That's really ugly. It didn't feel good at all. I wanted to slap myself for even thinking it - so why is that a part of this game?

One of the things I most about the First community is how we celebrate our & others successes rather than failures. But in the end it is a competition. In games past did you ever hope that an alliance would lose because it would help your teams ranking? Not really different. Even the angst you feel when that happens is a good thing.
