aponic: good point. i'm trying to give a more personal note and not from a LaF hFA standponit so bear with me here:
1) if you are netgaining and someone is harmful spy opping you, you wouldn't try to find out who did it to retal?
2) and i wouldn't be quick to judge anyone. i'm trying to see it from everyone's persective.
from the looks of it (and dragonlance pointed this out, not me), RD pacted every alliance this reset except for PDM and clearly built for war. they had a one way street to FS PDM. whether they should've pulled a SoF and prearranged this with PDM so other's cannot potentially interfere accidentally is another matter/debate.
but i'm assuming after RD switch all their republics to dictators and tyrannies, it was a one way street (because netgaining was fruitless). i'm almost going to guess that because LaF started to escalate tensions with PDM, RD might have been afraid that LaF was going to make their reset pointless. but i don't know i'm just speculating at that point =)
LaF had their problem with PDM this reset. and the escalation with PDM came from both sides. like i said i had them set as DNH after the grabs from LaF that made PDM mad in a hope for peace, but the spy ops and nukes from them came.
i can actually side with all 3 alliances (RD/LaF/PDM).
PDM's side is they didn't want to get bullied by LaF yet again from all these years of bad history and wanted to defend themselves.
LaF just wanted to netgain and retal any spy ops and nukes based on their policies but didn't want to initiate any more grabs on PDM because that would be detrimental to treehugging.
RD was planning from the start to war PDM and at a certain point there was no point to go back to netgaining when ur guys all have 50 missiles and switched to ditator and probably didn't want to break a uNAP to war someone else so had to jump b4 the LaF/PDM tensions broke out too much where there was nothing left for them to RD.
i can't see any alliance really at fault for what they are trying to do. it's unfortunate they all added up this way.
