Still trying to get all of this figured out.   40 & 41 were both gangbanging 31 (25's ally), so 25 breaks their nap and goes after 40/41 to try to keep their ally 31 from getting raped, right?  Why was it 2 vs 1 to begin with on 31?  Could either 40 or 41 not been able to handle it themselves?   

Then..  31/25 no longer have any fight left with infra gone, fleet gone, and 40/41 now is just taking easy defenseless planets.  35 is all over in those systems so 40/41 start clearing 35 out "while still at war" with 25/31.   43 then decides "hey, they aren't really at war or they wouldn't BOTH be hitting our allies 35 ?   So 43 says "You know... this nap is over, we will war in 48 ticks" and 40/41, the 2 fams that started all this by doubleteaming 31 say it's not fair for 43 to cancel nap?   

/me still can't get this all straight!

not sure about everyone else... but I definately do not see a problem with 43 cancelling honorably on 40/41.   It seems like from the attack logs shown above that 31 isn't really in the fight so it's basically 40/41 farming (retaking) 25 right?  Not to mention, they're already hitting 35 (41's allies) so in a sense it will be 43 vs both fams.   

40/41 both had the ability to call off the attacks on 25 yet continued (and the listed attacks show it) also hit my fam for well more planets than we retook (33).    Did 40/41 really expect 43 to to allow them to remove 35 from every share before cancellation?   Why?   2 vs 1 fair because 43 is bigger?    If they would have used more fleet/morale to go after 25 than to use it up hitting us for multiple portals maybe 25 wouldn't have been close enough to retake?   

Go 43 vs 40/41 (I know I'm just an outsider watching in, but this is what seems to me is going to be the final real war

Way I figure it... 43 is man enough to allow their allies to get hit like crazy while they give plenty of preparation time, knowing it could very well be a 2 vs 1!
