Well to keep it short
ct - is going for #1, helping take out ND is a logical choice
ODDR - well were app flak and have received ND incoming on nightly basis.
allthough we didn't hit more then two ND planets last night
ROCK - Im sure they don't like ND much either, well and its easier roids.
Hex - don't really know what their deal is, will need to ask Kai
Guess if you don't want app to win you'll have to from some sort of block on them yourselves, but that has been tried and failed for many rounds now and the reason is simple.
the block always fell appart due to one alliance not being true to their word, ND, when it comes to politics ND is incomptetent, mainly backstabbing (at wrong time), and most alliances just trust APP more then ND.
that says enough basicly, if i was ND hc i would resign and give other members a shot.
