if you've ever been a diplomat or a leader/some sort of organizer for a strategus faction, the amount of BS you have to put up with is unbelievable.
the diplomacy metagame is like a bunch of 12 year old socially incapable spergs trying to reenact their favorite scenes from Game of Thrones.
the best part is the battles but your clan just gets wiped out immediately by some scrub alliance if you don't waste a few minutes of your life every couple days small talking with other clan leaders/diplomats and working out deals for the sake of your players. or if European, your clan gets wiped out immediately if you forgot to join the UIF or have half the dev team in your clan, sorry EU community.
when some people are unusually awful at communicating with other people, it makes you not want to help them out in strat, or go out of your way to pick fights with them, since we usually don't start strat wars with people we like talking to and playing games with.
