FS have played the game they see fit for the last few ages, showing they're willing to ignore CF offers and powerplay KDs for weeks when it suits them, while also showing they're more than willing to ask for outside help when things aren't going their way. I've not been following this age too much and not read the whole thread but there's comments about FS dealbreaking this age and bottom feeding for honour, so for the 3rd age in a row FS find themselves at the centre of a controversy.

If ED waving FS is enough to have the hostile declared "invalid" after a few hours of no hits/ops (only for FS to start them again after Pyro wave) and it being grounds to ask alliance for aid, then I don't see any reason why FS "picking on" a KD much like ED "picked on" FS isn't grounds for other KDs to engage FS. Utopia has a unique way of people remembering KDs previous actions and judging them in kinda, probably the closest thing to karma we're going to get.

Glad to get involved vs. FS, live by your actions.
I completely agree with this. Few kingdoms get special treatment regardless of their actions. Like fs power play we have seen this age and previous. However if another kd does it then quite possible you'll be dealt with
