1) Intel clauses are a !@#$ to deal with if you're connected to two sphere leaders.
2) I have not referred to the vagueness SK's declaration of war at all. You're just trying to "spin" it so people will become anti Alpha after what they've done to the "alliance" you're currently in. But that's fine, we all live in our own world and are entitled to our opinion.
3) Respect is a two way thing. You give respect, you get respect. tS/Alpha respecting each other's alliance is a completely different thing but the principle still stands. Chances are, if tS had laid everything down, James/Steve would have done everything they could to stop it, like they would have done if the situation was reversed. Now, don't take this as me blaming tS for SK being hit. I'm just a neutral bypasser.
