Apparently, my posts re: wanting SoF and SoL to stop working together were taken as me wanting SoF and SoL to fight eachother so the netting-focused alliances could have a break. This was not my intention at all.
It wasn't? I call bullfluff..

None of the fighting alliances can be considered to be #1 until such a time that they fight other fighting alliances of similar or equal size. SoL vs sof would be a good start.

when was the last time SOL fought a fighting alliance?

sof is almost exact same number of members SoL is.
Both are fighting alliances.
Start there, perhaps?
SoL is DP'ed to all the fighting alliances. That is unnatural and hurting the server. That is my core argument.

sof vs SoL would be good to see though... one of those two is the best "war alliance" in terms of being able to effectively kill countries.

@SOL - fight someone challenging for a change next set... sof would be good
The point I was bringing forward was the idea that SoF and SoL should stop working so closely together because the server would be better balanced by SoL and SoF working with OTHER alliances against each other.
Both SoL/SoF have built their alliances from numbers that were less than LaF, LCN etc as recently as 3 resets ago. Don't get lazy and blame balance on your inability to match these efforts.
If SoF and SoL were to create sides again (like we used to see) where smaller fighting alliances and netting-focused alliances would be pulled into the sphere of influence, that would do a lot to help balance the server in a lot of ways.
Stop trying to script the game. It evolves naturally. You really think SOL and SOF will be pacted forever? You're a massive control freak.
Kudos to SoF and SoL for building two great alliances, probably the best two we've seen on EE thus far, but the positive change this server needs will need to be initiated by you guys. I've been pleased with what I've seen SoF doing thus far, so maybe this post will be received in that same mindset.
The onus is NOT on SOL and SOF just because they are bigger and better than your alliance and your best buddies other alliance in EVO. There are other ways to incite change than to use your admin soapbox to encourage alliances to change their pact lists.
This is counter productive and harmful to the game. I don't trust you when you speak about SOL and the reason why is your vitriol against SOL, posted below.
