WOW, praise indeed!
This world was decided at the end of July sometime, when GO inexplicably declared on FATE. I was at the time trying to get an alliance together to fight winge, but was constantly told that winge are no threat, so we will take fate first, then honey then dogs then winge.......in your dreams, maybe.
Despite refusing to fight fate and pleading for you to stop and ally with fate to fight winge. At around that time the war against fate forced fate into allying with winge and the rest as they say is history.
Tactics and diplomacy are as important in this game as fighting is. Go and Dogs were made very poor tactical decisions.....In the end I felt that as I could not agree with GO diplomacy I had very little option but to leave GO and joined winge, on the premise that if you cannot beat them then join them.
I found myself alone in a sea of red, but I fought valiantly and won the respect of my new tribe who later came to my aid and slowly but surely started eating into k44.
Fate did ask the question, if we help you win the world what will happen to us? Winge promised them, that they would be able to join winge.
This actually caused a problem, because after the war (and yes, the war is over) we had not enough space to fulfil our promise. We were faced with 3 options, 1 was to renege on our promise, unthinkable and this was dismissed out of sight immediately, the great winge do not revoke promises. So we were left with 2 options, 1 was to ditch the smaller accounts in winge, again this was dismissed out of hand as these players had made a significant contribution towards our victory, so we were forced to take the only viable option and to try merge accounts in an effort to create the required space.
Finally, on 12 november we had the space and our promise to our allies was fulfilled, with no back stabbing at all.
DOGS do have some very good players, but really good players need good leadership and that is something that the dogs/go/honey/mad alliance have been severely lacking and it is because of this reason you have lost w8.
You may continue to resist, but it really is futile, everyday we grow in points making your task to get us below 50 million less likely than a alien invasion, coinciding with the second coming of Jesus Christ, and the sun crashing into the earth. Don't hold your breath gents. w11 starts next week, I wish you better luck there, but more importantly I wish you better leaders who know a thing or 2 about diplomacy.
Will the last person to leave please turn off the light.
Goodnight and God Bless to you all.

resistance is futile
