Okay, it makes for a funny headline. The sad fact of the matter though is that fighting pretty much always continues after peace is declared. Not everyone visits https://amiatwarwith.org/?faction1=foo&faction2=bar [amiatwarwith.org] right before running a planned attack. Sure, it's quick nowadays but it could take months back when they had to send someone back and forth to headquarters with hand-written TCP packets.
