Honestly, truthfully and cutting through all the BS. Both sides knew that as, after many attempts we were unable to agree on a diplomatic way to prevent this war happening, something was going to trigger it. Whichever way you look at it, it was escalating cause and response from both sides. Where you draw the line of definition on who declared the war doesn't really matter. We made multiple offers of NAP extensions and/or farming+no massing agreements in an effort to stop this occurring. Omega's official line in diplomatic talks was simply that they would not agree to it, unless "there was special benefits to the Omegan Empire".
End result. Instead of a NAP and friendly relations we offered, you chose to be the recipients of some very special benefits indeed. Massings, delivered the TA way.

What massings? You do realise that OE have been at constant war for months before the TAF..I remember talking to someone, I think it might have been Robe about TAF actually having more to lose for once. By the time TAF came to the party, we had long since worn out our 100 trill plus defences. And then we have math boasting that he sabbed away my defence. Seriously I was laughing! If he wants to sab a few thousand weapons for the loss of so many spies every time...I'll bloody build a similar defence and he's WELCOME to sab it all day!!
And to prove that he would have been toast if there was no lag:
02:09 Mathlord 32,516,965,940 Naquadah stolen 15 1,336,699 625,581 21,985,718,786,200 54,688,978,737,000 details
Above his first attack on me..
Now here's my first attack..
01:06 Mathlord Attack defended 3 358,279 241,138 26,435,689,940,600 29,145,085,416,000 details
A whole hour before..I've taken down 100 plus trill defences in far far less time. And he had another advantage, but of course that is merely game mechanics so I can't really complain..he got an automatic war setting with me after my toil of one hour. It was EXTREMELY frustrating happening at the single most opportune time for me as I had and usually have alot of other work to do out of the game.
As for the whole NAP thing, seriously TAF's offer is ridiculous. We didn't give TL, an alliance we actually get along with such a long NAP. I predict this war will drag on and it will come down to who has the most resources. As for Omega, yes the long break has pissed off quite a few and a few have quit for now. We are still reorganising the alliance and the Empire, tbh it gets extremely frustrating when one comes on to play and wham, some new bug ingame, so I can understand why people all want to quit. But our core strength remains, even if a few are away temporarily.
