"Systematically stubborn and insulting"? Come on, this is Kabrinskia we're talking about. How likely do you think that is?
I believe the current odds are about 90:1 that they WON'T be stubborn or insulting at any point in this war. On the flipside, for every gold you bet that they will be, you'll get 1 gold and 1 copper back if they are!
