I would not call you an ahole but your logic is wrong.
I would have waved you until you begged for CF. I assume the bigger KD was getting ready for war or that would have been automatic.
EDIT
@Strato, begged is only a word.
From Excali, I shot them a message early said we are not going to war them, we have our own targets etc.
They say send cf etc, the usual stuff again... I decide to let our tm's have some fun and so do not send a cf straight away. some 10 hours later our steward sends a CF
lol 10 hours. I woulda hit you for 10 more hours. Meaning the Monarch.
Grief runs downhill in this game. Always has, always will.
