Well, I don't lose sleep over silly **** like this, but a few clarifications are in order.

* The OP should never have been made...

We're not cool with emorage, and the OP does not reflect Caeruleum Alliance policy, internal, foreign or otherwise. I believe the OP's post had more to do with earlier history in NC.

* OP's corp was never a significant contributor to our military. We had 4500 kills in Northern space against NC enemies during a 6 month stretch of blue with the North. OP's corp contributed about 6% to that, while constituting about 12% of our numbers as an alliance, also being supposedly pure pvp corp. OP's corp is no longer a member of the alliance, and internal frustration at their low contribution has much to do with that.

* We increased our kills and participation every month we were associated with the NC. A number of our critics did the opposite. This is a small alliance moving from a carebearing past towards a predominantly military future. We've blown through our internal goals for the year. We have a close team and are having fun. We didn't meet NC goals, too bad, next project.

* I never had any deal with NC for helping out. We were members, according to the blue lists, but I never negotiated that with attachments. Since we didn't arrive at the table during the summer with a lot of bargaining chips, my understanding of the requirements to secure homespace in the NC were not to our advantage nor in alignment with our mission. So, ultimately we couldn't field the cap fleet NC wanted, regardless of our support numbers, and were in competition with a bunch of homeless older NC members for space. In the post MAX reshuffle, we were shuffled out of the deck. I was mildly surprised, but that passed quickly and we've already moved on, despite what the OP would suggest.

*Bottom line, most people in EFAC had a lot of fun, and good opportunities while fighting in NC fleets. Props to both NC and GBC for making Eve worthwhile for a good 6 month stretch. Special props to Morsus Mihi FCs - we had great fun on every flight with you guys. Now we're looking forward to what the New Year brings.
