I have to ask, is all the !@#$%*ing that takes place on this forum just propaganda?
People can't be serious. Every war isn't going to be this perfectly set up, fair updeclare. Its almost impossible to do. There are different times between wars, unanticipated wars, planning, etc. The leadership for each alliance has to plan out a round without knowing what everyone else is going to do. If one particular alliance waited around for the perfect, fair war, they would end up sitting on their butts all round until they got attacked or got accused of . . . sitting on their butts.
I have been playing for multiple rounds and seen virtually every alliance get hit and hit someone else in a less than optimal time. I have also seen virtually every alliance just sit in build mode for extended periods of time. LE had a light round this round, but got murdered by war timing the last round. I have been on both sides of the coin and yeah, it really sucks when you get rougued or hit again shortly after a war, but over time it all evens out. TE is chaos. Just enjoy the bombing runs.
