Beastblood did not op Rage out of war.
Sanctuary however robbed Beastblood just before Mercy noticed us 2 ages ago. Seems to be the same case now.
I knew long before he posted that Havoc was running 0 thieves. I actually payed a friend to taunt Havoc since at the time my province was being sat still (I'm not active currently), it was never on Elit's request. Elit even asked me if I taunted before or after he posted because he did not want to be affiliated with it.
I also knew Rage ran 0thieves last age at some point, I also knew Sanctuary had 0 thieves (we both probably know who taunted Sanc this age). I'd share that with my friends just like you do with yours. Don't try to be a saint when you're all but a saint.
