I find that sentence quite ironic when being used to complain about how the EWPP signatories ruined Imag's fun. Did your leaders care about what was "right" when they decided to attempt to tag kill an alliance which had *never* hit IMAG in its history?
Or did Imag's superior numbers (might) make your victimization of two peaceful players "right"?
Anyway, to finish that quoted sentence out....

Those two had no problems with the war? I don't remember being asked whether I'd mind if our members were abused in order to provide Imag's leaders with an easy win and Imag's members with some "fun". Its also pretty funny that this is what you call a "war". DANGER was tag-killed in the FS, with the exception of my country, which hadn't left protection. What a war. What fun.
This was the second time in our history that we'd been attacked by an alliance 3X our size "just for fun". Maybe Imag's current leaders weren't paying attention (or weren't around?) the last time it happened. We were angry enough about it to go incognito, play in the offender's tag the next reset, just to make sure that they suffered some consequence for using us as a plaything. All three of the members of the committee of one knew that there was the potential that we'd be assaulted for resets to come after making such a move. We figured (correctly) that it would severely damage our relationships with some who had previously considered us friends. We decided that it was worth it in order to make the statement that we will never accept being attacked without cause.
Please don't try to play this assault on us off as something which both parties wanted and considered fun. It was far from it.

So DANGER who quite clearly REJECTED signing the EWPP comes out and tells you, the EWPP Overlords, that it would be quite nice "if there were repercussions"? Why does that seem hypocritical to me?
Well if that isn't the hypocrite calling the hypocrite the hypocrite.....
Does imag need to justify squashing an alliance which had no chance against them? And if not, then why do the signatories of the EWPP owe imag any explanation. This is what I really find funniest about all the whining and crying here... You're complaining that there's no excuse, or justification, or whatever for Imag getting rolled.... the same Imag had just days before rolled THE MIGHTY CLAN [DANGER]! for absolutely no reason whatsoever.. At least the EWPP signatories have the pact they signed to fall back on. Imag has no excuse. So yes, I do find it satisfying - and with a delicious amount of irony - that the EWPP pact was used against those who decided to assault my friends. If that makes me a hypocrite, then so be it.
We never officially rejected the EWPP, as we were barely even aware of it. Bill and I were both on a hunting trip from the 1st of October through the 10th. As far as I recall, we weren't asked to sign the EWPP. If anyone tried to PM me about it, it would not have gotten through, as my forum inbox is STILL broken (ever since the switch to the new forums). But regardless, we didn't "clearly reject" anything. Joe made what was intended to be an amusing post. Anybody with any sense can see that.
I personally think the EWPP is a flawed solution to a very real problem. Look at what has happened to the number of players since the never-ending grudge wars really started to involve everybody. I think a better solution should be found, but until then this is a good start, to stem the fatal blood loss this game was (or maybe is still?) suffering.
