Well, to keep this post inline...

These number-counting is useless. Of course LV/CHIMP/KOS/V have more numbers in total compared to RA alone. And of course it is hard to fight 4 alliances at the same time. There is no need to speak about it.
But also RA have friends, with SNU/.RAT/FFA and many other corps having "Friends of RA" in their description. Its not only about the numbers its also a question of the different timezones, the way you see your "friends" and why you choose these.



The Red Alliance HC for sure had their reasons to pick these or that guys but was it a wise decision?? I dont believe so, at least based on the current situation. In my personal opinion RA HC acted to arrogant before the war started. Trying to maniputale others for own goals or "use" them is never a good way. Of course it can work, but it can also end up in a big bad mess.

Before V active "reopened" the war vs RA the political situation was like this:

- 5. left the south, prefering to fight ppl not POS¦s
- 5. gave their territory to RA, without fighting anymore
- V was busy with fighting NBSI/MC then F-E.
- RA had a NAP with F-E (Support thoughts?)
- LV was formed out of some .5. corps, so friendly to V
- LV was trying to have a NAP with RA
- RA told them "Ok, IF you attack V!"
- LV (long friends with V in .5. times) didnt agree.
- V offered RA a NAP, trying to get a stable south-east.
- RA told us "Ok, IF you attack LV/5!"
- V didnt agree, for same reasons like LV.
- CHIMP/KOS formed..also tried to negotiate with RA.
- All negotiations with RA failed.
- V¦s wars vs NBSI then MC then F-E came to an end.
- V the decided to active attack RA again
- LV/KOS/CHIMP did same for same reasons.

So all alliances right now fighting RA, have something in common, so working together is the logical step. RA wanted war, of course of the same reason like we all want war: We love PvP.
So why there are 4 alliances fighting RA should be cleared up now and to whine about that, very well knowing why all this started and who made the situation is, well, strange?

Back to the friends thingy...
Yep its true RA have "friends" but friends who support em only with cash and maybe minerals and logistics, NOT with big style PvP. PPL, who care about their wallet and about a place where they can fill it. If the owner of this place will change, will these "friends" care or just pay the new owner?? We will see.

RA is rich, no doubt, but can they win a war with money and POS spamming instead of fighting?? Do they have to much carebears?? Will their mining slaves be loyal??? Questions about questions. We will see.

In my opinion RA¦s leadership played their cards not very well, but maybe i am totally wrong. Can PvP alliances win vs carebear-alliances? We will see.

Just my personal thoughs. Lets keep it friendly, this is game and we all love to play it.
