I echo Maurya's thanks for the praise that has been heaped on our alliance, both publicly here and in GC, as well as the many private messages.
As a training alliance we seek to teach new players how to master many of the intricacies of Illy, and managing a combined alliance wide attack on a single square is certainly a unique opportunity for us with a strict non-aggression policy!
Many of our members learnt lots from this exercise, and I am so glad that we managed to put some doubt into the mighty Harmless? until they realised it was us...
Credit must be expressed to the upcoming leaders in our alliance like Devish, Maurya, Mirayam, Sweetypie and others who helped make this happen, in addition to The Mariner. Any that I should have mentioned but haven't is not through their unworthyness, but through my poor memory of the many who helped!
Any alliance looking for great graduates who are potential leadership team members would not be silly to talk to these people - Though we WILL try to retain them tooth and nail!

Maurya and Danathan - as well as the rest of SMA. The hit there truly was EPIC!
You saw my four (blue) troops come running up in that video. There was a concern - seeing the precision of the attack and the level of coordination that was being displayed - that this attack was coming from one of the large (but yet to get involved) alliances. I cannot say the entire alliance was nervous, but I can openly speak for myself in stating that I was holding my breath as the first armies were hitting.
Because I was recording this, I could see that my reinforcements had landed but could not leave the map screen and had no knowledge as to the outcome/losses of the battles. The losses should not be important for this battle to be considered EPIC. It was, and is, your alliance and their spectacular teamwork which made this attack EPIC. Credit should be given where credit is due, and I applaud you!
I truly hope to see more of this - and expect to since the tournament has just barely commenced.
*and yes, I was scared... I said it*

As an officer of Harmless (?) I would like to extend our endorsement of the above statement.
You deserve all credit and genuinely have our respect and admiration.
Bravo.

It could be that the Arran square has become a matter of pride. Not quite sure, but 400k lost is a scary thought.

I have to add, it was especially valuable coming from a training alliance.

SMA's assault was among the most impressive that I have witnessed in Illy. It was as dramatic as the Circus Parade that Peace conducted in Tourney 1 at -500|0
