Every forest fire started from one spark
Fellow Ikarians,
The world is on the precipice of war. The policies and actions of this SDY can no longer be ignored. We can not continue to sit by idle while bullying of this magnitude are continued.
SDY has grown using tactics ranging from thoughtless spamming to downright hostile and predatory bullying. Their constant forum bumping of their alliance introduction was not enough. Instead, they resorted to flooding small alliances and unallied players with a barrage of pm's to attempt to get anyone to join their group.
When a group pointed that out, the world acknowledged and others came forward and agreed.
SDY responded by declaring war against IO.
Even though this war ended with little bloodshed, SDY left the war with a taste for attacking far smaller alliances as they then declared war against the tiny alliance of Sith.
This time, they couldn't hide their glee for bullying smaller groups.

In a way, we're helping VII with their defense.

Following the Sith war, SDY turned around looking for
another small alliance to crush and found one in KILL. Ranked 100+ at the time and outnumbered by over 100 players, Kill quickly faded.
SDY then turned it's eyes towards the group called TILL. A splinter group from SDY who sought their independence and were willing to fight for the territory that they put so much effort in to grow. SDY was informed that any SDY players on TILL territory would be met with force and ignored this. Instead, they dropped two cities intentionally as they wanted more "Fun" crushing small alliances.
As players have joined Focused Gaming, they still often complain about receiving multiple pm's from SDY to join their group, so it's clear that their tactics of spamming anyone and everyone available has not stopped. There is no doubt that a group that has declared war against alliances that they outnumber by 100 players or more is nothing short of despicable. These actions have burned through any goodwill that SDY had with Focused Gaming and with many in the Alpha World. We stand against their policies and ask the leaders of Ikariam to stand against them.
It's time to rise up and take a stand against bully alliances. Focused Gaming declares a state of war against SDY.
