Well, we share the same attitude towards alerts, especially biolabs and planet-wide ones. If we happen to have a series of good fights which are coincidentally leading towards an alert objective, we'll play along, but that's it. Too many alerts, and the global ones favour the fourth faction. It just so happens that atm the fourth faction is hidden among the TR. That is also the reason that we usually end up fighting TR, and I think that is also true for most of the other VS outfits.

By the way, the alerts and now the looser continental conquest and loss criteria really hurt the Miller metagame IMHO. We'd set our goals in the long term, and every seperate session felt as part of a grander campaign.
