laf leadership wanted to renew our unap with sol and refused to break that when sof asked us to two sets prior. it's all good maki, but be certain that no laf leadership has made any sort of comments. as you know, me and tob have reach out in peace for some time.
Did I miss something vic? I've been back leading since this set. haven't played for 1,5 yeears.
I'm assuming so maki :)
We can hash out the communication details over private and we'll send you a log of all diplomatic communication from laf to sol over last three sets - nothing has wavered in that for 2 sets we have had a standing offer for any sort of pact on the table and reached out extensively to request the unap's renewal or upgrade from 3 sets ago.
Politically we had absolutely no problem with sol. We didn't mention sof's request to break the laf and sol unap of 3 sets ago to sol, because we felt it would just be gossipy and serve no long term purpose on the server. So that could be the first you are hearing of sof's request 3 sets back, but RLMenga and at least one other official sol head had multiples lines of request from myself and tobs (and maybe even gains but I think just me and tob) for continued relations and you should certainly have been well briefed on that.
3 sets back laf was deep in a netting set and lots of members put in lots of serious time to netting countries - only to be cowardly drawn into war by elders after Topfeeds and RoRs and non serious responses from elders' heads. Elders thought that even though they had already been at war, laf would be easily beaten apparently based on some assessment of us from planned war we didn't care to be in some sets before.
So we let all of our precious t10s go and tag killed them all while reaching out to stop the madness. They flamed and flamed on AT but never gave any legitimate head to head response in private.
We never posted on AT but sof went totally radio silent on us at pact renewal time - (we assumed something to do with us actually honoring our sol unap the set before - something to us that's essential for gameplay as somewhat mature adults, although warrior later said that he simply wanted to fight laf since en4 era ...so dunnno...) and then they tagged with elders while both refused any FR or head contact from laf.
They joined to hit us, refused communication - think your oldest ally drops you, joins your enemy, and refuses communication. You better believe we were throwing the first punch the next set. (Funny though that again we heard whining when ... after all ... we aren't even a war crew and we are just responding to the situation being forced on us) so our attack was simply a preemptive response to an openly hostile war team coming for us and us only and refusing communication, one part of the team being an open enemy and the other part being old allies recently turned on us ... maybe even worse!.
All the while sol respectfully declined our request (which had been made before any incidents with elders for what it's worth) for increased or renewed relations with sol ... so we were obviously disappointed in sol's not granting it but we certainly appreciated the mature response.
Laf doesn't hold any long grudges but we don't want to be topfed deep in netting sets when we haven't touched another tagged alliance and when we retal those topfeeds we certainly won't accept RoRs. It's childish it takes no time or talent and it wreaks someone's hard work over 45+ days with one click of a button. Pretty lame so we'll fight over it once ... maybe twice ... but after a while it gets boring and you WAR crew should look for other war crews in search of battles. We are open for peace with elders and or sol any point after this war
So we remain disappointed elders didn't come for us alone but have no problems with sol at all as all communication trails confirm :)
