dagga: Personally, I have no real dislike for SOL (though when I left in 2003, you guys seemed to be getting tight with Steel and RD, which is odd, since an RD jr. member ran Ving Thor as his application to gain color status). Fast forward to today, when it seems like you guys have used very poor judgment in picking a primary ally to build a coalition around.
There was a time when SOL and MD were close friends, and when SOL stood against everything the [old?] RD stood for, and were punished for that stance. While the [new?] RD may not be made up of the same people, its name still is a potent symbol, and too many of the returning players see that symbol as a target. By wedding SOL to that symbol of the bad old days, your leadership has made SOL a target as well.
Disclaimer: I in no way speak for my alliance, nor do I have any involvement in its foreign policy.
