  1. Though I agree that Equilibrium is a pretty stupid name and not what I would have chosen, that's what we're going to remember it as. These other choices are all trying too hard (and equally stupid).

    While you may deny the other side from getting what they want, you are also denying your side the ability to inflict actual damage

    But so what? I've never understood this here. In a war, one of the goals is to piss off your enemy. Caving in and giving your opponent what they want just because it will make them happier isn't a very good goal, though. If a side is obviously going to lose, I can totally understand why they might want to just give the ol' middle finger to the other side by denying them the war that they want.

  3. It's hilarious to me when people dismiss announcements as unimportant in the big scheme of things [when none of this here is]. As if any other announcement is super-duper important and somehow more worthy of your time. Because, you know, they're here to entertain YOU and not themselves.

    I've been on both sides of this and there are good people on both sides, and I'm glad to see a bit of the old "shake hands and make up."

    I don't think the point is that it's your responsibility. The point is: it is probably a good idea to let them know that you are protected so that they can move on to someone who isn't. It's less hassle for you and less hassle for raiders. This topic isn't really about whether raiding is legitimate as a practice, as far as I read it anyway. It's about how to make the practice less of a hassle for both raiders and protected accidental raid targets, just assuming [i]arguendo[/i] that raiding is simply going to happen regardless of the procedures anyone follows.

    Oh, I'm not against raiding. But I'm also not against raiders taking a chance that their raids might come back to bite them in the ass. And if I were a potential raid target, I would have no interest in making things less of a hassle for my attacker. ;)

    If someone in a protected alliance doesn't want bothered, yeah that's fine. They should put in their bio that they're protected. But I don't see why they should be obliged to do something like that or give up their "rights" from being a protected alliance/nation.

    As bad-ass as raiding in the first place, right? Hypocrite much?

    I don't see Spaar coming on here and bragging about nuking a goldfish.

    I mean, seems a bit silly doesn't it?

    That you guys have more nations and are the bigger side I think would lessen your need for having nations in peace mode, rather than require you to have more nations in peace mode than them. Being the bigger side I'm not sure why you guys have anyone in peace mode actually, usually its outnumbered side that needs to rely more on peace mode, not the bigger one.

    Did they go into Peace Mode because of the war against the Mongols?
