So be it. You cant completly destroy an alliance and if XF wants to hang on to past impressions of glory continue as you are. But any ideas of actually getting Tenerifis back are nothing but delusions.
I dont really think XF is delusional or hanging to any impressions of past glory ... (actually when was XF ever that glorious?  )
But whats left of XF, well actually its very core, XT, might be sticking to XF and its former territories because they ARE XF?
XT founded Xetic back in the beta of EVE, i d be surprised if they d gave it up that lightly. Others might have done so, but for myself i can only respect the decision to carry on, no matter what.
XF never was a fighting alliance (even if some part of it believed so at later stages), it was founded initially as a trading alliance. XF ultimately failed on a large scale because parts of it became delusional and were confident of their own greatness. Reality catched up with them. But i dare to say these are not the (few) ones who are left in XF. Whats left of XF is quite traditional, they are aware that they are no pvp gods, and i m pretty sure they are aware that they cant compete with a pvp force like the 5.
In the hard time XF obviously had and has i would say what they did certainly was a success for them. No matter if they had help, no matter if its only a nuisance to 5, no matter if its only temporary.
They never gave entirely up, and decided to chose the hard way, and stay in their former territories. The easy choice would have been to disband, join another alliance, or just go elsewhere where its easier to live.
They stayed, and chose to fight. Maybe not as vicious as some pvp corps or alliances would, maybe they need more planning time, and maybe they have a lot more losses. Nevertheless they do fight for their space, for their ideals. And that deserves at least some respect i would say.
With that said, congratulations to XF for showing a new spark of life, and a well planned and successfull operation. Good luck for holding what you gained.
And at the same time good luck to the 5 in retaking what was lost. I m pretty sure you ll manage eventually, but some POS's should be a challenge even for you. But then challenges are whats most interesting here ;)
