Some of ya'll are taking things too seriously.
I can't speak for the heads but it sounded as though they made it very clear we were going to war.
My opinion and some facts (probably more of my opinions tho) on the events:
We were put on notice to save turns early, prepared to take on a FS from LaF in hindsight. Instead, LaF hit SoF and we were told to grow huge. Several players were quick to point out there was no competition left, unless we took on the entire server (I thought we were just preparing to get FSd and figured we'd net, since 2/3 of the tops were alrdy at war). Jumping in at that time and hitting LaF or SoFElders would still have pissed people off.
You're all pretty smart people. Turn off your bias for a second and put yourself in our shoes. Taking on the server is/was the only viable option after LaF hit SoFElders. The heads were smart and brought in some SOL members, as that would make it much closer of a match. Organize and fight if you want, and if you don't want to, go on with netting next set and thereafter. Or hope the rest of the server organizes and fights and kills us all and you go unscathed. Don't be such poor sports. I think the decision by our leadership was bold, and the only play that isn't bullying anyone. The server had more countries, more NW, more activity, so I'm not shocked at all not everyone was dec 24 hours in advance.
