Well no. we controlled the center of the map, I can completely understand their point of view. They were just trading. Chesty had a boner and was within his line of sight.
Their reasoning for war: (IMO) EXPANSION.
We looked like a good target for some fun fights and they tried to get another clan involved on their side just so they didn't have to stress over it, or by some chance FCC attacked them and they had to fend them off. Honestly, I don't blame them. This is internet clicking wars, and clearly they are doing a good job. They want to win and we were their easiest target against their borders. Do you blame them? I don't. Truly.
And for us "running" I can honestly tell you that this movement up NW was planned for a long time. We didn't think oh TKoV is coming we better run, because we're truly not like that, but think what you'd like, everyone is justified to their own opinions. I wish for the drama to end. I don't want this bullshit to carry over from Strat to cRPG, or to be excessively prolonged. For what I have said recently that may have offended anyone... I apologize. I also apologize on my fellow Remnants' behalf to what the have said, and may say. Some can be hotheads, same as some TKoV's.
For the future, to all of TKoV, do what you have to do. From me personally, I have no hard feelings. Good luck.
