I do not understand why Imag is considered a spam tag, yea they have less than 10 members but they have been around prior to this set.

Anyway back on OP topic, per the EWPP:
" -If a set of attacks does meet an EAoW threshold but the parties are able to resolve the situation independently, this pact need not be invoked."
[b]and lil further down...[/b]
" -If a country or alliance commits an Extreme Act of War against another and there is no independent resolution, the offending alliance, as a result of this resolution, automatically declares war on all signatories of this resolution."

So a set of attacks was met by EAoW threshold when Imag (supposed spam tag) did a FS against MONSTERS (not spam tag per exclusion list). However if both parties are able to resolve this independently, by deciding to war each other, shouldnt this no longer enact the EWPP?

Of course that is only if MONSTERS has agreed to this so called independent resolution.
