jmeidema,

I do see a difference. A HUGE difference. Ascension got gold to prepare for a war, from what I have read that is frowned upon. They wanted to make themselves more "equal" to FS so it is a more challenging war and not just FS beating down a smaller kingdom like is their normal mode of operation. Obviously, you guys had not problem with giving them the opportunity to prep for a war against you because you knew you could still beat them. You have to admit that the reason you did not give TBB that same opportunity to prep for war against you is because you had doubt that you would be able to beat them. You needed that acre gap to win. Like you said, you are not the leader of your kingdom, so you do not make the decisions. Your Leader made the decision to wave a smaller TBB instead of negotiating a war on equal terms. I admire your confidence in your kingdom, but your Queen obviously does not share the same confidence that you have.

As stated, the big difference is TBB did not receive gold to prepare for a war like Ascension did. They received gold to recoup from a war they just lost. They had no plans of warring CR a second time, CR waved TBB. You all are upset that TBB took measures to recover from a war, and therefore made themselves equal to CR, but you are not upset that Ascension took measure to prepare for a war and make themselves equal to FS. That, my friend is a double standard.

Korp, I am not angry. I love this stuff. I usually just read the forums, but this past week has actually made the game more enjoyable for me. It's an election year in US, so uncovering the truths and exposing the lies is what I am living for. lol
