So why is that Emiriti scared of losing Bour(before the razes to BB? Was there an agreement between Bour and Emiriti that Bour's province and KD will grow then they will have a FW so that Emiriti will gain much land?

If you read the logs and can't find anyone aginst the razes then you need to read them again. Also you will find that no one tells Bour what to do. He is not on remote control, he makes his own choises. Emeriti offered advise, some admittedly bad while some were alot better.
There were no deal in place between Emeriti and Bour other than that we had a cf. Emeriti was critical towards bour growing so big, putting him in a position were he could be attacked by BB for very important acres. Acres that Emeriti could not take themselves due to our cf with bour
I see Zauper objecting and someone thinking "yea thats probs bad, lets not"
Again yes Bour was TOLD to raze, "If they dont reply within 3 hours, start razing" I dont get how you can leave that out and completely ignore the fact... As for compensation, STOP mentioning it...The damage was done and they had NO intentions of letting you get away with it. The compensation might have been fair had BB not wanted revenge, but they wanted revenge so the compensation is of little value no matter what was offered.
Mithras, you might think you offered BB enough to put them in a better position, but don't state it like it's a fact. For the sake of this damn argument again, let's just temporarily assume that there needs to be no punitive measure taken against Emeriti for suggesting Bour raze, and say that the goal is to put BB right in a tangible sense:
It's pretty hard to quantify the impact of having to train and convert early in eowcf. The impact is even bigger considering it was on the biggest provs! Science, gold, wizards, and so on... you all (in Emeriti) have consistently seemed so confident and sure that whatever you offered would put BB in a better position than they were before. How can you know this so certainly? And how is it your call to make? I know you're aware that when you're going to war, prep time is the most important factor. What good is that land if their WPA is inadequate because they lost 36 hours at 60% guilds? Furthermore, you pretend like giving them more time is a good thing, but what you're also doing by giving them more time is giving YOURSELF time to pump science as sages. Be real and tell me Mithras who gets the better of a longer CF, the cleric kingdom with like 2k extra acres or the sage kd?
You guys really do need to go read Kuhan's thread again. The time to spin this a clever way has passed - ASF did all he could in that regard. Now, every time you come back here arguing the same stuff over and over again, it just sounds like you think that what you did was acceptable. Any empathy for you guys just goes out the window when I read "BUT WE OFFERED THEM 3X LAND!" for the 99th time. To say that BB wasn't at a disadvantage after the razes just makes you sound either braindead or disingenuous.
Stop that bull**** ... seriously stop it.
They were against EMERITI hitting into eowcf, they were NOT against Bours hits.
NOBODY said a SINGLE WORD against Bours hits. Cerberus stated he is unsure about it and jdorje reassured him and Cerberus agreed with him 1 minute later and gears were put in motion.
Just face the fact we are able to read, stop acting like we are all brainded slugs and you can state anything enough time and it will become true eventually.
I can be so certain because I'm aware of BBs skill level wich is very high. The acres they were offered put to use by skillful players would be more than enough to win the war, not to mention the other things that BB could have asked for.
You say that the time to spin this clevery is over and I could not agree more. This thing has spun so far out of proportion that no one even notice that the pure and simple base reason for this GB never existed. So it's time to stop spinning stories, read the logs and wake the f*ck up.
Nothing of that is bull****. You are just either to lazy to read the logs or you are so stuck in your mindset that Emeriti is so evil that you can't imagine something else. Look at the facts. Take them in. Make yourself an informed opinion and you will literaly feel how good it feels to not be fooled by this spun out conspiracy theory.
If you don't want to see it I can't help you. But I'll copy the passages

I don't love waving into eow?

jdorje 6:17 PM
