Yeah. Im certain he didnt see the tag any of the 10 times he hit lol. Were the other 2 topfeeds unintentional as well? Looks like SOTA been repeatedly baited into war but don't want to get hung out. A fair concern considering none of us want to war imp. That's too bad considering they made an old clan and brought some old members back to this server in an attempt to bring back some parity.
That said, they should at least take some retals and stop threatening to do so next time. Or at least work out a combination deal with Prime. Prime is not the most pleasant person to do FA with, but i doubt he would see any fun in pushing around the only fresh blood we've had here in a while. That plainly doesn't make sense. Both because the war would be a slaughter if they didn't call in allies, and a mess none of us want a part of for sets to come that would run players like me and ashe off the server if they did.
It seems to me that Prime would be willing to approach the idea of handling this diplomatically were it not to be on the forums. Though id be curious what he'd give in exchange for a 10 tap, because frankly 1:1 would hurt imp worse than l:l which is unusual but generally speaking us netters just want our land back.
In any case, the pool of land in ffa is too large for 20k acres to be something that doesn't get handled peacefully were imp indeed not wanting war with a small returning tag. Imo, it'd be nice to see imp do the right thing, and while i have my doubts, i don't really see sota providing them an opportunity.
Imp has about 15k avg land/country on SOTA and their avg nws are about equal. This implies there is a pile of low def netters with big land in imp. I would think they'd clearly want to settle out because they won't get a good war warring netters, they'll run off the top players if they do, and they won't win a landgrab exchange with you.
My 2 cents is imp should give sota another crack at contacting for FA before just giving up and being farmland.
