I remeber being recruited by Zeus or one of the IPC founders in r1. The general idea of their pitch was, "we believe attacking is mean, IPC members never attack anybody unless they have attacked an IPC member." I still laugh over that one.
IPC only became a known name because of certain high profile founders (once again demonstrating the point that the people running PA never had any idea how to play), their spamming recruitment drives, and their still incomprehensible longevity.

No IPC's whole basis was that attacking planets significantly smaller than themselves was 'mean'. and theres a major difference between that and what you claim. They believed in playing fairly and while that did at times hinder them they were still right up there with the second string alliances of the time (New Dawn, Fury, hirr, RE, UXF, F-Crew, Sk ect)
You can sit there and dismiss them but that just shows your ignorance of the history of this game and the important players in this history. They are one of the few alliances who have never changed their beliefs, stood by them and established themselves as a force even though their beliefs are restrictive
