I wouldn't exactly call it " full satisfaction" There were problems, just none bigger than I was willing to work with, and once Apprime had gone hostile we simply ran out of potential alliances to hit with. And attacking solo was rarely an option. In fairness, ND did hit really shitty Apprime targets for a while gaining nothing to help ease some of the pressure on us. Evo and Osiris never really came and talked to us when we needed it, and both seemed happy with how the round was going the times I contacted them. If either of the alliances had offered a nap around tick 800, hey I might have taken it. A week later it was pointless. And I put cardi on ignore after he stabbed us, so to me that wasn't an option either.

I actually said the same thing to DZ when he thanked me for sticking with ND. "If this had been 5 rounds ago, we might not have"
