I'm picking this post not as a personal slight, but because it contains mantra I see repeated over and over in this community as if it were common sense.
If the matches this week are any indication, letting davion help defend our border is only accelerating the clan advance, not slowing or repelling it and I don't mind losing their respect as a unit.
we (NKVA) don't like our opponents. We enjoy not liking them. We enjoy it when they don't like us right back. One of the real problems with this community at large is the unchallenged assumption that unless we all hold ourselves to a pseudo-chivalric code of o7s and <S>'s before and after each round and be friends despite the mechanics of this game we're doing it wrong. This whole attitude is wrong to not just us, but very large segments of the online community as well. Let the hate flow just a little without being relentless scolds about it at every turn. A little hate is healthy for a game about 10 factions fighting for supremacy.
