we're dominating and we dont have to backstab

if you would read properly, i said if it is needed.

if ur good enough u wont have to backstab i'd rather go down with honor than win cheaply

Which would only make it easiyer for you to fall.

but i only fall if i'm going up against a lot of money

Why do people blame their losses no money? The best performances are done with little or no donation.

not always routhy, not always, my best times was in koh, that was with no money, but that isint always the case.

lets jus say this if there is a guy with the highest power symbol at tik 450 and used money and u were at war with that alliance that was overall very active is that an even match up?

No it is not, but there is no way around it so you have to man up and do what you can to stay alive in the game. We have had boosters since OC, I don't see why it is such a big deal now.

Kind of referring to ML is it?

Boost, dont boost. Some people do, some people dont. People in school dont have lot of cash to spare, so they dont boost that much (Assuming they aren't THAT rich ). People like me that work, have money to spend, so I admit, that if my alliance is in trouble Ill buy 10000 reds, just to win a battle. Then again there are people who dont believe in spending so much of money for a game. Its just a personal choice.

As for even matchups, you are never gonna find any. There are lot of teams that are not only very skilled, but also very active and coordinated. If your team isn't good enough, dont blame it on the money, or power levels etc. Everyone starts out on an even world, with the same amount of resources etc. Its just upto you how you plan your strategy and relations.

Backstabbing - What do you consider backstabbing? If an alliance breaks an NAP, is that backstabbing? Maybe or Maybe not. Sometimes if both the friendly alliances are going for the win, you might have to attack or kill the other alliance and break the NAP. Terms always change, as situations do. You gotta be mature about it, and if you see another alliance attacking which usually will be a spam bomb, then deal with it, and dont complain. Like Rildor said, people who say they fight with honor, etc, are guys that lose the game and then blame it on some alliance backstabbing them, when they themselves would do it. Backstab or no backstab, you gotta be prepared for war always.
