Yeah, i mean reasons for hitting us are pretty easy to understand.
At least I think so. Maybe I'm wrong.
Anyone who is not in my ally is a target. I (whether correctly or incorrectly) assume that this is the case for most people.
I will openly admit that I'd prefer to see Either JJ Or Twigs ally fall before I turn towards OF. OF have not really rallied to anyone's side and I'm just here to fight until I can't. Twigs and JJ are friends, friendly with each other, outside of the game. This relationship and the like mindedness of each other's respective members make it easy for them to be allies.
Does this mean that they are allies? No, but naturally they would be the first the other turned to for support/help in game.
So I see my options as thus:
A) stand alone, attack someone, get attacked back and have other helpers, vultures, 'enemy combatants' send on us til we fall. we die.
B) align with jj and twigs to hit OF as they are the top, then JJ and twigs go for the win, and both of them attack me to use my acres for their competition. we die.
C) align with OF and see what can be done about twigs and jjs alliances and probably die in the retals that occur. we die
D) try to attack the other alliance that OF doesnt hit to keep it all 1v1. pray for no retals from the other alliance(s), and of course die.
E) sit on my hands and die.
F) work with OF and either twigs or JJ *and that also can be with or without OF* to take out the other 'tba perceived' alliance, then continue to work with that alliance to tackle the 'rank 1 alliance' and then if i survive all that, die to whoever i was working with. we die.
It's obvious I lack land, but more than make up for it *CURRENTLY* <-- key in troop score.
I attacked today because letting anyone sit on their acre lead is handing my ONLY advantage away in a goddamn basket. (not hard to understand my position eh?)
I don't have the activity for massive waves as has been proven. Until I have an accord reached with any alliance to work on any other alliance (if i even agree to one, i'm not saying I'm just sitting and waiting for the best offer), don't be surprised if you see all kinds of random rushes.
I really have no good choice other than to keep my alliance mates happy and unidle. Where that puts me at the end of the round, I honestly have no damned idea.
So now, if you haven't figured out where Aili is before, you know exactly where we are now. What I've said should really not surprise anyone that has spent more than 60 seconds thinking about it.
