That's not entirely untrue, I myself spent much of my peacetime manipulating Steel and other markets. That was just to horde pixels though, not pad stats for a war I didn't even know was going to happen.
Now I'm not the best at math, but I'm pretty sure Arcadia + 20% of BK still leaves the numerical majority of IQ nations out of the war. Personally I am fighting and I still find these threads, and the OWF in general boring as all hell, as you can see by my post count.
I think Occam's Razor would serve you well here. Which is more likely? That hundreds of members IQ who would have been shitposting along with you guys are all bound and gagged by leaders who totally have the free time to micromanage us all? Or do we just not give a shit about a war that most of us aren't even involved in?
