Your breaking NAP was not legal. You thought we had miscounted and so thought to catch us out and attack a tick before we were expecting it, if we had been wrong it would have been legal but sneaky -- as it is its fully a NAP break.
Also - there is nothing sneaky about saving for days before canceling - it is only to be expected. You cancel when you have the savings - hopefully when you can surprise the other family into not having savings. I do not see why this would be considered sneaky. From what I could tell of all the conversations going on -- and even from the NAP itself, we knew we would be fighting this round, why would we cancel and then start saving? That would be stupid.
I don't know enough about the 08 situation to comment on it but they honestly seem a bit small potatoes to whine about.
-Yeah sorry that was my point. IF it had been what I thought it was, then it would have been legal but sneaky. And while it was sneaky, it would have been no sneakier than your saving in advance, or cancelling during a war. What your family thinks about 08 is kind of irrelevant, it was a declared war, and you cancelled while we were in it. 15 is still getting raped by 08, as I'm sure you see in your infils.
And you guys really don't know enough about the 08 situation to comment on it (not at you Tia, but at Star99). 08 tried repeatedly to get small camaars portalled in our core. they then started clearing us DURING our war with 13. When 05 attacked 13, we gave them a NAP, and we had all our shiny fleets with nothing to do. Naturally we cleared another wave of camaars, and then started raiding. As I have stated before, I have no idea why 15 cancelled on 08 (I'm sure there are quite a few of you who don't trust in my word, but I assure you I don't lie in uni).
Bottom line is that many would consider it bad form to do "what I thought I was doing" (i.e. capitalizing on your mistake and going early. Again, as it turned out, I was wrong, but that aside...). Some would also consider it bad form to cancel on a fam who is already in a declared war posted in uni. I only bring this up because people are calling my tactics 'cheap' and 'pussy'.
Let it go on the record that I will take advantage of any situation I need to take advantage of in order to protect my fam. So yes, PMode is a survival tool in this case, and it will work for a little while at least.
