Hi Orbis friends (and Midgard ♥️)! There’s no doubt about it, 2022 has been a particularly challenging year for many. (And I’m not talking about the two rebuilds we lost.) I’m talking about people all over the world enduring various forms of hardship brought upon by increasingly challenging economic, political, environmental and social landscapes. Despite all the cheer that comes with it, holiday season is a time of significant need for many people and non-profit organisations. That’s why TKR is proud to announce the return of Orange Man Gives: TKR’s Holiday Charity Donation Drive, which last year saw TKR members donate time and just over $1,000 USD to various non-profit organizations. Our members are invited to donate time or money to any local, national or international non-profit organisation of their choosing between now and January 1st, and we hope to report back to you all in the new year with a total donated amount exceeding last year’s haul. In the meantime however, we’re inviting the rest of the Orbis community to join us! We invite you all to make a donation or volunteer time to a charity of your choosing between now and January 1st, and let us know in this thread about the charity you’re supporting and how and why you’re supporting them. We will be raffling off a prize of $250m (PnW money, of course) among all non-TKR players who make such a post below before January 1st at 23:59 game time. If other alliances want to try to out-donate us, we welcome the competition! Just please do not donate anything you can’t afford to. Happy Holidays Orbis! -The Knights Radiant P.S. For those of you based in the US who don’t know which charities to donate to, check out Charity Navigator, which has a lot of great recommendations and search tools to help you find a charity that supports a cause you care about.

Gee...I wonder why.

Elaborate further on this part. I would nitpick your assessments of the NPO involvement, but I'm not concerned on that at all here at this time. But the quoted part, I'm most curious about. Why would the public sentiment suggest that Syndicate has terrible FA/Milcom for you guys supporting an ally? Also, stating that just screams lack of confidence in Syndicate's structure to me for some odd reason. Yet despite all that, your chosen course of action was to bail on an ally (at the time - Cata) and literally sign the alliance that further stirred the controversy (Eclipse)? But there was no concern about public sentiment attacking your FA ability there?

Can I get a TL;DR of the TL;DR?
