So, I'm glad this was shared on externals. I'm on VM this week (planned due to work), but have a few short minutes here and there to check in.

Koopa is easily the 3rd best Team in Baris. Yes, you have good players, and I won't take that from you, but top to bottom, not so much. The Top 20 players in this world not in Koopa would never go to Koopa. It hasn't been that way from the start of the world, so that comment can be argued, but not statistically.
@Oliver
I'm glad you brought this up. Oliver brought a little history into the relationship between the TBD and Koopa leaders. Sure, it didn't start like it was supposed to, but communication was the biggest fault of that. For Koopa to say that the only reason they broke the pact was to make Baris a fun world or they wanted a challenge is the biggest farce I've heard. Just say the truth. You wanted to win.
I personally don't care about the crown or even wonders, but I'm a team player. I'll contribute to the team if they want to win or bust wonders for someone else.
The one alliance in this world that gained the most out of the TBD "Coalition" was Koopa. They were, as so many people have stated in the past, completely untested and have done little in this world except be in the shadows of TBD. Once they were able to amass 20million points and a great strategic location, along w/ other alliances at war w/ TBD, it made perfect sense for them to end the pact.
It was a great strategy. Start one month late on the rim away from any natural enemy and ally with the largest core alliance so they don't stunt your growth. Once the rim is secure, end the pact and turn on them. I don't wish anyone ill will in the Koopa team, as I didn't know many of them personally. Where I do have a problem, is as stated, the leadership team were close friends, and if they would win at all costs against players they've known for years, what would they do to people they barely know? Take note Baris and future servers.
The upcoming months should be interesting and fun. I look forward to the challenge that Koopa has presented. I'm sure this will get a lot of comments, so if you're going to comment, bring the facts.
