blaze, you seem to want to take every opportunity to attack DEFCON, and by association DCT, which I think has clouded your judgement a bit.
First, in relation to HHS yes of course we got some support from our DEFCON allies in terms of defensive stacking, and this was discussed quite some time ago on the DCT/HHS war thread (I think it was even me that mentioned it, without going back and checking). However, that support actually came fairly late in the day and made very little difference in the scheme of things (although it did save a few villas which is always nice), as defensive support (and as balzi says the offensive imput was very minimal) would not have won the war. HHS had a number of problems of course, mainly to do with inactivity, far too many mixed villas and their sprawling family straucture. But all the same we did do ok (to say the least) against an opponant 3 times our size, and in my opinion DOGS had a big error of judgement in having a NAP with HHS (so far as I'm aware, they certainly never attacked any of them when we were carving them up) rather than realising what a rotten tribe they were for the reasons I've outlined and steaming in before we did...
But all that is ancient history now. What of today? Well, yes, of course any tribe that was allied to another would be pretty poor friends if support wasn't offered in time of war, and as the fact that DCT and DEFCON were allies such a situation should have been obvious to everyone from the start. But so what? It strikes me that this is no great revelation, and nor is it something that is going to bring success to us by itself.
But what I would say in relation to your comments blaze, is that while H D have so far grown successfully and gained a good ranking, so far as I'm aware you have yet to face a serious conflict on more than one front from a good opponent (and of course in relation to DCT we have always classed DOGS as good opponents regardless of the banter). So therefore your tribe's ODD is remarkably low indeed for your points rank, and I would therefore suggest that you are essentially untested. And that I believe makes your comments rather cheap, although I do not say that by way of a personal insult, it's just like I said at the start I think your judgement is clouded...
