With the proposal of an OOC cease-fire having just been raised... and looking through EVERYTHING that has been said... at the end of the day an OOC cease-fire will cause the absolute least butt hurt.
After the OOC cease-fire, the OS can start engaging in espionage and the GR can just be like 'wtf no attack?' and then we engage in cold war tactics too. Boom, we have an IC cold war with absolutely 0 OOC drama.
The Faction has voted for a cold war, no matter how small the margin. We must now uphold their wishes to follow through. If the Faction cannot come up with a clear consensus on HOW to make a cold war happen, then decisions are going to have to be made eventually and my vote will always be for the route with the least drama for our Faction.
