actually here's another convo

"Unfortunately, I missed about 2 weeks worth of turns this set. In fact one of those weeks was last week. Should I just drop from the alliance instead of bringing the avg down even further? I barely have crap for stock (maybe 120mil at the moment)."

since that guy asked and didn't delete himself first, i asked him to stay in the tag (and he is in the tag, and currently like one of our lowest nw dudes).

given my choice, i would tell them to stay in the tag and squeeze as much nw as he can for the sake of competition.

i am well aware we can drop down to our top 10 countries and take ANW, but that's just lame.

also i've been pretty MIA in recent times, so i didn't keep track of every case, but i know for a fact a majority of the guys who left our tag self-deleted themselves on their own free will before consulting a LaF leader as i know of.
