By November of last year, it was fairly clear what was going to happen within 6 months, give or take. At the beginning, plans centered around a potential NPO attack on Gre. We committed ourselves to defending Gre and privately began preparing for any defensive only action. By the time the Hoo logs leaked, it became fairly clear that SF was a more likely target then Gre at that point. However, as before, we were committed to the defense of CnG and Citadel in case we were mistaken in who was being targeted. One thing that needs to be emphasized is the fact that defensive only plans were made and if no attack was made, then nothing would have happened. In fact, even up to the onset of the Karma war, the majority of us would have rather the diplomacy worked out though if it didn't, then we would react accordingly (as we did).
