I respect your post. But In my opinion,
4 thinking that DNS now has control of how the game will be played by everyone else is not going to fly with many.
5 I think anyone who would participate in Events or any other activities coming out of the DNS alliance is only strengthening their ego and arrogance.
One thing is for sure, 6Many of the Corps. in the DNS alliance are "Alliance Hoppers" filled with "Corp. Hoppers"
Maybe they will stick together now that they have and do exploit every flaw of the game... or maybe not.
As long we as individuals enjoy playing Pubs, FW and the occasional clone pack PC then that is all that really matters.
1) I guess you missed the part where DNS took 96% of MH......
2) So I guess the times Zatara intentionally left one or two districts online for AE to attack falls under refusing to fight each other.....
3) I'll give you that, but in all fairness we were the only people actually doing any fighting, thus the joke ring the bat-phone.
4) You know, for a good long while, everyone was doing exactly what that statement implies they wouldn't do about it, nothing.
5) our arrogance and ego need to be padded, it's very important.
6) DNS was a merger between NF, RA and RND. The only alliance hopper corp that could be seen as such is FA, and we're getting paid from the alliance, don't see a reason to leave. The only backing corp that backs your claim is FA, which is about oh...... one. I doubt that means DNS is full of alliance hoppers.
1. The alliance was not all together when districts were claimed. As corps. joined DNS the total became 96%. Therefore DNS did not take 96% as an Alliance.
2. Of course. Leaving a district unlocked on occasion does not take away from the abuse of district locking.
6. You call it merging I call it Hopping. Not really and issue but it seems it was the easy way out.
This is what I feel like i'm reading when you troll me derrith History Lesson:
AE, NS, ANON and DDB join Renagade Alliance
FA, STB and ML move to General Tso's (they enter into a contract with NF)
Some skirmish fighting breaks out between the two but some corps begin to lock their districts as a defensive strategy. Some of the larger corps are annoyed that they can only defend and cannot attack due to this mechanic. General consensus is that, if CCP is going to allow it to happen, they will do it to until it gets fixed. Everyone (on both sides) locks up and waits for a response from CCP.
Some more battles do happen in the mean time but its pretty light comparatively...
CCP fixes (for the most part) district locking and war breaks out between RA and GTA. The battles are pretty even in the beginning.
Something happens between GTA and NF that sours the relationship. NF breaks ties with GTA.
RA enters into a relationship with NF which pushes the advantage over to RA and they being to start taking more and more districts. GTA slowly bleeds out of their districts.
ERA and RA merge into DNS towards the end of the war. After the war is over, FA and RND (and later others) join up with DNS and you have it as it is today.
The campaign for 100% MH begins
So yes, a good chunk of MH got merged into DNS with RA and ERA but its not like they didnt take that land themselves in the first place during the RA/GTA war. DNS did not take all 96% under its name but the initial members of the Dust side took a large chunk of it and they ,along with those that joined later, took the rest.
