Rogues might have taken things to an extreme but a large number of our naps are actually either to enable, or to end wars rather than being about avoiding incs. Ironically if you had made this post about us a couple of weeks into the round you when we had no naps you would have been spot on - we had a great web of agreements at a lower level than a nap to avoid incs (though this was because we did not have all our defence systems in place so it was necessary).
Now however we have 6 NAPs and 1 Alliance. Excessive? probably, but it is also mostly not about avoiding incs. Faceless and Ultores are napped/allied because we are on their side in a war against Black Flag (and previously CT) as such these have actually brought us more incs not less.
CT and Rainbows were both to end the wars we were having with them - we might have done so out of the game system but one side or the other wanted the security an ingame nap would offer against conflict restarting.
HR and ND were our partners in our war with Rainbows.
As such all of our NAPs/Alliances are about war, not avoiding it. We could probably drop almost all of the NAPs (the exception being CT) and record very little increase in incs because everyone is distracted with their own wars so uninterested in rogues.
That said as noted earlier this charge would have been bang on earlier in the round, before we had NAPs. So don't always just believe what you see ingame!
