Either way, it's easy to take an extension deal when your kingdom is in much worse prep position. In that situation BB wanted an extension to prepare and Binar also decided to take one since he had the bbq even though he knew taking the extension would cost him the crown. It's quite different than here where the kingdom in good prep position that wanted to war was repeatedly asked to take a land for cf deal by BB.
