ANST - war points

[Chris Backus]

As far as Ansteorra always adapting and winning, what is the record of the past Gulf Wars?  They've mostly been official ties, but what tales do the points tell?  Has anyone kept track of all?

    That is an extremely rational way of looking at the situation.  However, people seldom if ever behave rationally--
    especially if it is something near and dear to them.
     
    From what I've seen posted so far, past experience dictated that having "winners and losers" were counterproductive
    to this Kingdom being able to play in the sand box with other Kingdoms.  Mainly due to the fact that the diversity
    in this Kingdom allows it to adapt and dominate an opponent over time.  If another Kingdom chooses to no longer
    play with us because they always lose--yes, bad on them.  However, that still doesn't change the fact that Ansteorra is left in the middle of the Knowne World having to play with itself.
     
    Isn't it just as mature to understand the problem, understand the solution, know you beat the tar out of them, and
    then just say, "Well fought--see you next year to break the tie"?
     
    I'm not saying that it's right, I'm just say that the possible alternative (having our opponent take their ball and go home) is unacceptable.  Especially in light of the fact that you have concrete history to support the decision.
