I've used the following (and please tell me what else I can do):

1. Full learned wave into their fort (that got us a war!)
2. Offered to not land grab their T/Ms!
3. Offered the term: Most land in 48 hours wins! (that snagged a ghetto once)
4. After they backed out, we would continue waving them to make them angry and hopefully insight the originally agreed upon button pushing.
5. We would very patiently and nicely talk with their leaders to try and work something out.

You know what we never did and I liked a lot was a few ages back when Giraffes tried to war Spartans and Spartans didn't want it and Giraffes just kept hitting and hitting and hitting to force PKs while simultaneously starting a forum campaign to paint Spartans as the soft KD. And that they should war sooner rather than later because it'll just make it harder for them to win the war. And the utopian forum community backed zauper and whoever else was in that KD and put a lot of pressure on the Spartan leadership to push the button and declare. That was a brilliant move.
