Cudos
Cudos (Writen by KeyStroke on the IPC webpage, added to Pawiki by Joa) (This article is writen by IPC view of things, thats why its alot about IPC)
Since blocks were so popular these days we didn't want to be any worse, however we wanted to create a block that was so far away from what a power block in the sense of blocks in PA was. So after talks with F-Crew our allies from last round, and OPA (Old pharters alliance) [CUDOS] was born. Now the funny thing was, suddenly people start expect more of cudos that what it really was. It was a community thing at best and as such a good one for a while. One rainy day IPC/F-Crews parted with OPA due to difference of opinions and OPA had changed command as well as attitude to the worse. We did talk a lot for a while regarding bring in another partner for cudos, but we never got around to do it until close to end of round. We approached LOST and Naviter for talks and eventually they became a part of cudos for round 7
With high hopes for round 7 joint galaxies were formed between F-Crew, Naviter, Lost and IPC/CV. The result was less than successful. IPC ended up have to replace members from the other alliances that failed to show up for their assigned galaxies and we ended up with quite some IPC heavy galaxies. Naviter more or less became a part of LOST. Maybe we in IPC wanted our way too much, but it became clear quite fast that IPC wanted to go in one direction and the others in another. We got accused of wanting to run things, although we just wanted to get organized about certain things, we already had introduced a own system to handle defence calls earlier that worked great, something we wanted the others in cudos to make use of as well. The tension in the joint cudos council got highly flammable, with several to blame; we had our own share of it as well. IPC and our recruitment alliance Credendo Vides parted from cudos. Our relationship with the other alliances that had been a part of cudos became strained mostly due to hate, anger or whatever on both sides. Towards the end of the round Credendo Vides where put to sleep, the active members where enrolled into IPC
