I think some one from other competitors advice you for DB Panda.
If you wanted to get good war against good kingdom you need to have fair start. Only when both KDs able to prepare and show his best you can gain respect dont matter if you win or loss. Right now you can get much attention in forum but not respect for your warring skills because beginning was unfair to Panda. Whit razes OOW you wont hold it for long and im not sure what you want to prove from keep war.
I have a lot experience in difficult situations but end is always same: all involved need to do deal. So key is to make offer when you can get best deal.
