Last set, we heard rumors that you were gunning for us. We didn't believe the rumors because we figured that, if they were true, you'd sack up and FS us at the same time as TIE. We sat on the sidelines, told you we weren't looking to fight you, and even offered you a pact. You declined and offered us a friendly. Then, you hit us like you always planned.
This set, we offered to pact you. You declined. We offered to pact you and your allies without conditions (even RD) so that everyone could move on. We said "name the pact and you don't have to worry", then offered your allies pacts as a show of good faith (Tav and Pain even signed a UNAP between MD and RD that was contingent upon you UNAPing us). You made vague accusations that we were 'plotting' against you (despite our continued offer to pact you and your allies!), lectured us about who was in a 'position of power', refused to pact us, and then pushed a friendly...which we were willing to discuss, but you pulled it off the table because we were too big for you (lmao).
We weren't 'plotting' against you then and we aren't now. Like we told you two weeks ago, those things about which you're so paranoid are non-existent. We haven't built some super-secret shadow coalition to leave you "outnumbered in any server type war which [you] were lead to believe was being plotted against [you.]" There are no big plans, clever manipulations, or secret handshakes. This isn't about your allies or our allies. This isn't about your 'side' or our 'side'. This isn't about plots or schemes. We came to you with offers of real, long-term peace. We meant them and were ready to sign them on the spot. Havoc, Pride, and Fuji sat down with Sov and Warner on December 5 and told them we'd pact you and your allies right then and there. You asked if we'd pact rival and rd right on the spot if PG and Pain were brought into the chat. We said yes. Sov told us that he's "trying to run SoF very pact light and also trying to have Alliances work for pacts with us based on relationships" (whatever that means) and would "have to discuss that with RD and LAF." We've offered you pacts. You've offered vague assurances, increasing hostility, and more hoops to jump through. You shout that "SoF has been willing to pact MD during several points during this set but MD keep trying to manipulate everything to allow them access to being aggressive towards our allies" but that simply isn't true - WE AGREED TO UNAP YOUR ALLIES IF YOU'D UNAP US. You never made an offer to UNAP us, you refused our offers, and your refusal to pact us is what kept your allies exposed.
Despite your paranoia, we're here without a coalition behind us. You're bigger than us and we didn't bring any back up. That's our secret plot. We hatched this brilliant plan when we saw the writing on the wall and realized that you're not going to just let us move on. Last set, we sat back and took your FS, naively hoping that peace would eventually result. This time, we're not going to wait for your erratic dart board diplomacy or for your further attempts to isolate us. We're not going to wait for you come up with more anonymous, ridiculous rumors or for you to arbitrarily decide that we must be crushed for the good of the game. We're not going to wait for you to jump us again or for RD to farm us before you do. MD declares war on SoF.
Please put both parties on DNH, Omega will be policing for MD.
