After a year of playing crpg and lurking these forums (a year ago I was still struggling to get my first legitimate kill), I have come to the conclusion that the diplomacy forum is the source of all evil in crpg. I think it's funny to read, but some people take it (and strat) to a whole new level. Lets all just be a bunch of nerds running around and having fun in a game (that is the point after all right?).
Nonsense, everyone should take things far too seriously and rage-quit and disband their clan for not taking strategus seriously and for being filthy casuals.
Additionally, I highly recommend that if you dislike one particular member or perhaps a couple of them like a clan leader and his helpers then you should forge real-life grudges against the entire clan as well as all past, present, and future members. Stereotyping and generalizing just makes life simpler, embrace it, don't let the petty details like "facts" or "logical arguments" or random baddies from their clan acting "nice" distract you from your rightful fury! I find lumping their associates with them also helps.
Remember folks, if someone messes with you on Strategus then they hate you in real life too! Get back at them by carrying a grudge for four strats (or more) in a row, continue hating a clan even if it changes leadership or a year+ passes since the last incident, and grief those suckers on the general servers!
Don't forget to then talk a lot about how you hate world leaders being so petty/corrupt/stupid
