Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I remember prior to gmax being subbing he was very seriously going to ally with dak for an endgame win but you and ln didn't feel obligated to once he wasn't around
i really don't remember 100% but it makes little sense to me this way. winning solo was more effort since the WCs overlap. and dak wasn't exactly willing to win together himself.
