Lol, like I said, King Dr.Acula and I convinced our founder to let us drop our pacts so Unity would have more room to grow. Bigs Cats didn't like that, naturally, and said if there wasn't some sort of diplomatic arrangement made there would be a conflict. Our founder then simply then decided to see what the terms of such a diplomatic arrangement would be, as one of the main reasons for dropping the pact was so we could farm their less active members to bolster our own growth. I then received the following message:

being attacked already. i guess we go green to red in less then 12 hours.. i had high hopes for our alliances going forward
I now know this was a lie, as if you check on grepostats, you will see this:

There was no DBP gained from the 27th to the 28th.
This was my reply:

We haven't marked you red. Who's attacking? Not going to lie to you, I gave permission to people to farm the small members of your alliance for resources. But there's so many of them, how could I not? You have 100 some players. If you had 30 less players below 1.5k, this would be a different story. But having a pact right now is hampering our growth, and we want to explore options for resources and BP. It's nothing against you, or the players who are actually active in your alliance. We merely can't continue to not farm because of your, or Breez's, dare I say, excessive recruiting.
I'm sorry mate, if you would like to explore diplomatic options that would help keep your alliance-active members safe I'm sure we can work something out, but I doubt you'll like the terms.
Apologies,
Mofo
Obviously, not the friendliest of mails, essentially saying, as diplomatically as possible: screw off, we're farming you unless you drop half your members.
Bear didn't like that, and pretty much declared war. The next day (or two, whatever) he attempted a CS attempt on one of our members, with no clearing attacks before it, and as far as I know, no support after it, that of course failed. We are now in the process of taking cities and members from them.
Score is 0-0, we'll see how long that lasts.
I predict we (Unity) will get a few cities off of them before I recruit their good players, and then we'll take maybe 10ish more before they disband. Bear666 and Breez will be rimmed, they will not be joining us.
