I have to spend 10x as much time to fill a roster as your "alliance", going to all the teamspeaks asking desperately for people to sign up. While all your guys just hire late and easily fill roster with top quality mercs - so yes it is a short roster that takes far more effort to even get all 51 slots full often with low levels and high pings. All you have to do is get your alliance to sign up and you have a comp[letely full roster - i have to steam or pm many of the independet mercs to be able to get the same roster full - so yes, you have it easy with your grand alliance of NA UIF.
That does not explain why you can hire so many of your own faction members on a regular basis where only one of the factions you're at war with (not counting Chevaliers/Occitan, who are not actively aggressive against you and who seem to have the smallest window of availability) are capable of hiring on a similar number just from their own ranks, and even then with less apparent regularity. You call a bunch of unrelated clans who're all separately at war with you an alliance, but your faction has absorbed at least two other clans that gave up owning their holdings under a unique name - if you say you have to go to other teamspeaks to contact
them, at least they have the benefit of seeing the faction
they are part of on the battles list.
Don't act like you're doing more ten times more work just because you have the gall to belittle people in their own teamspeak channels for signing up against after you've already tried to get them to merc for your side. You have a larger group of players, and the one group even larger than yours has already stated
they're signing up on your behalf more often than not. Two of the largest merc pools on NA are with you. We're trying to fill the same number of slots using far more disparate groups of people coming from less consolidated places. The notion that you alone have to rely on independent mercs is ridiculous. You are not working harder to acquire mercenaries.
Furthermore, my clan and the only clan we're
actually allied to*, FIDLGB, have only been able manage a "completely full roster" one time in the last month with people who showed up, and most often we're not even lucky enough to get a name into every slot, let alone have them show. This "grand alliance" theory of yours does not hold water because there is no grand alliance.
lets not go wrecking this thread with unnecessary NA drama

It wouldn't be such a problem if he didn't try to pick fights with people and lie so often.
As for the EU battle: I hope that you guys can get as full a roster as you can manage, I hope that your enemies can get the same, and I will try to get people to sign up for the fight
if you need some players who in all likelihood won't remain in the fight to see the end.
