Someone posted a mass message showing that Pyro was in fact recruiting for next age. I'm also more than aware of the fact that you can most definitely recruit people without immediately moving them into the kd, especially when you're recruiting for next age. But that isn't even the point. Let's say he was crazy, wasn't recruited at all, and just plundered on a whim because he thought it would please Pyro. How is that different than what you quoted?
The hilarious kicker of all this being that both kingdoms also initially denied knowing who the rogue province was.
No one told Bour to raze. They told him to threaten to raze you. While that might be grasping at straws, so is trying to point out the differences between what happened with Pyro and Emeriti.On the flip side the other friendly was sitting in their council channel, got told to raze by emeriti's monarch and steward, in a fight between the clear #1 and #2 kingdoms (we were both 33k and #3 was like 22k at the time)
