The first part is actually favorable without a slip of paper. Because if an alliance jumps into a war without a treaty and it was already fair as it was, then they are free game to be countered by someone else unhappy. But usually treaty partners have another treaty waiting who defends the unfair sides. All I really want to see is TE encourage even wars rather than wars with a heavy advantage one way. Remember, the aggressor has an advantage to begin with, let alone the ones with more NS lately.
Don't say to please me though, I'm simply stating my opinion again that treaties are inhibiting gameplay. Just like others think alliances inhibit gameplay or trades do.
As for the last part, it was an observation, not a challenge or a reason for anyone to snap at me.
See, I'm a proponant of every round is a fresh start for people. I slip every so often like any human being does, but this is a fresh start for me to try and remain more civil despite my lacking of such last round.
