Its common practice to not post exploits on the forums, beyond the basic explanation I gave. If the devs want a more in-depth look at my opinions on an exploit I'm willing to send it to them privately.
I like the idea of war chest options, but limiting it to specific percentages such as 50% is very much needed. If you let those percentages go too high then realms like Aurvandil with extremely high levels of cooperation (that dwarfs their neighbors) gain a huge advantage. While some may not see this as a problem, others do, including myself.
It seems a dumb practice to me. If any player or players out there know of ways to exploit the game, I would suggest that making the potential exploit publicly known so that it can be fixed and/or monitored is preferable to keeping that information secretly to your self. Go ahead and feel all smug and self righteous but I can not at all agree with your reasoning.
