war. Some of these alliance had been long-term FDPs of LCN. It was clear that they wanted to war and had plans for a specific war... but that opportunity never came up. Worried about the political consequences of hitting the alliance they had intended to, LCN instead hit PDM and lost all moral credibility and in fact lost half of their membership. The set after they dropped even more long-term faithful allies and were hit by two of them in the same set.
At the beginning of this set, SoF had decided that we'd had enough of being FDPed to this alliance who has helped us a total number of 0 times in the last year and a half. An alliance that never bothered talking to us for the last year and leaked our last major conversation to our enemies. We never had any plans to hit them, but instead they enter against us in defence of an alliance who has dropped them twice in the last year and a half. Who on earth dictates your foreign policy? You flip-flop more than a sunny day on the beach and decide upon the worst course of action.
Enjoy being our farmland.
Because you totally Need more FDP's in your collaboration of Gangbanging pathetic clan base pussies don't you fagey? Do EE a favor & quit. In fact you know what? You should run for whatever god forsaken country that has to bare you as a citizen in their elections, as that's some GRADE A Tip Top Bullfluff you dribble.
