Maybe if you had attacked the Coalition you would have generated more PvP, they might have responded which would have freed the Allaince to send pilots to both fronts.
That's not correct. You had the player numbers to fight both.. At the expense of sacrificing Gorn space, you have driven DEEP into Coalition space. Had you used any kind of strategic intelligent planning, You'd still be in the lead despite having to divide your forces on both fronts.
It comes down to player numbers and it was logical that whosoever controlled Organia would have them. That triggered the R/P element yet it backfired because your commander decided to throw the game.
<wipes away tears of laughter>
Ahhh, Dizzy, you slay me.
"...the player numbers to fight both..." That's hilarious. A knee-slapper, even. Utter crap, of course, but humorous nonetheless.
"...DEEP into Coalition space..." Riiiiiiiight. We've captured one Coalition planet, and have been fighting bitterly over another. What we have been able to capture might have been due to some intelligent strategic planning...<Bugs Bunny voice>...mmmmmmm...it's a possibility...
"...You'd still be in the lead..." In the lead? Gosh, I seem to remember that after Round 1 the Alliance was in last place. While revisionist history can always be fun to contemplate, the downside is that it's easy to call it what it is. Oh, and on a related subject, I find it interesting that you never bothered to publish the Round 2 VP count. What's the matter, did the Coalition fall to last place and you're afraid the Coalition will lose pilots?
"...It comes down to player numbers and it was logical that whosoever controlled Organia would have them..." Nice try, but the reason we took Organia was due to the supreme efforts of Deadman6 and our small overnight crew. Planning to hit a target at the time of day when you know you'll have more numbers than the enemy could be construed as strategic planning...naah, maybe not... 
"...That triggered the R/P element yet it backfired because your commander decided to throw the game..." Ahhh, yes, the "R/P element". Gee, if you had any real concern about that, you would have made it a caveat that the ISC would not be allowed to have a non-aggression treaty with either the Alliance or the Coalition, since the main R/P element of the entire campaign was the ISC trying to pacifiy both the Alliance and Coalition, keeping us apart and from fighting. I would suggest 'consistancy' be your watch word from now on, brother.
Oh, and as to myself deciding to "throw the game", I could try to explain how and why the Alliance HC as a group came to the decision we did on how to play out the rest of the campaign, but I'm afraid it would probably be lost on you, not to mention you wouldn't give a frak anyway. Instead, I'll just return the insult and say the following from the bottom of my heart...
Screw you.
Right on Wanderer tell it like it is my friend.
Ok, Bach, you and Wanderer need to STFU. I'm tired of your partisan misinformed BS. That's enough.
No one knows to what lengths and efforts I strove to insure this ISC blow out wouldnt happen. I saw it coming 2 days before round 2 VC's and talked to DH about it. I talked to Krueg. I went back and forth between the two. And apparently, you dont know about any of it, Wanderer, cuz DH must not have told you. But on Friday eve., after I had the workings of a cease fire all set to stop the ISC just b4 the VC's were to be recorded, I got a PM that also told me to screw me and the temporary treaty to save your Gorn territory. In essence, the message to me was, "We dont care if the ISC win as longt as you lose."
So yeah. The game was thrown. You cant possibly say it wasn't, for you'd be a fool to think it given the current server status. Like Chuut said, we couldnt do diddly against the ISC cause you were driving on our Homeworlds. You are now 1 hex away from one. So you are so full of sh*t it isnt funny, dude! All you had to do was temporarily pull off the our front lines for a day and you coulda stopped the ISC from a run away victory. Instead, you settled for second place and a bunch of our VP hexes which will fall far short of coming close to matching what the ISC took from you.
Only thing I must've got wrong was not talking to you about it before it all happened. Maybe something could have been done. But you cant sit there and tell me that you couldnt pull off our front lines for a night to push back the ISC. You (the Alliance) threw the game pleain and simple.
And I suggest we all stop taking it all too seriously. If you step back from the game a little bit, we should all be a bit more respectful of one another and greatful for what we DO have.

P.S. There are lessons learned in every server. It isnt that big of a deal this server was a complete disaster concerning the 3-way, cuz I doubt there will ever be another and who could have forseen what this one would degenerate into? Instead of bitching, accept it for what it is and go with the flow. There are a lot of good things that will come of SGO4 and not one good thing will come from insults or flames. So chill out please and look to the positive side.
