The collateral damage of the whole war, just like with any other (real) war, was way too big. As always, bystanders and occasional participants, suffered more than those at the front.
That said tho, I am happy that a truce, and agreement, has been reached. At least this reallocates huge amount of VP to be used positively. As for the solution, it’s a loose-loose for anyone involved, also the community. But it will refocus many on doing what matters. And maybe, just maybe, one or two may have learned something from it and it can have been an eye-opener to them to learn how the pool works.
