The Church of Satan wrote:I wouldn't call attacking a treaty ally a "mild offense." TBH should have known better, or if they didn't care that it was one of TNP's allies, should have expected a firm response from them. TBH brought this on themselves.
TNP acknowledges that TBH was "not cross-endorsed and so the risk of a raider delegate being installed was minimal." That's not "attacking a treaty ally".
The so-called 'defenders' on the other hand overthrew the native delegate. Given that in the TGW thread it is admitted that TNP "is one of the most reliable supporters of invasions among the Feeders" I struggle to believe that this violent overthrow was any sort of accident on the part of the 'defenders'. TNP opposed them ideologically and were punished; in this case it had the added benefit of attempting (apparently successfully) to drive a wedge between TNP and TBH
