tag dropping is silly, silly to win by it, silly to get upset by it, silly to use success with it as a metric, but when we forget what went on in sets gone by we still see the headline numbers
i remember a lot of sets where we would calc who could drop who and finish where in both tnw and anw, in particular i remember a lot of tnw races where you would have to not drop people to avoid losing tnw
but this is one of those issues where some people hide things and some people do them blatantly, i think it would be fair to say evo tends to trim members earlier for whatever reason and laf tends to do it later, this makes laf sometimes look like more of an aggressor but perhaps a more honest aggressor
i believe the bracketed section in the posted pact is not part of the pact but that doesnt really matter since its saying if we think something is going to happen we should deal with it in an efficient proactive manner
it really boils down to a conflict between the "if you hit my dp i can cancel pact" and the "i can cancel pact if you pact someone who refuses to pact me" concepts
at first it may seem like theres no difference but the ways in which you have to netgain vary significantly, having to be prepared at all times is vastly different to being able to react after something happens
i signed a pact with someone that got renewed later on 'same terms' but it leads to problems because people forget original terms or why something had weird terms, such as a ceasefire unap, then sets later one side or both expects it to contain their normal terms but the stakes are high and disputes arise (different case btw)
