More passive denial. Can't come straight out and say "no we aren't" can you? lol!
My statement says that you are involved in a 2 sided war. One side you are attacking, the other side you are Nap'd/pacted with.
Yes, this makes you part of the coalition. In fact, it doesn't get any clearer than that. But, it could, because I've seen reports of koopas members attacking KOD members, as well as, TBD and Koopas members with timed attacks against World Trade Federation.
You ARE in the coalition.
Athan you are trying to hard.. Being a forum warrior has to come easier.. Get it right..
See it should flow off the tongue more. Let me show you.
You sit here pounding your chest but what you refuse to acknowledge is that KOD dug this hole for themsevles. Coalition is when a group comes together for a cause.. Not the other way around, which is what you have here.
Lets break it down. KOD was befriending many alliances around them while they solidified O54 and ate all the easy Argentum cities. Then food became scarce, and they were faced with 2 options. Either hit TBD which has been directly south of them ALL server, or pick on an easier target, one they called a "friend".
KOD went with the second option. Openly admitting to deciding to hit DV because JG was slaughtering them. They broke of relations with DV and IF (for the most part) and went about taking easy food, further solidifying their territory.
Then, in a "surprising" move, TBD took the fight to KOD, and used Jossys for a joint OP.. KOD couldnt let this go, and focused offensive attention on TBD.. this gave DV breathing room.. so now they are retaliating..
So this isnt a coalition.. this is a circumstance that has caused KOD to have multiple enemies. Just like there was no coalition for Legion.
Legion upset too many alliances in about the same time frame. When TBD went to war other alliances were as well. Dont call it a coordinated effort because each group has their own reason for wanting to hit you.
Thats why Koopas havent jumped in. No coalition..No major cause for war.. but keep taking cities in O64, like Argentum and Legion, and that can change.. Additionally.. KOD has never approached Koopas for diplo purposes.. So you are brown in all sense of the word. So if Koopa players attempt to take cities from KOD in an individual effort, it isnt a coalition.. its just wrong place wrong time for you guys.
Thus is my version of the origination of the beginning of the end of KOD. Thats how its done Athan 8)
