[/quote] [quote name='AirMe' date='30 January 2010 - 10:07 PM' timestamp='1264910825' post='2146498'] You are supporting your allies. That is what allies do. But planning ahead, if you declared on the least liked member of a bloc, the other block members outside treaty partners might be less reluctant to help. Thus, making the objective of the war easier to obtain. By declaring war on the whole bloc you lose that advantage and take on 7 times the amount of potential combatants because you declared direct war on 7 alliances at once.

I could declare on SF too, it doesn't matter. We are fighting for peace, if that makes any sense. Edited January 31, 2010 by Canik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, to answer your question, I would imagine because declaring on the bloc enables them to support their allies where ever it's needed. FEAR isn't in this war to single out a C&G alliance and try to do as much damage as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmutte693 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Honestly, AirMe, I don't think it is that complicated. Call it a show of solidarity, a declaration of support, the [color="#333333"][font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size="2"][color="#333333"][font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size="2"]blasé[/size][/font][/color][/size][/font][/color] attitude of someone prepared to be blown the hell up, or whatever else you like, there are occasions when saying "#$%& it" and charging into the fray can accomplish what cold logic can not. Moreover, what part of the fact that the vast majority of our nations declared on the maximum number of offensive targets tells you that we are entering this trying to minimize the damage taken? I would think that we have made it fairly obvious that we are simply trying to do as much damage as possible, spread out as it may be, while we have the warchests to do it. edit: forgot the accent over [color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]blasé[/size][/font][/color] Edited January 31, 2010 by schmutte693 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] As Pops said that with declaring on 7 alliance and others do it too we can be more effective if we are organized, because everyone can have suitable targets. We triggered MDP-s with half of Planet Bob? In one way or another everyone could attack us with using mutual and optional aggressive clauses (hi GOD!), but we won't stand alone in our fight. FEAR has only 3 mil NS, it doesn't make difference that who is our declaration target anyway and come on declaring on a whole bloc sounds fun. You cannot do it on every day Also sorry UPN for ODN. But still i bet that they don't mind a war with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
