Meh. Conglomerate Fleet 1 is complaining about Conglomerate Fleet 2 not coinciding into a complete conglomeration.
The racism accusation isn't correct, but the matter is not too far off. It's safe to say that there are several different "groups" of people in NFNA. These groups, though, are rarely restricted to a single fleet, nationality, or language. It's more about friends and attitudes and manner. But that's not really my main point, so I won't elaborate.
Why are there people of the accused fleets saying different things? If you lend players, you lend players. If you don't, you don't. I don't know why on one hand we have people denying that it ever happened whereas on the other hand we have the leaders saying things like "we only had 6 members of our fleet playing in our last HA" and "Thanks a lot for the help guys, that's a truly excellent video and excellent help you gave us too, I hope in the future we'll have more of these battles with our allied fleets." (translated from a comment on YouTube)
@ defendants in ARA: People aren't accusing you of having people join your fleet; they're accusing you of participating in a sort of partnership to maximize one particular fleet just for the time they do HA.
It's either morally viable or wrong. If it's okay, there's no problem. If it's wrong, how would it be troubling to just permanently recruit everyone who plays HA with you? Certainly it wouldn't be too much of a change if you can pull it off week after week. You guys would be exactly like Playmates- that is, a conglomerate fleet- if you did that. I doubt anybody (except maybe Lukas) would object.
I have 2 points for the "prosecution", though.
1. It's true that in the past, people have been swapped amongst different groups simply to play HA. This was back when there was no fleet penalty, and I was once on the verge of doing so myself. As I read this thread, I was planning on defending you on this issue, saying "times have changed", but really, they haven't much. It can't be wrong just because there's a rule to prevent it. Many of you played back in the time when it was common practice. At first, there wasn't a huge fuss over it, but eventually, people demanded the return of the fleet penalty. They do have a point here.
2. (rhetorical) Why should you be caring? If you really can beat them the whole time, no matter who they bring, isn't a larger opposition a better challenge? Unless they're beating you, what cause do you have to complain? Few people in this thread can claim to be any sort of moral authority.
