I find it funny how you all complain about the element of surprise. You guys already had stacked fronts with us. We have reports to back this up, before any comments come back :icon_biggrin:. Yes, we also had stuff to do over the holiday period, doesn't everyone? It takes all of an hour out of your day to plan/send attacks. If you find that hard to do, when you're probably not working, then I fear for when you are working.
You guys knew this day would come, afterall, you're Rank 1 and we're Rank 2. You're over double our Top 40 in size, so sure, we semi-tried to get an upper hand. Did it work? Judging from half of ZOMBIE's ego-tistical comments, I'd say no. So stop whining about it, and show everyone how truly awesome you are.
Again, I will say this. We attacked during Holiday Breaks. Meaning we couldn't actually work to our full potential because of said breaks. When these breaks happened, and you knew we were attacking, that gave you the time we COULDN'T attack to shift things around and get defenses in order. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but would you not have suffered more losses if we had waited until AFTER the Breaks? Don't you see, we attacked when we did so that we weren't too harsh on you guys. Simple. If nobody see's that, then they are very short sighted.
This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last, that someone thinks someone else has back-stabbed them. So build a bridge, and get over it.
