I give my sincere apologies to FOE for the rude comments that a few other EOP members have posted. As with every single other clan, we have a number of members who do not respond maturely to flame-bait, and although I do admire their patriotism, we are strongly against their actions. I'm sure it is the same case with the few members of FOE who are acting immaturely as well.
I am fairly certain that this war will be declined for a number of reasons, but if it is not, I will convince EOP leaders to decline it. This declaration is based upon the conflict that exists between members of FOE and members of EOP. Full out wars should be an opportunity for clans to improve themselves and to have fun, not as a medium of proving superiority and fueling verbal conflicts. Personally, I have nothing but respect for FOE, but I cannot say the same for every member in EOP, and many members of FOE hold negative opinions towards EOP as well. At this point, a full out war would be based upon conflict and not upon respect. Because of that, we cannot go through with such a war. Perhaps in the future when relations between EOP and FOE become positive, it may be a more ideal time for a full out war.
It has been stated by Walli that this war is meant to prove FOE's superiority over EOP. Speaking for myself, I believe that FOE is clearly the superior clan in f2p. I'm sure it is common knowledge to the entire community as well. Even if this war were to happen and EOP were to win, my opinion would still not change. FOE has proven themselves for years while EOP has only begun to compete in these recent weeks. We need not a full out war to prove anything.
For these reasons, I beg of all EOP and FOE members to resolve their conflicts so in the future when EOP improves and becomes better match for FOE, we can have a full out war that is based on respect instead of conflict.
