Do I need rp for attacking a Core 1 POB or not? Rules are not clear

[Alex.]

The rule is definitely worded weirdly, but yes, you must post some roleplay before attacking. At least sanctions for attacking POBs without roleplay/attack declaration which appear from time to time suggests so.

are they for core 1 attacks? if this is the intended interpretation, why does the rules thread say

Core One
- Players are not required to role play prior to building a Core 1 base, but any building or any attack must make inRP sense.

followed by

Core Two
- Before a player/faction attacks a Core 2 base (or higher), they must role play either in game or on the forums and provide the link to this RP in the Attack Declaration thread.

because that makes it looks like the intention was for the RP requirement to only apply when the base gets to core 2
