Maybe bring up dropping the "they have no right to feel like they were wronged!" attitude as well.

Also, bring up the idea that if an alliance is clearly netting and not prepared for a blindside FS while there are also no ongoing, in-game issues (other than ones CAUSED by LCN) that would cause said alliance to expect a war, maybe consider rethinking said alliance as the target of your pre-planned war. If the previous suggestion is not up for consideration, maybe consider giving the other alliance a heads up to prepare.

I imagine a 1-week+ prep period for PDM would have made the war much more interesting because we would have, you know, did some prep. We had a major land advantage so it would have been somewhat interesting. It's clear that LCN didn't want a fun or fair war, LCN just wanted to beat on a netting clan for a few days while that clan netted away obliviously in the leadup to war.

That's sad because I thought LCN considered itself a netting clan as well.
