SoL has been ambushing netters since EE started -- there was a coalition against made against SoL and SoF after the wars started and it was obvious they were going to keep attacking the netters, and all the netters lost members by being tied up in perpetual war

in the end, evo was forced to just stop fighting back and say "you win" to get the wars to stop so they could net.

one war isn't really a big deal, that happens all the time, but when it turns into a pattern that goes on for such a long time (since around 2008) it becomes an issue. I think the last time SoL fought a 'major' fighting alliance, it was the set that IX, SoF and SoL wanted to kill the whole server. Before that, I can't even remember :p

that's not healthy for the community, the server, or the game.

it shouldn't be "well, either we need to build a coalition, since we are unable to net or we need to disband"
it should be fighters leading two sides of coalitions, and bringing netters into the fold to help with the wars...

I am thinking that the change I put in to make war undeclarable on dead countries was a bad idea for the continued viability of the server :(
I really liked it though
