You were in the middle of a safe zone, sitting on at least 1 mill + points for a long time. You should have had more ODA. Toasty ran two ops himself into Haul, and I remember us making claims and making ground, but I do not remember your participation.

I reached 1mill+ points on 01/09/2011.
Basically when Toasty stepped down from leadership, I could see that S-D is not going to grow we have lost the wars. You took over, I shared my concern with you leading the tribe, you were not practical you thought u can lead. What happened, my concerns were right u steped down. You appointed imred, Angel styles and Subzy as leader. Angel and imred left. Subzy in the end merge us into CODE.
If you had merged S-D into OHYEAH where most of us wanted to go it would have worked far better. Even thoug in the Poll I selected MoM, but most people wanted to join OHYEAH. At least majority of S-D member would be in a same tribe. Toasty leaving does not hurt that much, rather your stepping up and stepping down did.
After toasty went I do not war simply because there is no reason to war, without a direction. I do not throw arrows in the dark. Its better not to throw arrows in the dark. Its better to find light(direction), and then throw arrows.
Toasty(Ace.) asked some nuking and I did it for him. I sent Defense as well where required, but I did not do any planned OP. During war and after that I supported my tribe mates.
Hope u understand.
