I'll admit I don't know the full story (and there are various stories since every kingdom has their own version), but there are a bunch of kingdoms who took advantage of the whole situation. Yours included.
The whole opping story from CR to you is mostly fable, I saw Rens write about it on BB trashtalk (after a few from BB complained about ops from CR) that it was halfassed being done to both BB and Divinity and the damage done with ops on both sides was pretty low. I also remember seeing you on a fairly low amount of GC even before CR came out of eowcf. I don't know about you, but it's pretty hard to FG money on a low gc stock.
Without CR, you'd still come out bottom because BB's prep was seemingly better than yours. Nothing to be ashamed off though, as your kingdom doesnt have the same hours of preparation experience at the top as BB leaders had among eachother?
