First of all, from a technical point of view this war has nothing wrong in it. There was nothing outside the rules to get the war started and there is nothing inside the war to make it look anything else than it is.

Now:

1. if we had offense or not OOP is a kd strategy and a risk we took. I will not get into details people like Steel and other haters won't understand. I would like to point out however that we were sitting on very good tpa and had a lot of stocked resources to make use of the Prosperous stance. Each province had @ 1k elites in train and gc stocked + we made OOP @ 40-45k gc/tick with aggressive draft. 24 hours into the age we would all sit on @ 3-4 k elites (more offense than anyone else starting as undead or avian or whatever) and had 2.5 k def specs per province already trained, Enough not to get 2x. We assumed we would get waved first 12-14 hours of OOP and have at least 1 button to press for war. Is this against any rules? Doubt it.
2. ONLY reason I went to speak with David was cause I found out that the monarch of the kd we are in war with is Bart and I knew his problems with the admins. I told David if he feels anything is wrong to ASAP stop the war and put us back in Prosperous. As it was then proved Bart only did this cause he has a problem with the admins (his problems and not mine) and wants to carry on with his battle with them. Is Sleepy just the lucky (or unlucky - just time will tell) kd? yes it is.
3. The kd we war was not on our island when freezie started. It was some kd that appeared over the past 24 hours of the freezie. We were already on the setup we have and already had the plan outlined in mass messages I sent to the kd. Admins can see it, and probably saw it.
4. If for any reason a kd gets a button (or war offer - remember admins got this feature?) shouldn't take advantage of it cause it comes from an idiot that want to ruin the fun for everyone and has his own battle with the admins? However I'd like to point out at the time I had no idea it was Bart but thought it was some random dude that did threats on us last age to collect acres in further wars and ages. It even sounded like his weird messages so we assumed it was him.
5. If Bart was going berserk and just f**k us up for a couple of days and we would get out of declare range and had to razekill him and his entire kd everyone would be happy and no one would want admins to give us compensation for it, but if it turns out to be the other way around we have to be deleted, reset or sanctioned in the worse possible way. Let's speak about double standards and hate.
6. It is the admins job to make things like this not happen if they think it is on the edge of the rules and to ban from the game any idiot that tries to twist things around and trow it to their face and NOT players problems to do it. As I stated in the 5-th point, if this was going wrong for us(as it did when I last disbanded Sleepy cause we were getting hit by over 30 - 40 provinces OOP and had start of age destroyed) there was NO PROBLEM for everyone because "Coss has to burn in hell cause he rapes our a$$es and tells us we are trolls!"
7. NO ONE jumped so much around last age when several "fake wars" happened start of age and not only. There were maybe 3-4 people screaming around that the new bonuses for warring are dumb cause everyone will exploit it and arrange wars. Last age there were a lot of "friendly" wars, wars that would not happen otherwise and just 1 been sanctioned cause it was admitted by the two kds.

Overall, as I told David, I am not here to judge but to play the game. If they think my kd did something wrong and against the rules of the game and should be sanctioned in any way I expect to also get the reason for it, in public or private. If new-days kds get sanctioned cause they get trolled with a war offer and they NW drop 25-30k to take it then maybe admins should re-think the relations system. It is not us that made the rules and the system, we're just playing by the rules.
A little birdy told me you declined a war offer from someone else 1-2 ticks before you received button... Your reason being: we don't have offense, we're not ready. And then all of a sudden you _are_ ready? You took advantage; 9 of the provinces in the kingdom your received button from weren't even out of protection 6 hours after OOP. You _knew_ that this would be a farm/fake war. Oh, and you MASS explored all the humans in the tick you entered war. If it looks like a fish & smells like a fish....it's probably a fish...
