I honestly don't understand why people who have been outgunned and outnumbered before and found a way to dominate the world can't bear the thought of attempting it again. I'd think OAN's return shows that we're willing to work with others to balance the world...but no one else wants to try. You ask us to rebalance the world ourselves, but how can we without anyone else's participation? Instead of doing a single constructive thing to develop a strong opposing alliance, ya'll just whine that we haven't done it for you.
When we in FFU wanted a more balanced world your answer was "Wait until i've completely beaten your alliance and taken all your forts, then we'll talk". Yeah, that sounds like lots of fun. Look how many dead and nearly dead towns had more forts than active FFU towns by the end of January. Were we just supposed to stand around and watch you and your allies beat us over and over again until you had your fill? We got a better offer and many of us took it, gladly.
"If W10 begins to die out it wont be by our hand"
W10 has been dying out, and it was by your hand. Your war with GC should have been given up months ago so the world could move on to something else. Why did every single fort have to be in your hands before you felt your point was made?
"There have been many many towns we have rejected in the past for fear of overdominating the server it was always a concern of ours not to do that and kill off the world"
Please take another look at the town rankings...even now, after some ex-FFU towns have taken forts from MC towns...and tell me how it doesn't show MC dominance. 10 of the top 12 and 12 of the top 15 towns were MC towns before The Project was started. Assassin's Hollow is a dead town, but it was on that list until we took one of their abandoned forts.
*edit--I just looked at the second page. 25 of the top 30 towns are current or former MC towns. Yeah, i can see you're definitely against overdominance.
Maybe you won't ask anyone else to reskill for forts, but that's what we in FFU and GC had to do just to survive against the MC machine. I personally gave up any hope of completing the key quests so i could be more effective in fort battles as we desperately tried to match MC's strengths despite being outnumbered and out-tanked. Now the Golden Gun, which i agree is not healthy for the game because it's too overpowered, requires completion of those quests. Guess that joke's on me. Maybe it shouldn't have to come to asking players to change the way they play the game, but you certainly weren't concerned about that when it was someone else having to change.
