1. There is no over-arching motivation. These cases are all judged case-by-case.
2. Last age? You mean razing Pandas, who DBed us and won your age for you?
3. Him hitting back has nothing to do with anything, please read the full topic before responding.
4. Because the guy doesn't want to solve this diplomatically.
I have great respect for you Jdorje, one of the few in Uto really. But you're simply commenting based on sketchy evidence and taking the troll's words for fact. Utopia has long enough been plagued by 1-2 prov KDs who threaten their way to CFs with top-KDs then do nothing but press explore until EOA and throw their weight around to help their friends (the one top-KD that profits from them being big). I don't know what your motivations are here, perhaps these guys are your friends and you hoped for acres from them down the line. I do know that all these so-called "ghetto's" aren't ghetto at all, they're just running very few provinces.
Last age we've had to deal with too many KDs who'd for instance hit our banks or steal tons of gc, then tell us "either EOA CF or we raze into your next war or raze your banks". This age they're basically saying the same, only difference is that we don't give a **** and don't mind spending 4-5 days killing their provs rather than caving in to their BS.
But yea, now you made me very curious as to your truly motivation for coming here and posting even though you always claim you stay away from drama/forums, is there something more we should know?
