It is correct Valhalla was not our first choice, but it ended up being the best choice.

I approached DM a long time ago, and all I kept hearing was. "my people, my people, my people.." What if we get in a hosp war. ahhhhhhh, my people. It seemed a little over dramatci, but whatever, clearly those in charge at the time would have suffered a mental breakdown when it came to war time.

Then I noticed another gang, Valhalla. I had never heard fo them before and was suprised to see how high up they were. Even better was they were actually willing to have an intelligent conversation on merging.

Val had original conerns that I feel after merger we quickly squashed. Though they shared concernes, they didn't whine about it like DM did at the time.

Yes, we did hitch a ride, it was the smartest thing to do. I have paid my debts in gangs with tens of millions of AL money. I did not feel it necessary to do it all over again. I feel comfortable in the fact that we in pimpstars have made up for not being there in the beginning, and will continue to do so for a good while.

Still, I feel even though Valhalla has passed SV in gang war points, we are no match for individual warring with SV. SV has just way too many career points. DM is another case, before howlsong joined DM they would have NEVER had a chance taking Valhalla one on one. Now they have an UBER repairer, they will fair much better.

Originally hearing about the DM SV alliance, I was annoyed and thought it was an incredibly cowardly act. Thinking about it more, I changed what I thought about the situation. EVERY time a force rises that can compete with the #1 #2 people or gangs in AL, there is a self preservation move, normally requiring an alliance with another top tier gang. It was a good move, but still a disappointing one. I really looked forward to the days of 3 gangs warring each other and staying competitive. I still laugh at the the idea of the two merged though, just figures. Good move, but guess it's to be expected.
