Had Blade suicided, that is embarked upon the type of attacks described in the Extreme acts of War section of the EWPP

(--10+ harmful spyops made by at least one country against any single country within 24 hours

--5+ landgrabs by any country on a single tag within 48 hours*

--5+ landgrabs by any tag on a single country within 48 hours*

or, with one of his Rager friends,

--10+ special attacks (non-missile) made, by 2+ countries, against any country within 24 hours

--5+ missile attacks made, by 2 countries, against any country within 24 hours)

then it is my belief that Rage would have been obliged, if they did not wish to trigger the EWPP, either to take Blade's country down (as was at one time considered the only honourable course) or to make an offer to OMA in the terms specified in the Pact.

But Blade has enough discipline and regard for his former clan not to embroil them. He has said that he was waiting 72 hours in the belief that this would have released Rage from their obligations.

In the event OMA decided to take matters into their own hands.

No EaoW has taken place. There is no basis that I can see for the Pact to have any relevance.
