So in s5, I did a bunch of stupid articles and here's a repeat.....

Studies Have Shown Top Alliance Members Become Farms in New Servers

A survey of farm IGMs have revealed a frightening trend: many former members of top alliances become farms in new servers. Experts are stunned by how this is possible and top robbers....frankly couldn't care less.

How could people who must have been great players, since, you know, they were in a top alliance in another server, have fallen so low? After all, they probably have demonstrated astounding WW feeding skills at a rate of one shipment per day in previous servers!

It doesn't help that top robbers could be largely unsympathetic to the plight of these former top alliance members. "This guy told us to watch out since he was going to have cats by the end of the month...well, aren't cats supposed to roll out this week?" reflects Lex Luther, "Another guy told us he was from RATAN and well, I hate RATAN so he's getting farmed extra hard."

The last one was sooo cute. Made me think of holding hands and singing songs.

Resource donations and military aid.. helping out farms is always fun!

I bet their mass messages start with "Hello Brothers and Sisters".. like so many of those creepy alliances do.

What is so creepy about that, my brother? We are all related in [insert New Age gibberish that even most hippies are embarrassed to be associated with].

How about a little wager? At the end of the weekend, if your pop is higher, you can pick a new name for my alliance. If mine is higher you have to join.
