I'd love to hear from someone in leadership at M4D -
Did you all send pact requests to Stones, Rage, SoL, etc? In other words, did you try to pact all alliances. Or did you purposefully not send pact requests at the beginning of the set to some alliances, so that you'd have war opportunities or land grab targets?

It's been mentioned by SJ at least, and I believe other M4D leadership publicly that they attempted to pact SoL at the start of the set, and SoL people have mentioned that they weren't going to pact M4D because TC is there. (If my memory serves me correctly)

That's some scary numbers though.

Give me an hour or two, and yeah, I can give you the numbers on the mercs countries
Make sure you pay close attention too when you do it. Just incase for future trolling on us and steeping out of bounds to push our clan leader around.
I have never attempted to push DD around dude.
I have been honest with him about what is, effectively fluffty behaviours.
Like I said to him directly, and I'll say it publicly, if it was my alliance it was done to, I would be PISSED, because it is effectively pacting in bad faith.
Breaking down the reason why I personally would see it as effectively pacting in bad faith: "Yes, we will sign a pact not to fight you. But, conveniently, half our tag is going to switch to this other tag that *IS* planning to fight you, and we will even tell you straight up that that's exactly what they are doing".
That's not good faith pacting dude, plain and simple.
You don't have to agree with me, you don't have to like that I'm saying it, but them's the facts.
And if, for argument's sake Paradigm countries had tagged over to M4D before war broke out, you'd have blown your top at us too.
I had enquiries when we tag shifted as it was about whether we were trying to quote "avoid pacts" at the time, which I actively followed up on to make sure that everyone knew we were honouring pacts as they stood, and re signing them as neccessary for those leaders who needed that.
If that's not honest and square dealing, I don't know what is.
I like you dude, but I'll still call a spade a spade at the end of the day.
Why would you be pissed? Aren’t you neutral? Are you going to come push DD, the leader of Mercs around everytime he makes a decision you don’t agree with? Especially if it’s something that doesn’t even involve your clan? We’re not gonna let you push Dark Demon around. I’ve seen the screenshots, we’ve all seen it and we are all conclusive in our opinion on what happened.
I've broken down very clearly why I would be pissed.
It's bad faith pacting, plain and simple.
Further, if I pact someone, I try to act with the spirit of the pact in mind, not just the letter.
Again, when we tag shifted, I made sure to reach out immediately to keep people informed.
When I was asked by M4D to police, I also reached out to SoL to offer to police for them too.
We have stayed completely out of the fight, because we were pacted to all sides, because that's the simple respect of honouring pacts. Even with your offer to "overlook" any countries who wanted to tag jump into M4D.
Not because some of us didn't want to, but because we respect our pacted allies more than that.
I've also told you very clearly that what my personal opinions are, and what my policy for my alliance is, are two different things, and I have acted with the best interest of Paradigm in mind consistently regardless of my own personal opinions.
Now, for someone who has specifically said he to hear me speak my mind, you seem to suddenly be unhappy that I am doing so.
As I said, I like you, but I'm not afraid to speak up.
I said I was making a point of dealing squarely, this is a part of it, warts and all.
