why isnt there talk of the war here

The reason for this war is stated on Stomps alliance profile. It´s quite simple and direct.
Stomp has acted in an open way with it´s opponent T-SC, giving fair warning of Stomp´s intent to challenge T-SC´s land claim.
T-SC ignored our igms and hence Stomp declared war and sent it´s siege.
At the time this was just my personal campaign to fight land claims. T-O council member Figjam contacted me to understand the situation and try to reach terms. I offered peace if T-SC withdrew their land claim for which Figjam told me that that was unlikely. He asked me to guarantee him that it was just me and my other account attacking to which I told him yes, and he said that T-O would not get involved.
The day of the siege, a one player alliance (Stomp) was attacked by T-O, which is fine, I believed in Figjam´s word that they would not get involved but who knows if other discussions within T-O made them change their mind. I was ok with that, so I declared war on T-O as well, and later saw yellow reinforcements going to the town I was sieging.
At this point, it was at least 3 alliances against 1 player.
After the siege was over, which I thought to be a victory for all parties involved, I was able to reduce the pop of the town to meet the requirement of either capture or raze. I knew very well that the town was reinforced and that I would not be able to capture or raze, but I sent it anyways, with the satisfaction that I had accomplish withstanding the 90 plus attacks on my siege. I consider it a win for T-O and T-SC as they were able to defend their town.
After the siege, seeing that I was up against 3 alliances, speaking with a friend in Shark I asked him if he was willing to join the fight and at the same time trying to keep Shark out of it, since other members also wanted to join Stomp. He agreed and joined. A couple of smaller players asked to join as well, I did not know them at the time, but welcomed them to Stomp.
Still lacking the numbers to fight T-SC with the help of T-O, I felt a little bit more confident with the players that Stomp picked up. Unfortunately, 6 alliances have declared war on Stomp and no longer can we attempt to fight alliances with land claims, one at a time.
So that´s where we are at the moment. Recruiting more members that believe in our cause. The war doesn´t have to be ugly, I will continue to fight and try to be as fair as possible with the opposition, even though the same courtesy has not been extended in our direction.

Well looks like RE and Trivium joined in the fight, I guess SIN and T-O couldn't handle a 6 on 1 fight.

Players doesn't want to talk about war because nobody enters war without some kind of personal agenda to gain something useful for themselves.

I'm new to Illy, but old enough in other games and forums to agree with veteran players.
