Regardless of the chest-thumping of a few individuals, the leadership of the organized Davion war effort is on board with the 72 hour window mentioned by OP (ceasefire on the 23rd through ceasefire on the 26th) being marked for defensive operations only.
We understand that no faction - no matter how well organized - can control their pugs, so we will defend our worlds and we would never ask any other faction to leave their worlds completely undefended.
Please take this opportunity to stonewall the invading Clans, and fight on as the Star League in the spirit of unity this holiday season.
It is really hard to hear "I need a break from kicking your face in because I'm going on holiday. We can return to regularly scheduled fighting once I'm refreshed." and say "Ok, that sounds good. I should let you rest when I possibly have the same advantage you have been using on me."
It is also a bitter pill to swallow, when you call on us to use our forces on the Clan front, yet Davion continuously uses its numbers to overpower Liao. It seems to me that excess Davion units could be better placed on the Clan front and make a difference there if there is to be a spirit of unity that could vaguely resemble the Star League. Davion aggression against House Liao demonstrates otherwise.
It is not chest thumping, nor a house divided - but calling this offer of a truce for what it is, an agreement made in bad faith. I in no way speak for my unit, but I think the majority of House Liao would agree with this sentiment.
The reality is, there will still be many people on, and many that are not and if they want to play, they are going to. I think the reduced numbers will ultimately decide if there is a truce. Enjoy the holidays and the time off with family, and come back and take worlds if that is what happens. Many of us will not be around and are expecting to do the same.
