Hey man.. I wanna thank NBK for the pact last set. I don't think you guys will wanna pact ESD up this time around though.
It's obvious to me at this point that if we want to be competitive, I gotta let the guys land trade or self-farm or whatever you wanna call it.
I KNOW NBK is dead set against it and I respect that. This past set, ESD didn't do an ounce of self-farming or land trading. While we ended 4th in TNW and 5th in ANW (we would have been higher in ANW but I brought a good friend onboard who'd been in a war set), it's painfully obvious to me that unless we permit self farming and land trading, we're just not playing on the same field as clans like TKO, PAN and Ely.
I'm proud of ESD. Damn proud. Guys doing the best they can with what they've got and doing it damned well. SV is the perfect example. I just don't happen to see a huge distinction between self-farming and tons of FA to boost a country like SV did. Different flavors of the same thing, IMO. And SV kicks ass. Let me make that clear.
We did it your way NBK and did the best we could. Unfortunately, there's no prize for the "best netgaining tag that doesn't self-farm". Just the way it is.
I know in the past, I really fronted a seriously bad attitude with you guys. In part, that's why I made the decision to not allow ESD to self farm and further to not pact anyone who did.
The experiment is over guys. It's just not much fun to KNOW you're not gonna win when you start because you don't play like the rest of the kids.
Anyways, thanks for the pact and GL to you next set and every set after. NBK is good allies.
