"obviously going to FS you"

Is this the same as..

"we'll just pretend they were going to FS us so we don't look bad"

well in some cases the past couple sets, the other alliance actually doesn't have full turns stored and full techs yet.

Obviously going to FS you, huh?

Autocorrect, your logic is retarded.

regardless if they were going to FS you or not, you make the first attack therefor your the agressor.


If you got into a fight in town, the guy was obviously getting ready to punch you and mouthing of about your slag of a misses, you seem him about to throw a punch and jab him in the face before he has a chance.

All this is caught on CCTV, in a court of law, you throwing the first punch are the agressor.

I would still FS that alliance, i wouldnt care if i was the agressor or not, who cares what the label is, your defending your alliance.

2.
any offensive action, attack, or procedure; an inroad or encroachment: an aggression upon one's rights.

You can spin that however you want but I would consider FAing an alliances enemy aggression and an act of war. Especially since there had been quite a bit of taunting right along with it.

"an unprovoked offensive", So FSing when provoked would not be aggression. It is a Preemptive Counterstrike... I can see the logic in Autocorrects statement. It's obviously a debatable statement, where you will get nowhere arguing, because it's mostly going to come down to ones personal opinion.

Meh, It's fun to play the game - warring or netting - regardless of all the tom fullary on these boards ;P

Fa is not an "offensice action" though, it is an agreement between two alliances. I know its the accepted policy in the community which is cool, i have no qualms with rival or laf hitting evo unless they broke a pact, hell i dont like evo :P.

However i have never understood why people get so pissy about FA at war time, just get your own, it should be mandatory for FDP's to fa their allies at war, well in my opinion anyway

I would agree FA isn't an offensive action unless the FAer knows full well that the FA is going to be used for an aggressive act. Then, IMO, the Alliance sending the FA must be considered hostile to the one the FA is being used on. It's only logical...

I don't know how many more times I have to say that rival fs was obviously reasonable and we are FDPs with imagnum and not pacted to rival which makes it okay (and kinda obliges) for us to fa imag -_-

Some people really need a comprehension course.

Autocorrect, i am glad you posted in another thread also, to prove that your logic has flaws. i was thinking of answering your posts in the other huge thread but it would have taken us away from the subject.

- first of all, there is no way you can be 100% sure you are the target of the other party.
- second, even if you were sure, by declaring you renounce the rights to call someone in defense and instead you give them that advantage (so you'd be dumb to do that).
- and third and most important: if at least 1% of the alliance leaders would think as you do, we would have wars based on future predictions and preemptive counterstrike for year 2k13.

let's get serious, shall we?

I see what you did there Oceana

and the America (#992) called in Allies to help with Iraq, so I guess there is no such a thing as FDP, just allies :P

Can not forget about those Athenians and their long walls, either, mind you.. although that was a city-state, not a country..
