We've asked Bishop and he confirmed that this VM is considered an abuse, therefore we decided against it and move on. At that time, when we offered to put two provinces in VM, we really thought its making things fair for the opponent.
As for the Pixel kingdom: we did 5-6 plunders, they retaled back for acres and full ops. We had no intention to go more than those plunders. After their acres hits, we retaled back to get the acres they took. Furthermore, the Pixel monarch started to cry - when he ordered a retal war, which was fine for us (and again, we had no intention to get more than those 5 plunders).
Retal war continued for about 6-7 more hits, FREE offered them CF since we had an agreed war with Astron/Bounce and PIXEL did a dirty move by launching several attacks and accepting the CF.
We've started the prepare our war vs the agreed kingdom on our island, when we have received a full wave and dragon from Blood Brothers, losing some 2.5-3k acres.
Since we desperately needed war, we accepted the challenge and that's it.
We will get our acres back from Pixel, we are pretty sure of that. They could have accepted the CF after our 5 plunders - they should have spend their 2-3m gold like everybody does. Instead of retaling for acres more and more and crying after that all over - Lame.
