We only hit those 9k monster avians, nothing else. They kept on retalling, which is fine - so we offered a CF. They responded with even more retals. They maxed the meter and turned down 2 ingame CFs. We did try doing the right thing, but we can't force them to accept the CF. I can understand the issue if we had refused to CF and just hit them non stop - but when they refuse the peace offer + retal enough to max the meter, then they kinda dug their own grave here.
