Paradigm Shift - Differences
Unforgivens have been a group of leagues united for a very long time (I'm not sure for how long, but as long as I can remember)
UC have been a group of leagues united for a very long time (since the beginning of the KT vs Coralition war, however long ago that was)
Let's take a look at a couple fundamental differences between the UC and EMPERORS.
------------
Difference #1:
Unforgivens agreed to a beacon NaP with the UC in order for us to re-build trust after they took our beacons during the KT war and we took them back after the KT war. Both the UC and Unf leagues felt hurt from the actions around beacons, but we decided we wanted to build a peace, so we started with the first step of the beacon NaP.
During the start of the NaP meeting, emps lead discussions with lies, which they were qiuckly called out on - everyone in the room (all the UC and all the Unf legues) can remember how akward things were at that point. We all agreed it wasn't a great way to start building peace... Then a few hours after the meeting ended and the NaP was set-up, Shin went around and broke the deal that his marshal made, he was confronted about it and we were told it would stop. Then Shin decided to break it again the very next day. At that point, Destiny said the NaP was dumb, Unf leagues have started with lies and continued to break it non-stop since inception, so we're out.
At that point, with our billion offense hammer, we could of run around and hit all the Unf leagues out of their beacons but instead held true to the intent of the NaP (even though we were technically out of it but all of our allies still were), and continued to communicate and attempt to re-build trust for the benefit of all the leagues involved, instead of doing what we wanted (which was to retaliate against Shin's attacks on us).
UE's response instead of correcting their mistakes and making the appropriate changes, they decided to leave the NaP, drop all their beacons (some of them going to the other Unf leagues, some to our other friends on the server) and then changed their name (so they could make some outlandish claim that they suddenly weren't tied to the Unf leagues anymore??) and started hitting all of the UC beacons after they had just spent a bunch of money and purchasing an 800 mil hammer.
For weeks I talked with both Venom and Warhawk and asked if they were wiling to distance themselves from the Emps and they flat out refused - they claimed they didn't like what was going on, but they refused to drop diplo or take steps to distance themselves and instead chose to back their players that agreed publicly that emps were still accomplishing feats on behalf of the Unforgivens even though Emps had changed their name.
After many direct warnings to Unf (venom & warhawk in particular) to distance themselves from Emps (since they claimed they weren't an Unf league), Destiny then dropped the NaP and started attacking the fellow Unforgiven alliance members in retaliation for (unf) Emps dropping the NaP and attacking all of Destiny's allies.
We would of gladly hit Emps beacons instead had they been brave enough to hold any, instead they are now branded as COWARDS who left all of their allies out there alone to take on retaliation for their actions.

Difference #2
When the COWARDS coined up an 800 mil hammer, they ran to the forums and wrote a manifesto that is based (at least for the small portion I bothered to read) nearly completely on lies and un-truths as have been proven both by the most basic of logic and many screenshots of Shins direct lies and contradictions to what he claimed to be the truth.
When the UC built up it's hammer to the 800 mil mark, we didn't run to the forums and write some manifesto about how we're the best and how everyone else had wronged us. We simply continued to play the game.
(Take note: Shins lies didn't come out until he started making his grandios statements about how great the emps were and all victim mentality statements that he drafted on the forums. That is when the overwhelming responses proving all the lies that Shin has been telling for such a long time came to light.)
-----------
Difference #3
COWARDS ran to the forums and have attempted to control the entire beacon map now that they have coined up a 1.5 billion hammer, and started stating that they had they now were going to decide who was "deserving" to have a beacon, and who isn't. They made a very black and white criteria of 50 mil being the determining factor, yet they immediately contradict themselves by only attacking certain leagues on certain beacons (some higher than 50 mil btw), and leaving leagues alone that have allied status with them and have subsequently deemed them "deserving" even though they do not meet this 50 mil requirement which was claimed to be a determining factor.
UC played it's own game and fought for the beacons we wanted instead of making grand statements stating that we have the power to decide who was allowed to have beacons and who wasn't. We also didn't go around the beacon map and start wiping leagues off beacons just because we could, but rather because we wanted to grow our own territory and we were willing to fight for it.
COWARDS have now started a cold war play style where they will wipe off any league that they deem to not be "deserving" of beacons, even though they don't want the beacons, their allies don't want the beacons, they purely want to control the beacon map while at the same time writing posts on the forums stating that they "don't care anymore" about beacons. Since the Unf leagues have started this cold war type play style by attacking us, we have attacked them back in the same manner.
-------
I'll be very direct and clear:
The UC does not control the beacon map, we will not make grandios claims to control the beacon map and ask leagues to come to our TS and grovel at our feet and make them tell us that they have 50 mil def and are now "deserving" and ask our permission to have beacons.
The UC alliance was willing to stand up to the biggest coiner in the game at the time (Roane) and his 200 million offense and fought honerably till the end and slowly made our comeback after Roanes spending stopped.
The UC is once again willing to stand up to what is by far the biggest coiners the game has ever seen that had an 800 mil hammer last week before the 75% event and is now a 1.5 billion hammer after the 75% event.
(Nothing like 700 mil overnight growth like Emps are able to buy)
Is anyone else brave enough to put their troops on the line to fight back against such epic coining? We are. And we're still waiting...
--------
I'm willing to keep things going on the forums if the COWARDS are going to continue with what they started, I'm also willing to instead take the fight to beacons if they are willing to do that.
Hope to see you on the battlefield someday,
