There has been alot of chat on here.
So THE JACKEL will tell you how it Has been and How it is.
This is my humble Opinion. I am sure many will agree and disagree.
But here it is:
Firstly - The main players were TE (Bone), IS (SPyda) UgTb ( Tinkerbell).
For many Ticks nothing happened.
Then under the leadership of Jose TeTg instigated the attack on the union.
Almost all alliances followed us in. But it was Tetg who started it.
A numer of Ticks after this Bone went inactive. So Tetg took over ranking.
Many subs were formed.
Then the most fun this ERA was had in watching TeTg chasing Victors Relic.
Very Amusing. Well played the union and TCK. Good TV.
Bouyed by our victory and the amount of subs. Tetg started to Look for the next Target. With a view to a round victory.
The nearest targert was IS and TIS. It was deemed that if we took these two alliances and owned their nuke field. It would be a catilist to own UgTb.
12 hours after we started war. Jose went off line. He has not been seen since. We still do not know why? A worry as he is a good guy.
So the attacks on IS were sporadic. As the leadership was offline.

Then we had many people screaming for a ceasefire for rememberence Sunday. (Ragin Cagin and others).
An interesting concept considering this is a game played in the whole world. I am from UK so I understand the concept. I wonder if players from Germany and Japan understand the concept of honering USA dead?
Also there has been so many wars that every day of the year we could all theoretically honour someones war dead. But I digress.
UgTb being so loud about this rememberence.
Then broke the ceasefire and indeed the 1500 tick nap. they still have not declared War.
Am I going to shout backstabber. NO. they made the right decision to attack. They should have honoured the 1260 time line, but hey ho, thats life
What happened after?
Ugtb army was very effictive against Tetg. I.E lots of CAV anti infant and Heavy.
Allthough there were lots of TE subs. Most only had a few active players. Many are more active in other worlds.
So when the super active Ugtb started to attack. Actually because of their army size and type it was easy to roll over the terroritory.
Once this started to happen then the writing was on the wall.
I cannot talk for subs but I can talk for Tetg.
You need active, loyal players prepared to take one for the team and fight for team. (You know who you are)
There are a few players I love (you know who you are).
Then there are others who chose to save themselves, their crystals and their army and come up with pathetic excuses to justify their lack of character (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE).

To summerise. Congratulations to all of my friends, I would feel proud to do what UgTb did and start another era at the start with you as I know who I can now trust.
Congrats to UgTb and SOS. Well played.

to Finnish. I stayed Loyal, Active, had my victories and my defeats.
Respected my ALLIANCE, Respected my FOES.
Importantly.
When I Look in the BD Mirror.
I have my self respect.
