I reiterate, yet again, that our position has been neutrality in this conflict. Even though most of our friends in PMP have been slowly torn to ribbons by T-W-C's offensive, we have remained honorable in our position to both sides.
Actions speak louder than words, and for Escape... your actions have said it all...
Let me explain,
Also, yes, 2 players have "found new homes" within T-W-C, but if you know any of your regional history, you will note these players are both former WOR players... And if I remember correctly, they have a very strong bond with their T-W-C neighbours. This is do to the fact your tribe has always been a common enemy...
I'll assume you've noticed that the Escape k86 clusters activity has been slipping since day one. We've lost several players over there, it's a pity as they have done an amazing job beating the crap outta your offensive arm, but I can't say it hasn't been expected. Blade joined out of his own necessity - What use is a tribe 2 ks away, honestly? Xin was in a similar standard, just with a smaller account.
The fact that you guys recruited these ex-WOR members (as you say 2k's away) shows your tribes involvement from the beginning (imo). It has become very difficult for us to expand anywhere considering our T-W-C front (And that we are on the rim). K86 was a key piece to fighting this 'silent war', so when our 'supposed allied' tribe (at the time) goes and recruits 4 of our enemy (over 2ks away from their tribe) who all had a 'very strong bond with their T-W-C neighbours' (as you said yourself), then supports them against us... In my opinion, that is not neutral involvement...
Also, as I have stated openly, many times here, I have witnessed incomings on both my own and sat accounts that show coordination between members of Escape and T-W-C. It may not be an official tribewide, however, as Co-duke you continued to allow these members to do so...

Let's compare this to real countries shall we... (FICTION AND NOT AT ALL PROPORTIONATE TO REAL LIFE ARMY SIZES)
The United States (PMP) are 'silently warring' Mexico (WOR) and South America (T-W-C) who are tight.
Now Canada (Escape - U.S. 'ally') decides to merge with Mexico
and send support troops to aid their new army.
As well as their army general (RHCP account sitting in case you didn't get it) to ensure minimal casualties in the area.
Canada's new Mexican army and the rest of South America continue to gank the United States.
There are also a number of missiles launched from Northern Canada into the U.S.
However, the Canadian politicians continue to allow their army to do this while at the same time, claiming to the rest of the world that they are "neutral in this war".

Being in PMP you have the continued biased opinion that we've been plotting against you(possibly do to the fact we haven't gotten along to well in a very long time...), and yet again, I assure you, and the world at large, we have not. If you need further condolence on this matter, feel free to mail me.
You may not have officially declared declared war on us. (I realise that if you did we would be in a considerably worse state than we are now...) However, your leadership actions as I have explained (whether consciously or unconsciously) have led to your tribe being involved in this skirmish and in my opinion that is certainly NOT neutral...
As for our 'not getting along well' I am not entirely sure what happened... But I have seen enough mails to know that it is not entirely PMP's fault...
By the way, these representations are for fun and my own take on things... Feel free to continue to correct me with decent evidence or just flame away for those who have nothing of worth to say :icon_wink:
