We came OOP on zero offense so of course it wasnt planned. To us, it looked like a ghetto trying to get easy acres by hitting and offering war to a kd with 0 offense all across the kd. Of course we trained some off OOP (elites) with stocked sols/gc and planned to train alot the coming 24h in prosperous stance and pump build.

We figured we would get hit OOP and explored land the hour before coming OOP to cover the land we expected to lose, hoping to get a few buttons to use once trained up. That some ghetto comes and hit our faeries together with another kd and offers war seemed like a better version of staying oow pumping and getting buttons (in this scenario we got a button/war right away, lose some land first day and take it back the next day then pump in eowcf instead of prosperous stance).

Unfortunately it turned out to be Bart possibly wanting to chartshape or just mess with the game/admins, which I was told by friends after the declaration. We then tried to get in contact with admins to get advice on what to do (holding hits while getting an answer) and Coss told David that he didnt mind getting the war nullified and the acres taken in the war retracted (which in total would mean we lose out as we lost the chance to robb inactives OOP with our 2-2.5 raw tpa and pump cheap elites). Once 8:6 started hitting us again upon their troops returning, we started hitting back as we arent planning on getting set back cause someone offers us a war.

Doubt anyone else would have acted differently.

The admins can also easily read the ingame messages between coss and the monarch of 8:6 (Bart?), plus there is witnesses in 8:6 that can attest to the fact we had no idea who it was and that this wasnt planned. It just turned bad as the story of 8:6 unfolded.

I know how it looks from the outside thou so I dont judge anyone for crying foul play. I would had cried fw too if I just looked at it from the outside having no inside information. Hopefully the issue is resolved by the admins soon as we dont want this to taint our age.
