So let me get this straight, if you were handed screenshots that implicated a member of an allied nation In a ploy against your alliance you wouldn't ask them about it or at least tell them about to find out what is going on? We posted what we were given and both sides discussed.
Knowing where we thought it came from we asked, lsf called it out as being fake it was pushed aside, we did acknowledge that lsf did do forum overhaul (so did we just in case) and by that time vote was passed and we left. No harm no foul.
LSF did not inform the UCR of the time that you were going to DoW or even if you were even going to carry it out.
Our vote ended and we left. And to my knowledge LSF could not enter into conflict unless all parties of DL had agreed on war, and LSF made no formal request to the UCR to begin vote until the UCR's vote to leave DL had passed.
Considering the heated atmosphere at the time we honestly believed you were going to be pissed off, considering all that had transpired did we think you might retaliate? Maybe, it was a possibility we had no way of knowing. We had hoped not and go about our merry way.
But all this talk about roosting is making me hungry. So I'll take my leave from this silly place.
