I didn't know if they would war or not.. kingdoms say one thing and do another all the time. Sending a Cf would show me they didn't want war. Without the cf I was under the impression a war was still possible. Until they jumped in war (with a bigger kingdom then us FYI) I thought war was around the corner. After they jumped in war I sent them cf because I didn't want to beat them up in war but they still didn't accept it, so we did what we had to do.
