Up until recent months, “EMC” still existed with back room diplomacy. In fact, it’s what IQ leaders spoke about initially when treaties were being cut. When certain moves happened (Creation of TGH-KT bloc, Partisan leading Syndicate, etc) - that backroom stuff was starting to get put away. You are right about the irony of the situation though. EMC did implode voluntarily, but it took time to do so. Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMC did implode voluntarily, but it took time to do so. The point I'm making is it's strange to say you are fighting EMC when half of the alliances that made up EMC are fighting on your side. It would be like if BK and Acadia attacked NPO and GoG and said they achieved victory over IQ. Edited October 22, 2018 by Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acadia is like... the indecisive red headed step child female that can't make up it's mind if it's in IQ or not, and deserves to be beaten for that reason (And many others) at every opportunity.

EMC is a coalition made up around the spine TKR-tS-Guardian. Up until what this summer (2months ago or maybe a little before) EMC still existed with paperless agreements and backroom agreements. TCLs announcement was made what December/Jan? It took 8-9 months before any changes happened. The core remained, tS moved onto Syndisphere and the rest are still intact, so EMC is still quite applicable here, and thats further understated by the couple of pick ups you've had from the IQ side of folks wanting a more "EMC" approach to functioning.

EMC was a sphere that was built around TKR and Rose FA. Saying t$ were one of the key players and not Rose is complete revisionist history.

Sans Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 The folks on this side of the conflict have demonstrated themselves to be much more historically dynamic(tm) in their approach to politics than their opponents.

Roq the guy that took Mensa's idea of consolidating tiers and turned it into a block sized edict. Pre the guy that forced alliances like mine to form a secret block with other upper tier alliances so that we could protect ourselves from Test back when they were happily raiding any one or anything in range because they knew no single alliance could stop them.
