I guess the term "honest mistake" isn't known around here.
Let me reiterate; I said nothing about official claims and I did say in my original post that my claims were based on the presumption that no-one else had claimed that land because at the time no-one had. I do not respect the viewpoint of "original claims" because not every clan has gone that way. At the same time I am not going to let some minor error be the catalyst for a war I had no intention of fighting. All this talk of "bigger clans" and "backing down" is just showboating and that is what I take offense to. You assume I need advice simply because I wasn't fully informed, even though that has been addressed. It does not matter if it's my clan, fallen, templols or any other, nobody is going to war in strat by mistake. Size has nothing to do with it. I will choose my enemies and my lands when I see fit.
Thank you all for your input but it was completely redundant.
