here is a 2nd print screen with Zauper admiting fuding Spartans and leaving open to interpretation that they are funding now too.

In my eyes this is wrose than Fake Wars (which are punishable as far as I know).
It is not for me to say if is cheating or not.
But I know for sure that Spartans already have advantage of being Human (4k elites OOP)... We've accepted that and we will fight no matter what!
If they farm gold from CR or other such friends... well, i really have no words.
