I smell a challenge.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Well then try and prove it...
If it turns out you're right, I'll go and campaign for the removal of Liberation resolutions, and for the old griefing rules (or some other substitute) to be implemented.

A WA delegate can also, at whim, eject anyone. Please read the FAQ. But do we bother? No, because it's important with motives. However, back to the words again. I meet players who interpret the words in their way. However, different players interprets different. For some players, all raiding is "griefing", for others, it's raiding+password, and for others it's raiding+password+ejection, and then the raider WA delegate sits there, and let the region to die. I would argue that "griefer" and "defender" are not objective words, but words containing moral values. And, as always, it's "My moral is better than yours." "Defenders" consequently label the raider as untrustworthy, a crook, evil. This they do purely on subjective, moral standards, not on the grounds of what the game actually states how players can behave. This they do in order to justify their own military ambitions, nothing more. Such hypocrisy is transparent, bar to the indoctrinated "defender" cadre. There are no such things as "defenders" and "griefers", it's only those who are with you, and those who oppose you, but "defenders" cherish to label opponents in negative moral terms. It's just like oxygen to them.
