Is EVO really getting to LaF so much that LaF feels their only cause of action is to be pact breakers?

Time will tell if it was a good political move or not, seems for a netting alliance it wouldn't be the most strategical thing to do, but well sometimes the desire for instant gratification is too great.

The problem is that certain clans are so fixed in playing the game in a way that it never was intended to be played. Its clear the goal of earth:2025 was networth, that's how rank is measured, the war room is there to aid this goal, the destructive attacks are there to help you achieve this goal by protecting yourself by removing threats, its not a goal in itself...

"War" clans should use their willingness to war as political leverage against netting clans, as a way to try and enforce policies that benefit them or outright demanding things.
They could also attempt to secure top spots by playing in a way that netting alliances deem non-legit, FA'ing and land trading.. that should create some real friction in the game.

Having recently returned to the game, and having had an all-x country FAed out of the top 10 a couple of years ago I thought it interesting to investigate if LaF still practice this...

Round 9

A failed FA into the top 10?

Round 8 seems clean

Guess he deserved a top 10?, maybe you only counter FAed someone else? not anything my quick check could see though...

Same old LaF I guess, still FAing legit finishes out of the top 10, because their members are more deserving.

hmm, some luck early is probably good for all-x countries..
