yea i went throu all that clown fiesta we did in this topic and i found 3 reasons you stated:
according to you winning side is the one who had total control over epics and castles, and the one whos kicking everyone from top spot.
so if during last fev months vigi lost fev epic they werent a winning side, they were actually weak side cuz they didnt have total control. thats why i call your argument about "joining a loosing side" bullshit, you never were "weaker" side to the point it matters, you could farm while being in WS noone harrased you to a point that for two weeks you were sitting in town being unable to exp, you high lvls were farming uninterrupted, you could farm somewhat efficient, all they you didnt get was epics, but your ally still overall had more epics than vigi wich they got from 8 months of total domination over epics.
all that i see in your "weaker side joiner" statement is boosting your ego.
