@ Harmy- What do you mean, attitude? If this is still about the allies, fine we'll fight you without allies.
@ Everyone Else- Whats with all the Hippie Talk? The point of these threads we make it to manage war, not to make peace. This, is 100% factual (opinion), that all the arguments we have are worse because we try so hard to avoid war. When we prioritize peace, and use words to 'defeat' our enemies, we end up with situations like the one with that pro saradomin clan or w/e they were called. If we had just faught them, somebody would have one, and then the Saradominists would have had there fun, got bored and left, because they were a pro clan.
However, everybody refused to fight them, and made a big hulabaloo over it. Stating all these rules that prevent the clan from warring them (as to not rick losing their land), that argument takes a week, which only instigates the pro clan to want to war us more. Then, it leads to further argument over more rules we need, and of course we don't agree on those. Then it also leads to arguments over whether what clans should even be allowed in. And then after all those arguments, people are so fed up with each other, they now want to war, even though they weren't enemies to start off with! Then there's more even more time spent preventing those wars! So all in all, we spend a month argueing just to avoid war. Yet if we had just warred the saradomimist pro's right from the start, it would have been over in less than a couple of days.
...
So... In conclusion. Peace does not solve much. Even if you manage to solve it with words, the hatred is still there. The thing with (Clan Wars) war is, when somebody loses, it's easy to rebuild broken bridges, and become friends again eventually. But when you have to rely on words to win (land or any other debate), if and when (because there will...) real harmful words are said, they aren't as easy to recover from.
War is simply more effecient and better for the Community in the long run
