Because they can.
Who would spend the time razing off the acres? Who would police the winners of an alliance war in the same age? This is what happens when you don't pick a side in wars then realise people you thought you had amicable relationships with are nothing more than cockroaches.
BB posts nothing about why they're giving away honour to ED, Pyro posts nothing about why they waved ED and FS leadership have ran away to hide so they don't get verbally molested anymore after the worst attempt at covering up asking for a double hostile.
Brief timeline of events (not going to claim this is 100% accurate as I'm not going to go through logs, so feel free to consider it biased/wrong):
- FS asks for CF extension from ED, it's declined.
- ED prep to wave FS, FS drop out of EoWCF early and explore/random grab then hit fort.
- Around this time BB try to 3rd party for FS, talks are around time to prep and I think Parth offers 2.5 days to FS to prep for war if they give ED button (seem to recall BB asking for 1 day but no button mention?) and ED asks for both KDs to not grow (yes ED is in a better position).
- FS refuse offers, ED starts to hit FS, FS refuse any of EDs offers saying they're stupid.
- Around this time coincides with Pyro players post that they are told to prep for waving KD, maybe irrelevant.
- ED and FS have more discussions, I don't know every single offer made but around 5% of honour and a learn wave has been mentioned but not acceptable (feel the need to point out that FS had just came out of a war where they farmed Emeriti, so a large amount of land/honour they gained was in a war where the other side wasn't fighting back at full strength/at all).
- FS claim CF offer means they're no longer hostile and ED could take it without any terms (meaning FS can jump ED whenever they want later in age) or they're open to all server for hits. This is 180 degree turn around in opinion compared to FS telling ED they'd OOW hit them if they tried to run from hostile (which FS claimed was a war) and directly opposite to posts made by FS allies saying hostiles are valid for as long as wanted.
- FS do no ops/hits for around 17 hours then Pyro waves ED, FS claims this isn't double hostile despite having 127 pts on meter and having pounded ED with ops for 3 days.
- 4 hours after Pyros last hit into ED and 8 hours after wave started FS makes attacks into ED, before that they'd been doing LL & continued with other ops:
July 21 of YR7 Faith and icecream (Pyro first hit) invaded PeaLicious (ED and captured 410 acres of land.
January 1 of YR8 Pursuing Ultimate Glory (Pyro last hit) invaded Pablo Picasso Paintball (ED) and captured 148 acres of land.
January 5 of YR8 Grumpy lusts for brains (FS) invaded Da Mystery Of Chessboxin (ED) and captured 143 acres of land.
January 5 of YR8 19,105 gold coins were stolen from our coffers! Shadowlight has revealed that Fingolfin (FS) was responsible for this attack.
- FS comes to forum to tell ED "of course we'll retal if you don't take CF", this is again 180 degrees change of stance where by FS had claimed they were "done with ED for the age" and wouldn't be engaging them again.
- Convo where BB justifies double hostile on ED to Pyro gets passed around, Pyro justifies their actions because of AWAR other KDs have been trying to "powerplay" the alliance KDs and Pyro aren't happy with this so feel they have to help FS. Nice of Pyro to totally ignore FS actions last age as holding any sway in this matter.
- Discussions happen and CF is worked out. Quite what level of bulls**t FS ran in their requests for help from alliance I doubt anyone will ever get to see those logs. Personally also dunno the talks between all parties with regards to working out the CF, just the terms include BB "refunding" ED the honour taken from them by Pyro.
