Not just talking about metagaming, rather the timing of invasions but also overall treatment of each other outside the game. Chaos isn't a fun plan for a lot of people right now and its more to do with social mentality than rp relevant stuff.
Invasion criteria are the criteria for judging the invasion, and only look at stuff happening inside of the invasion, except for public displays of bad behavior. Whether you, I, or staff thinks that a faction is being pushed by invasions is irrelevant to how an invasion is judged. The drama criterion does not get to be used to say "this faction is trying to wear out the other faction".
That being said, I don't really get the point of adding this rule considering it's directly referred to in the Participation criteria. This was a subject specifically brought up when the rule-set was being discussed before. If a faction has made their 100 posts and had their required members (unique writers) post by the given time limits, this seems like nothing more than an extra hoop to jump through so they can keep an invasion going. If a faction stalls for time, I don't see how 100 posts can be met by the end of a two week invasion (or whatever the theoretically agreed upon limit would end up being), and I don't see how this is an issue for the invading faction (or defending, I guess, in the theoretical event of the opposite occurring). I would think the role-play judges or admin reviewing the invasion can assess that one faction was largely absent and award the other faction the victory, given that's actually in the judgement criteria.
At the end of the day, though, I don't see how this rule would effect any average faction - I just don't see it as necessary given the numerous check boxes already set in place for factions that would presume to attempt to stall for a default win, although I also don't see this as an actual issue aside from my perception that this is just redundancy to show factions that there's a guaranteed win against a faction that somehow manage to provide 100 posts but barely so.
