DDC and CLS were the most powerful corps in Xetic. Alliances ARE their most powerful corps, the rest are along for the ride. The Xetic that exists now is the trash that should have been taken out long ago. DDC and CLS didn't betray Xetic, they changed its name to ASCN and are now clearing their space of useless people.
There seems to be all sorts of ideas of backstabbing in Eve. It's not true. Sometimes the people riding on the coattails fall off and need to be swept into the trash. This is what we see happening and confuse with backstabbing.
Well,i guess all corps who actually fought in immensea and tenerifis should have abandoned the ship and let the 2 strongest corps take the combined heat of the coalition,the 5 and red alliance...sorry but there's some flaw to that line of reasoning,at least imo.Then again,people are entitled to opinions of their own and i have to respect that.After all,when we declared on mon'n'pop along with E-R and Black Lance,they decided to "get along for a ride" in ASCN just to transfer the war and left the alliance afterwards. To tell you the truth,we were expecting it and the reason NBSI declared on mon'n'pop was that it was a cheap way to get a war with ASCN,so no worries there either 
I was going make a long post about "getting along for a ride" but I'll keep it short. We did what we had to do for being a 50 member corp (incl alts and inactives) being war dec'ed by a nearly 300 member pvp ALLIANCE. And no, we didn't consider paying 1 Bil ISK to be "blue" to you guys a worthwhile option. If it was to get to ASCN cheaply, then great you got your result. However, we didn't ask for their support, they offered it willingly. ASCN enjoyed fighting you guys, and we enjoyed fighting you guys too.
I doubt Alow's post had anything to do with that though, since he wasn't with us during the war. It was an honest assessment that the large corps in the alliance do have the most power, for good or evil, just a statement of fact. Sometimes the smaller corps hold them down since it's harder to run an alliance than it is a corp.
Dang, that still turned out kinda long.
