Mdevol, your quote in your sig is very appropieate for the past few sets.
I definitely agree there. Like I said though, in a way it was good for NBK to get caught off guard. I know I had been getting pretty lazy in FFA, hell I hadn't even set highlights for a couple sets in row. The only reason I even knew we were getting hit was because devol said in our skype chat "watch the fireworks colo" so I was sitting there like a dumb ass excitedly awaiting to see who the hell they were even going hit. Even though it wasn't a fun war for us (which I probably shouldn't even say us, since I did virtually nothing), it really did light a fire under our collective ass. IMO it put NBK back on the right path. It made us focus, and it definitely got us excited for this set.

You had the pact for almost a year and a half. Before KSM merged I think.
You are reading too much into it.
I personally didn't care either way and was not in any shape to war well (ie: my countries)
There was about 1 week that we knew we were going to war and that was it. It was posted on FFAT that we were going to at that time. We didn't even know WHO we were hitting until ~25 hrs before we actually did.
Actually, our first attempt of an FS, only 3 people showed up. So we moved it back 24 hrs.
Mdevol, not sure I can be persuaded otherwise on this one. It's clear that stats are very important to a lot of the players we are facing. Hell I have seen more boasting and player stats being posted on forums then I have ever cared to see. "here is your stats colo, and here are mine", "oh everybody, look at my stats I am top 10 in x amount of categories". Can I ever prove it was CC's intention to pact us and get us to net, so they can blindside us later for those stats and "bragging rights"? No. I will say it sure does seem like it. Am I reading to much into this? Perhaps. But this IS a strategy game right?? I can easily say whatever strategy you came to the table last set with, worked absolutely perfectly. No denying that one.
