Ok, need to speak.... 
Normaly I would ask the aguing parties to grow up and look beond their own egos, and perhaps make things less serious....
But... as an old timer myself, and how things turned in this soon to be stonage game without mutch new stuff happning in any way, old time morale and honour is almost gone, and things like this is what makes people staying after all.
But... when Aragon and 46 fam arguing in this thread though, its not other fams matter to interfeer in the argument, or war... If you cant see the humor and takes anything so serious that you(whomever) needs to be dirty and go over the line, then perhaps online games is to mutch to handle for selfich brains, and you should quit.
If you on the otherhand likes the action in this game, and all the oppertunities to try new moves and combinations, and also include the wery important, but less and less used diplomasy, then why be personal? Lets have fun instead.
Regarding Aragon, if anyone haves a problem with him and how he plays, then the answer lays in the question... the person with the problem, IS the person with the problem. :-)
Anyway, I`m not rolling down to 46 eighter, and who is really loosing ths war???
They where ranked 5, we 16.
Now they ranked 9, we 17.
In numbers, they grown, and we stay about zero, but thats not the point. Small fams have less to loose, I dont care if I end 10, 15 or 20, we cant be top 5 anyway... so we have fun. Ranked 5-10 fams normaly have ambitions and smells the chance to grow in ranks, and often farm smaller fams. Now and then, they hit a fam with few players, and small NW that dont match the players in that fam, and thats when the farming aint that fun anymore.... Our fam had an dispute with 59, witch we did NOT loose, as staded erlier in the thread, we negotiated peace with diplomasy. So, even Aragons fam can be trusted, even though I probably was the "phone" betweem 59 and Aragon. 
Back to the point.... farming a small fam who suddently gives a fight, with players who knows what to do, and dont caring if they loose the war, the bigger fam needs to put resorses for that war, and halt parts of the fam growt. 46 do not loose this war, but they loose the oppertunity to keep the growth race against the other top fams, and indirectly our fam then may destroy their chance for a top 5 or even 10 ranked place at the end. Also, by showing the galaxy, that we aint afraid, and actualy slow down their growth, they will be delisious meals for the other top fams after this war, and then we indirectly did that too.
So, as long as this fight continues, my view is that they loose way more longterm than us. We might even get their company down this ranks, after the following wars they will get if this one coninues mutch longer :-)... We winn 
But, it seems like talks is in progress, so perhaps a little light in the tunnel is comming closer :-)
waste, the legacy of mankind.
