Background
This decision was unexpected but was brewing for quite some time. Even before the last alliance updates we weren't happy with our alliances performance and we have tried to improved. Countless efforts by some people who dedicated a lot of their time gave us only very little gains. But we didn't give up we continued trying to make it better.
Alliance Update
After the Alliance update was knocking on our doors we were vocal about our concerns and said that if this doesn't work out we will quit. We still tried to do our best but the results were quite the opposite. Smaller alliance blocks weren't interested in sharing damage between each other due to smaller damage bonuses. Countries weren't happy with the country rosters that we had. There were a couple of switcheroos between the countries but some close friends still remained in the separate blocks.
Current State
Recently we broke tons of records. Top 4 damage battles are fought by https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7b8. https://app.warera.io/mu/690b7aa4a0d3052d4e8bb4ac has the top 1 damage in a single battle. Total country damage in a single day is #2 and for some magical reason it's not enough. Why is that? Well after you open the battle report it's quite clear.
Our people are tired of fighting every fight for everyone in the alliance while getting help only from their closest friends. They lost the willingness to fight because they can't see that people would be kind enough to return the favor.
What's next?
Currently we don't have any plans on joining any alliance or drastically changing our foreign politics. We will try to keep our closest friends even closer and hopefully they won't get mad of this sudden decision that we made
Big Thanks
We want to thank to our closest friends and allies who sincerely tried to help us in the latest battles and managed to reach those amazing damage records together with us.
