I told this to a few other people already on IRC yesterday: exploring a province up doesn't make a hostile less hostile.
I explored a bank during a hostile because I could. That was my choice, my risk. Nobody else has a right to call it less hostile because I take my chances.
If AMA decides to explore during hostile, that's their risk and it doesn't make a hostile less hostile.
What is the big deal between 48h and 72h notice if AMA is just going to scream dealbreakdealbreak everywhere?
Furthermore: I always thought between a hostile end and a notice/wave there is a gentlemen's period of ~12 hours. I'm aware this wasn't honored always in the past but it still feels wrong to make a move within that time frame. I remember vaguely one situation where we gave a notice to an Absalom kingdom and it turned into a bit of a hassle so we ended up postponing the notice by 12 hours.
Bottomline is though, if there was a "no notice into hostile agreement", that agreement was broken by noticing before Jerks went into war.
