You base your entire comment on this single phrase "because they've always had the luxury of being on top".

First, I would like to thank you for considering SOL being "ontop". It means alot to me that you think highly of us.

Second, It isnt luxury to be a decent warring alliance, it takes effort from everyone within the alliance to make things happen. If you think you just happen to be on the lossing side, maybe you should pick your allies and your wars better? Being on the bottom as Imag has been is as much as apart of the game as being on the 'winning side'. Its a balancing act that has positive and negative effects both long term and short term.

So really much of you have said in that statement is pretty void considering where its comming from. Try harder next time when attempting to insult someone.

Edit:
Also, losing proudly without staining your image is as important as winning.
