I strongly disagree with the statement that GS has become the target of another team just because they'd want "death to the strat guys". I consider that statement so unfair that I feel the urge to respond despite the original post not being aimed at me or my team.
It is my philosophy that the strongest players, and the ones with the best starts should be eliminated first by an alliance. Many have acknowledged that GS is the team with the strongest players and so it is no surprise to me that they have gleamed a feeling from the teams that they are out to get them. The problem is that GS has done nothing calm these fears. They are very difficult to deal with, and whether they intended it or not, it has caused them to appear arrogant.BigFree calls it confidence…he is probably right….but what is important, is how a team is perceived by others… not their intention.
Personally, I never perused the strategy forum before joining this game, so did not know them from a bar of soap. I was the GoW-GS contact for much of the earlier part of the game, and thoroughly enjoyed my conversations & dealings with Zeit.
My current animosity is purely due to their ingame presence on Bob. I have only one vote on the GoW team, and it will always be to never accept or negotiate peace with GS, until they are removed from Bob.
GS have made a huge diplomatic blunder by invading Bob.
There is no "internal Bob" just like there was no "internal Stormia" (there is now, since we are in full command of the continent) - there's a continent with three unique, disparate cultures on it. Two of the three decided to carve the odd man out up.
Your neighbor one street over decided he'd rather not watch your little block party from afar, and decided not to stand quietly by while you and your buddy vandalized your neighbor's home.

GoW and ND have no authority whatsoever to tell Spain what she can or cannot do with her own holdings, or was there some secret Bobian accord which the rest of the teams were unaware?
Take a peek at a GoW team member's quote (in my initial post). Any time you get a guy talking about fighting to his own extinction....not to win the game (which is the goal of those for whom playing the game at hand is the primary focus), but to simply ensure that a specific someone loses....no, not even loses, just to ensure that that specific someone does not gain regional "dominance" (which is a far cry from an assurance of victory)....that's definitely NOT playing the game at hand, but falling back to some other motive.
The personal animosity between some members of GoW and RP is very real and while much of the leaderships on either side may at times be level-headed with each other, the members on each team with an emotional hatred of the other team has an impact on team policy because this is, afterall, a democracy game.
I have an ingame hate of RP for their aggressive diplomacy. They have miscalculated the effects of this, and are now paying the price.
I have an ingame hate of GS being on Bob. They miscalculated the response from GoW. They have put themselves into a position where they cannot win the game. They have taken diplomatic and military action that ensures they will have to be at war for the rest of the game. If this seems irrational … too bad. If this means Lego is handed a victory, then it will sit fine with me.
Has RP not done the same with allowing GS presence on Bob? RP are destroyed, and have no hope of returning to their formal glory. So they gift cities to GS which gives them a gaming win position.
