I still don't understand what it is the NC is supposed to have done to FLA.... It sounds like you guys might've just fallen for the propaganda MC used at the time to try to flip some of the alliances who's territory they conquered.
*shrug* The "NC" that is now is nothing like what existed back then. It wasn't nearly as organized and defense policy was no where near existence. Sure, there was a blue list that was more or less dictated by D2, but from my perspective, the only really close entities at the time were Morsus Mihi and Razor. D2 pretty much did their own thing and if they told us anything, it was usually at the last minute. Back then, we sort of looked to them as the senior partners.
All I know is that I was always friendly and dealt straight-up with Bobby Atlas. I even kept the secrets he asked me to keep when it would have been politically advantageous at various times to air them. When Atlas Alliance was in its formative stages, I wanted to find a place for them because I liked 'em, but there really wasn't much available at the time. RAWR was itself still growing and asserting itself. I just chalk it up to bad timing, really. Ultimately, they found a home in the east with Smashkill (with whom we were arms-length friendly, at the time). The rest is history. Honestly, I'm pretty happy to see them fourishing.
At no time was the "NC" (such as it was) of that time responsible for the defense of FLA space. I do recall RAWR being deplyed in Fountain at the time and us asking D2 if we should come back up there to help out only to be told "no" and that we were needed where we were. Communication was utter crap. Ultimately, D2 couldn't even defend itself from MC and its friends. Tenal fell. Perhaps Tribute might have fallen as well due to the disparity in capital numbers each side had at the time.
Things are a bit hazy after all these years, but that's my honest recollection.
