We aren't teaming against you guys. The Adders say the same thing constantly.

The Immortal Flames really don't care about who we fight so long as we drive them into the ground. Whether that's the Tree Huggers or the Happy Maels is totally irrelevant.

All GC feel like they're being "teamed up" upon sooner or later because it DOES happen. It's just not that it's coordinated. If the Maelstrom is leading by 150 points and we're in third and the Adders are only ahead of us by 20 points, of course we're going to pile the Maelstrom. NOT doing so would just lengthen Mael's lead and practically award them first while the Flames and Adders go at each other's throats for second.

Same with second place instances. Second place is the worst place to be in because you have the GC in first holding you down so you don't overtake their lead, while the GC in last is hammering and clawing away at you so that they can achieve second place. THIS can lead to teaming, sure, but it always happens accidentally rather than the Flames going up to the Twin Adders and saying, "Pssst. You take Manors, we'll hold temple and their OP, provided you don't attack us." That never happens.
