It seems that alot of people are not understanding some basic facts of this war, so let us get a thread going. I will update it with submissions / posts as well.

[list]
[*]Lennox started this war pretty much for the lulz
(Or in response to a thread. [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=97316"]Click[/url])
[*]VE did NOT try diplomacy but instead posted a DoW
[url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=97369&view=findpost&p=2586348"]Click[/url]
[*]Dajobo DID say to go ahead
[*]RoK DID warn their treaty partners 24 hours in advance that they were going to defend Polar.

[*]RnR and GOD did not warn RoK about their decisions.

[*]I think it is safe to establish that VE started an aggressive war against Polaris, hence the VE DoW
[*]RoK has an MAoDP with Polaris, and Polaris having been attacked, RoK activated the DEFENSE clause of their treaty. Not just because they hate VE or anything, but simply because they were honoring a treaty
[*]More basics facts to come

Why do people always try and post "objective" lists like this and immediately add a bucketload of spin? Just give it up already and go home.

Please indicate me to some spin.

Could you give me a source for this objective fact please.

edit: Actually that question is rather irrelevant since they haven't attacked any RoK treaty partners. So I'll change it to, Why would they?

Spying isn't a aggressive action anymore?


Lennox intentions when confronting Dajobo about wanting to spy doesn't change Dajobos actions here. Dajobo clearly condoned spying against VE and Lennox wanting to start a war doesn't change that.

Action =/= war. Isnt saying bad things about another alliance an aggressive action as well? Yes, Dajobo condoned the spying, but if VE pursued diplomacy by either expelling Dajobo and ZI'ing him or some other, then this war could have been avoided entirely. Or even better, if they went to a third party to work things out, then this could have been avoided.

As for the first fact, Lennox clearly states that he orchestrated this in response to the stagnation thread.

And quoting from Lennox himself, he has thrown Dajobo under the bus.

What part of "we want a war it's been nearly a full !@#$@#$ year since the last one this game is getting boring as !@#$" do you not understand? I'm sorry that you guys were dumb enough to light the powder keg, truly I am. But we're all in this to have fun and sitting around talking at each other until the game ends is not fun. Mindlessly whining DIPLOMACY DIPLOMACY DIPLOMACY seriously makes you part of the problem.

That's a link to your favorite smiley. Very cute but not really sufficient source. Furthermore I'd like to know why they would inform RoK about attacking a non-treaty partner of theirs.

Agressive actions mean you initiate a war. Be it spying, launching attacks or anything else that's a hostile action.

I can't say I care what you feel about Lennox. This doesn't exonerate Dajobo in any way.

So you admit then that this whole war is pointless. Yes we all wanted a war, but the point I am trying to make here is that the CB for this war is stupid.

Trying to blather on about whether or not VE attempted diplomacy has little to nothing to do with the validity of the CB - you're greasily trying to grab some of that moral high ground for yourself.

The CB for this war is solid. I'm sure that this could have been solved diplomatically but that doesn't mean that VE is in any way obligated to pursue that option.

Ah, so you admit that there was no intent to remain objective in your OP, thereby making this entire thread pointless. Feel free to argue your points in one of the many already existing threads...you're not important enough for your own thread.

I would "condone" spying against lots of alliances, that doesn't mean I'm responsible for it happening.

Condoning spying, albeit a slimy thing to do, is not the same as orchestrating spying. Dajobo participated in target selection and strove for the results. His involvement was clear and the evidence is damning.

It's clear that Lennox 'spy mission' had nothing to do with providing any sort of useful information to Polaris. Quite the opposite, his goal from the beginning was to screw Polaris. Whether VE was informed before or after he started, they've endorsed his actions by accepting him as a member while using his gag in exactly the way he intended it to be used. The clear conclusion from the publically available facts is that it is VE which is guilty of spying - specifically of involvment in Lennox' covert operation, one that aimed directly to destroy the security of Polaris.
