You make it sound like you were engaged in a valiant battle against vast odds, fighting the good fight against two implacable opponents. However, I was there most days of this last campaign fighting like hell and I will tell you how those points were really scored. (and yes, I am a DC player)

Congratulations on your rewards, but please don't behave as if much of your tactics were anything other than a coldly calculated attempt to leverage the point-award system to make certain above all that we lost. We fought hard and did the best we could and I'm proud of everyone (including you EP and AD) who fought and died for the cause.

Sorry we played the game and didn't sit getting farmed at the mile gate all night. The game stay the game yo
This was my first TF campaign as something other than an occasional guest and I was impressed at how well EP coordinated together in zone chat and worked hard for a victory. No matter how many times EP got pushed back to 2 or 3 keeps, the faction stayed positive, rallied and pushed right back. Nor was it all work -- the zone chat "12 days" parody poking fun at a Christmas tree zerg of players wearing worm, ebon and sanctuary sets with prox dets up was a memorable event.
And I am now convinced that Saramis thinks Kingscrest is the one objective on the map worth 20 points.
And as for capping resources right before eval... well that's how you get points. That's be like complaining a football team keeps running running the ball to one end of the field instead of staying in the middle.

You do know that one of the largest Japanese Oceanic guilds (Wormhole) went from to DC to EP at the start of the last campaign. Much credit could be given to them for helping to balance out that timezone and helping to ensure EP's victory.

You sound a bit salty and a bit unaware of what times Oceanic players log on during the timezone. I could easily show you a map where EP has more population and organized guild about an hour or so before our guild logs on DC. This is usually how EP crowned Emp. I could also show you map where yellow has more pop and large zergs after half of our DC guild logs off. This time also happens to be around the time that Wormhole logs on as well.
The oceanic timezone doesn't begin at exactly the same time and end at the same time. There are periods of times where each faction has the upper hand in terms of population and organization. And all 3 factions engage in pvdooring. Be happy Wormhole went to EP. Their move was a big difference in helping EP win the campaign. Give them credit.
p.s. ahh...just realized who you are. yes, I'm guessing your salty.
