Why is it every time I fight in New Zealand, I find myself fighting you?

Is this cruel, cruel fate that always brings us together? Is it our destiny to be forever entwined in a conflict across the Tasman?

Whether the wars are wars or training wars, a familiar avatar greets me nigh every time. And again we fight.

But I had a gander at your profile. We are not so different. We are both old players that look very young. I used to be a member of a party that used a copious amount of the letter "P". We are both pretty similarly placed on our national ranks. We are both all around good guys. And by the looks of it we both like a (pretty darn awesome) certain TV series.

But I find myself facing a question. Are you constantly fighting me as well? Or is this a rather one-sided relationship, a cruel artificial construct due to a quirk of the game's engine?

Dear Daniel Dodge,

I'm gonna cut this straight like a Primer 1 would.
Wanna be friends?
