Well we kept your attention and focus on UEKI, while we wanted to. If there's one thing you can guarantee it's that it only takes a few words for some people to take the bait..
There are two distinct sides in this war, and each side encorporates more than one alliance. Both pool resources and cooperate to try and do whatever they can to keep the other side from easy success...
Honestly im actually suprised there is so much satisfaction everytime you get one up on us. UEKI is a first time alliance in BD, and Earth1 is the first era I've ever played from the start (I had a couple of partial test runs, just to get the hang of how the game worked immediately before) We were lucky enough to get some good, loyal and sensible members. But no big boosters, and not people who are able to be online all the time. Everyone shows up as often as they can, but for most of us it's difficult to guarantee when that will be.
So as what can only be defined as a Noob alliance, I would have been happy if UEKI had made it to the bottom of the first page - but we surpassed that and im proud of every member for it. Then when we went to the front line in India it could (and probably should) have all been over for us rather quickly but we hung on, danced around in circles for a few weeks, and managed to take some of the pressure off of our allies. I started this alliance on tick 1 with a friend of mine, Law (unfortunately no longer active in BD) on a level playing field with every other alliance, with a good ally or two but no real experience. So really whatever happens now I`ll alway be happy with what we achieved, even if im fighting under a different flag to be more able to effectively serve UEKI, ARM and all of our allies.
Most people make BD seem like a very welcoming and fun loving community, but a few others appear to be full of bitterness and frustration and seem to use this game as their only outlet. I know that some of you will only ever be happy if we all line up, bend over, and hand you the lube. But that can be said of pretty much every online game..
I won't be sticking around after this era is over anyways. So I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has made my time here enjoyable and fun, and a big **** you to everyone else (Im kidding)
Btw, with the exception of the first short paragraph. This post is a general one relating to the whole era, and is not related to the post or poster immediately above. (It would be exceptionally OTT of me to post all this crap just due to Mad MAX's comment
)
