Bolaar, all the data I posted happened during the war. You posted two incidents that happened during the war, and Ive done my research, both were cross noblings. Your members had admittedly attacked CE during a NAP. Not a minor scuffle, openly attacking CE players during a NAP. CE players have not done that to XIG during this war.
We had rocky relations prior to this war, as our NAP came in a very quick hurry. However, since you posted about 20 examples from before the war started, if you wish I can probably find more than 100 examples of XIG nobling CE before the war. Atleast 5 times more than what we did, so your tribe would still be on the dishonorable end of the stick.
"I did not come here to argue over a couple villages here and there."
Then why are you arguing over a couple villages CE members took from XIG AFTER you dropped the NAP? If you didn't want to be open to attack each other in local skirmishes, maybe you shouldn't have dropped the NAP, ever think of that?
CE did not make the decision to drop the NAP, and CE never openly attacked a XIG member while under the NAP (in recent, war time history) XIG has however. You tell me who doesn't understand diplomacy?
"Do I want them to start? "
You sir, may not want them to start. And despite what it may seem like, I respect you. I feel you're a cogent, well-spoken individual. However, you just recently joined XIG. You may not want to start a war with us. But I know someone who does, and thats your very own Asterios. We have mails from him stating he wants to take over the entire South Forty Colony. He has admitted to breaking NAP agreements, and justifies it by claiming his some lone soldier, and even though he is in XIG - his attacks on CE do not mean XIG has attacked CE.
Bolaar - if you'd like I can offer a resolution to the CE diplomats. By that logic, Asterios can attack CE - and be held seperate from XIG. However, that would mean CE can attack Asterios at will, and that would not constitute an attack on XIG. It has to go both ways my friend.
