NPO declared on OL and OOBL because they are pretty much the same guild, so our logic at declaring war was not to limit ourselves to one guild, and stop people from jumping back and forth to recouperate from attacks. EAA actually is starting to get close to this situation with us with SHLD actually.
And most of NPO went to A24 to sit in a blob, like all the other major guilds...

Only the people who are inactive, don't play the game well, or are hyper-aggressive didn't go to the A24 blob.
The one OL I fought actually jumped ship to III, and went into Vacation mode once we trapped his fleet. Really didn't expect that, but whatever. He then went and fought against IX/Borgdor.
OO did indeed do horribly IMO, because if we were in their position, we could have easily destroyed NPO in A27, 28, and 29. Ah, cowardice of 3 times our active fleets retreating from us in the A29 campaigns... But instead, they gave me the money for my 18th planet, a whole set of rings on all my planets (level 4s and 5s), and a level 11 JG.
