Pale I know that some do spend the time to sort through news, correspondence etc. I also do understand that it's a big task.
The thing is I tried to point out that FS behavior is not okay. I was ignored , ridiculed and called a liar. 7 separate kingdoms stepped up and tried to say the same about how they were treated by FS this age. All of them were dismissed and called liars. There are more that are too afraid to speak up and I promised not to give their names or locations because of threats made. This is a problem.
FS tried to threaten and quiet us as well. But someone had to stand up. If we had not hit into that war, nor you or any one else would have cared enough to do anything simply because the kingdoms it happened to "don't matter".
After all this you are STILL defending FS and accusing SS. FS had every opportunity to say"hey sorry we'll try to do better" before this war. They didn't.
We hit into their "hostile" and I explained why again...and again I was threatened by FS ignored by "the police".
You and FS did not give us a choice. If we wanted the kingdoms not competing for the crown to have a voice we only had one way to do that.

The community can not let one kingdom break the rules and then reward them for it.

But just because you are still not holding FS accountable and because TommyB insists here just one of the mails written by Francis. It was hard to pick just one.

> Lord Wormrot the Sorcerer of Meteor to the Face (Francis FS steward) said:
i cant reach our monarch so i cant confirm this but you cant be lying about something i can check with him when he gets on. i admit this is serious ****up on our part.
i apologize for the rising tension as i couldnt have known why you were 'that' angry while unaware of this exchanged pm.
we keep our words above everything else and its clear we didnt due to miscommunication. i am ready to make any compensation, you name the form. if you are willing to fight (kingdom the recipient was in a hostile with), we can throw some hits on them as well to equalize the situation.

He admits to breaking a deal because he didn't know the monarch made it (the steward/monarch game also mentioned by at least 3 separate kingdoms)
It also shows that they in fact hit into an active hostile.
and then he offers to interfere in the hostile some more by hitting the opponent

each one of these would be reason for action on any other kingdom.
It is not SS that messed this age's crown race up , it's FS
