Also let the record show that we were only 7k bigger when we also exited war and started looking for War #4 vs Sparta. Its not inconceivable to think we can do a b2b with them if its not inconceivable to do a b2b with Emeriti.
The problem I see here is that even if Sparta didn't want to war...they could have retaliated while negotiating for the CF anyways. If they choose to just take the hits and send only ops, well its not exactly our fault that its one-sided hostile.
I think many KD leaderships who face these kinds of situations at high chart placements tend to freeze up and refuse to act to appease the aggressors...which is bad for the game as it happens when you run out of targets (either by all KDs at war around your size or too many CFs in place)
Coming from my non-leadership viewpoint atm...KDs should play with the meter more often even if its to no higher than unfriendly. It is the equivalent to guerilla tactics in real-life...where even minor losses can dis-incentivize further aggression
I think people even fail to realize if anyone (including us) expects a b2b war with Emeriti...we would need to get into a better position to do so. This is in direct correlation to not CFing them...as we dont want to play the game where we CF some KD and whore and play the dibs game where people then fight over who waves who first.
Unless some top 3-7 KD win a war or 2 and gets into our direct range, we always need to be ready in case Emeriti comes after us.
