It seems that the Utopian police, otherwise known as Absalom abuse bugs.
Case in point:
1. Provinces in Grace of Absalom making a trad march then sending 1 sol bounce for ambush protection against Old School.
2. Provinces in Grace of Absalom casting Land Lust against Old School AFTER Grace runs to fake war with Dragons of Absalom and Old School not being able to Land Lust Grace due t them being in war.
These abuses have of course been reported and hopefully Thundergore takes appropriate action before the age ends. But the real question remains. Why do the "Police" break the rules?
