Yuri, what nippy is getting at is.
Nation A attacks Nation B. You declare on Nation A. That is an act of war (obviously)
Nation A attacks Nation B. You send money to Nation B. That is seen as an act of war too. This time though, you are in an alliance, which means that now your alliance's foreign affairs spokesmen are involved. Nemesis has rules, procedures etc. I suggest you read them, and establish their policy towards the kind of behaviour you are suggesting.

I hope to hell you got through to him with that. I feel like I'm playing frisbee with a quadraplegic up in here.

every nation is "open" to raiding, it depends on how attractive you make your nation to the raiders. if you decide to walk the world with big friends (join an alliance) a single raider is not likely to steal your stuff. if you walk into a dark alley, alone, flashing your Rolex and watching your iPad, you are more likely to get pummeled and lose your stuff.

is it your fault he attacked? no, the decision to attack was on the aggressor
could you have done more to make yourself less of a target? yes, you had several options. you chose not to use any of them.

if you don't want to get bitten by a shark, don't dress up as the bait. hell, keep out of the water they live in altogether (unaligned).

You win the thread.

At first, I was somewhat sympathetic to Yuri, but the way he keeps going on & on and doing his own thing while playing the whiny victim card, the more I want to attack him myself!
