Nah man.. I think alliances are just fed up with your playstyle 
Perhaps. But do not forget you are in the same boat, some are fed up with your playstyle as well. It is the reason you are facing a 2v1, despite not being the strongest team on paper.
Its of my opinion that there is a bit of fear involved too. This is supposed to be a server of 4 premades. But the moment VICES show up, the server gets boring and is unplayable - we did not remove the other 3 teams. VICES spawning in the server will not remove your hammers. I have never seen a server in which the addition of a single team has made the server more boring and uninteresting - it just does not happen.
Its true that VICES are not known for their OPs and I will take responsibility for my share in the inaction. However, the OCs and offense players of last round did an excellent job imho, especially with ghosting. I think the Cousins' server on Com1 may change some minds about VICES' inability to be aggressive.
What was this about prioritizing the win over fun though? I would understand if you think this is an unwinnable server and wouldn't want to play a server with no chance of winning, but please at least admit this.
I'm not going to worry about you guys ducking us (like CWL did last time), seems you guys are already scheming :). Pete, I know you're ancient, but messaging someone on their wall is indeed public...reminds me of my Grandpa on Facebook :).
