Just reading lapakas and Tuzain's posts. I wanna just say a few things from my perspective.
First of all, to put that aside once and for all, never did i ever consider joining Growth. I'm 100% NME and so is Erill. Solo did say that to you about contacting us with my permission just to make you feel even more secure. Ever since we started turning the tables on Loyal, we were talking about trying to recruit their best after we paint their whole stats red. Especially lapakas who was a monster during the war would be a massive addition to NME. Players like Warpro, PP, MMx2 would also be nice to have. You always have to refresh your tribe with good fighters. (E.g. we lost WinterWolf around September, maybe earlier and he was one of our best, if not the best). We also had doubts about some other Loyal players, but talking with Yogi and lapakas and whoever else Solo conversed with made it clear they were a package. So we accepted that, because we didn't want to recruit some as spoils of war, but as new comrades to push for the final fight.
I'm not sure if Solo ever discussed with Loyal about a merge with them, i won't dismiss it, because i dont know everything that solo does or say. But i STRONGLY doubt it because we disliked Sam and hungrywolf who were big mouths and repeatedly disrespected NME. Solo even denied Sam the offer to let him make a small tribe and fight Growth. It was his time to lose, so he deleted after he was denied the opportunity. And mystery nuke fled to Growth, so he was put on the fridge for later. No-one in NME said it back in August, but we all knew this war would happen when you took him in, and even told him to pretend he quit to make our feelings subside.
This war started with 3 months delay for few simple reasons. Conquer as much of the east as possible and finish out inactives. Control k45,46,47,48 to cut off your north trio. In the end all 3 asked to join us, we accepted the 2 and of course rejected hungrywolf.
And now my comments on what has been said:
1) Dan was the one who declared on us back in Feb, so blame him
2) Solo unfortunately had to let you attack some of us, we didn't wanna start the war yet and we unfortunately had to make a few suffer
3) kukla lol ... somehow our very own lesss agreed to take him in as a co. I had objections but i didn't express my feelings because i have no say who co's with whom. Of course with the first incident we told lesss to kick kukla, which was easy because the latter said some disrespectful things about his daugther and other shit.
4) I gotta admit Solo did wonders with the relations with Growth. At the very beginning back in 2014 it was the idea to somehow win the world together. That became an impossibility later on. You even mailed dlhu that I was coming for her. I wanted to eat her for months and you tried to warn her just to make her lighten her stacks in k63. It would make no difference, but still...
5) It is quite clear during our war with Loyal, Growth has been a spectator and they've been just securing the south while dealing with their internals. I'm certain if Loyal started to beat us it would go something like this. Growth would try to recruit Solo, me and a few others, then kill NME and re-evaluate the relations with Loyal and the possibility of ending the world with a merge with them
6) As for spies, everyone has had spies in everyone. Growth had info from our forums back in April and probably has now too. All 3 superpowers had sources on each other... It's just tribalwars.
To summarise, even if people call NME huggers or whatever, we do like fighting and merging the best of NME and the best of Growth to end the world would simply be toooooo lame.
