In the end. We knew we didn't have much of a fighting chance in this "war". It's now 3v1, and we had Aleph delete from our fam shortly before (which is a shame since it would have been a good war between us and 07 vs 08/14). 12 and 17 both violated their naps by having portaled planets in our core (yeah yeah you can complain that it's our fault because we didn't keep a closer eye on our core. but as stated by dRaGoNsUP, most people don't check their core for violations because most would think that people had honor in this game and would stick by the terms of the nap). I believe 17 did give over those planets in our core (I'm sure after sending out all their fleet), but I don't think 12 did, except for maybe boss as Oz said.
We gave it our all for having 2 active attackers vs 3 fams, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the odds were never in our favor and that we wouldn't come out of this war on top. But at least it gives us something to do at EOR rather than sit back and pick our noses. (Bored yet 08/14?
