"So we agreed on terms and after a 24-hour(????) max gains marathon, we agreed to withdraw as soon after the minimum time as possible if they'd let us get back to where we started. At the end of the day, that's exactly where we ended up."
Dont that explains the fake war itself...? You agreed to have a 24h war of max gain and withdraw min time if they (debauchery) LET you get back your acres.. (Pretty sure min-time war is much longer than 24h..what happens to the leftover time?).. and debauchery doing the learn hits which seems to do in accordance to the 'agreement'...? that above somehow feels like a confession..
Dont think it is due to bias or at least not entirely. Seems logical decision, IF one is already deemed 'fake-war', well who knows if it is the same for previous wars. Rather than digging through 2months+ worth of ingame msg + actual war data to carefully decide each war of which is 'fake' which isn't, might as well be more thorough, No? Its more practical.
Clear statements indicating the rules of what can and cannot be done is pointless. People will just find loopholes in the statements and do something which may seem different but gets the same results.
Im pretty sure you can find if you try.. Seen various examples, such as some KD's Bank practically have 0 tpa with low draft rate? lol...theres even peeps with 20-50mil or even more out of war? But thats IF you want to try to op them and get their retals.. so yes, there are plenty of "foolish" KD around? :) Pretty sure you wont want the same thing happen during your eowcf dont you? if stealing gc is fine for you, does that means hitting into your KD during your eowcf is fine as well, yes?
