I understand your argument but that would require a tremendous re-write of the rules.  I won't say that it won't ever happen.  It is highly unlikely.  But if you're determined you need to maybe start with a grass roots movement...like a society or foundation.   ;)
Flyers and pamphlets are in production as we speak. ;)

Random: I finally figured out how to phrase it.

If an army attacks country A and country A doesn't fight and in so the army leaves it alone, did the army beat country A?

If you want an answer you will need to ask someone from France.

I would say no, absolutely not. No competition means no victor.

You have a very odd definition of victory bubbleboy.

Vic·to·ry – noun
1. a success or triumph over an enemy in battle or war.
2. an engagement ending in such triumph: American victories in the Pacific were won at great cost.
3. the ultimate and decisive superiority in any battle or contest1: The new vaccine effected a victory over poliomyelitis.
4. a success or superior position achieved against any opponent, opposition2, difficulty, etc.: a moral victory.
5. (initial capital letter) the ancient Roman goddess Victoria, often represented in statues or on coins as the personification of victory.

1Con·test – noun
1.a race, conflict, or other competition between rivals, as for a prize.
2.struggle for victory or superiority.
3.strife in argument; dispute; controversy: Their marriage was marred by perpetual contest.

2Op·pose – verb (used with object)
1.to act against or provide resistance to; combat.
2.to stand in the way of; hinder; obstruct.
3.to set as an opponent or adversary.
4.to be hostile or adverse to, as in opinion: to oppose a resolution in a debate.
5.to set as an obstacle or hindrance.
6.to set against in some relation, esp. as to demonstrate a comparison or contrast: to oppose advantages to disadvantages.
7.to use or take as being opposite or contrary.
8.to set (something) over against something else in place, or to set (two things) so as to face or be opposite to one another.

Again, this is just how I see it. In order for someone to actually win anything, there has to be resistence of some sort on both sides - they must oppose each other.

:laugh: I'm not going to put in on the list in deference to any French Redemption players, but if you weren't already so well represented on my list, this would probably end up there anyway.
