I have been around on planet Steve for a very long time, but those planetwide tabula rasa phenomena are really getting the best of everyone's memory these days...(I told them that building a supercollider was not a good idea, but nooo we just had to have more uranium tipped missiles and make those gigantic rifts in the space time continuum) :P
Most of the next is at the guy saying something about traditional Steve warfare and building/raiding:
Maybe if you attack first, you won't have to watch Avengers take their time going to war. If you pick the time and place, you always have the edge, so why not do so before someone that clearly has the edge in building gets the chance? To the whole "this war is a downdeclare", Das all but told the planet that another alliance or two would be targetted two days ago. There should be no reason why anyone either wasn't prepared or didn't outright attack the Avengers in a preemptive strike. If something isn't fair to you, fix it. That is what JR did in round 8(give or take a round, and that war was fun, WOLF lost, but we enjoyed it).
Now get your club out (this is a good femur for those without trees) and either fight the Avengers (except for adamah, he is beating me in offensive casualties and I don't want him/her to pull ahead. :P ) or find someone that will (Unfortunately, TPC can't do everything, I feel bad for them at this point).
Alright, I talked on the owf and even replied to someone, can I get defensive wars now (If not, I blame Das and Kitty for dragging me off the battlefield to get more battlefields, maybe :P)? :D
