If I remember correctly, you guys were around long before Skill. Therefore, your goal must have been to last until the end of the world, and then hopefully war the other large tribe in an epic war. I just hope I'll be around during that time.
Yes, obviously the goal of every tribe is to survive till the end. And yes we are older than the tribe that is now called skill? however their predecessors are about the same age.
However, since the get-go of the alliance the goal was to make it to the last two tribes. This pact is much different than our 3DX alliance, which was only made to keep them around as food for [R] as we slowly ate away at [R]. Another example would be our LFOD alliance, a tribe which we never planned to go to the end game with.
The skill? alliance was a tactical move for both tribes involved. It basically allows all support to be sent to the front lines, instead of worrying about a side attack that could be quite lethal. That and the fact that Skill? is a respectable tribe, much unlike the other tribes remaining in this world, made them perfect allies.
