I would be surprised that you were netting when you knew SoF was coming for you. At worst, that is poor planning on MD's part.
None claimed MD won. They just don't give SoF credit....for some of the reasons you stated. Yet, we are supposed to ignore those same reasons offered wrt the previous set; MD FSd a mostly netting SoF.
Its almost the same. SoF knew MD was coming. I don't know exactly what SoF wanted, I thought I heard you wanted 1/2 your alliance to war and 1/2 to net or something? Either way, you knew we were coming. You called in LaF for a 2x (or whatever it was) advantage over MD and MD went down in flames.
I think it was reasonable to assume, at that point, given your victory that MD could back off. But no, you came after MD the next set as well. Maybe some in MD suspected you were coming, I don't know. But the set was supposed to be netting and that is what MD set up for. MD certainly didn't go running off to make it 2x against you. MD fought it out the hard way, and lost.
SoF wants to always win its wars, I think AT gets that. There isn't any interest there in "fairness" or sportsmanship. They just want to win. That isn't wrong, it just is what it is.
The sooner people realize reality, the sooner they can stop making dumb assumptions like "if its even they'll fight it out".
