Ain't gonna fuck around with RP here.
Let's outline our choices with who we could fight:
Hospitaller, who were being rectally-ravaged and aren't likely to put up a fight
Occitan, who are already fighting a faction larger than themselves
Semenstorm, who care little for strat and are not likely to put up a pro-active fight
CHAOS, who are already at war with a faction larger than themselves
FIDLGB, who are already at war with a faction larger than themselves
Astralis, who seem to care little for strat and are not likely to put up a pro-active fight (although they would probably be the second-best choice to fight)
Velucan Empire, who are already engaged with Occitan (who are fighting extremely well, albeit outnumbered). I wished to fight VE initially, but they've given us no reason to. They are generally good sportsmen, and they have a competent opponent in Occitan.
And that's about it.
I've not seen you FCC folks mention the eviction of Cikel from one of your cities in a ploy to get a bunch of duped gear he was attempting to keep out of play. That was fucking dirty, and we haven't forgotten it. Yeah, you guys gave us Rindyar a long time ago, and I appreciate it. You've given us some gold and plenty of advice, and I also appreciate that. However, we've been more than cooperative for long enough; we have paid any debt that could be perceived.
Even without the above provocation, our goal was to engage in a conflict with an enemy that would be proactive on the strat map and difficult to beat in battles. You were the best choice to meet this goal.
