I really dont want this to be taken as me speaking for Emeriti in this instance - I assure you I am *not* and this is just my opinion on things. This has not even come up but for people to band together when things happen to them, people generally need to treat each other well and not be dicks to each other.

For instance this age, newnamekd / pandas waved us while we still had armies out on a kingdom we gave button to that had provinces in range of most of our core provinces (though not in range to declare war). that to some would be considered a hostile. anyways for them to CF and move on they demanded 2 free waves or 15% of our land, WEEK ONE. Typically week one, you wave someone once and for that you get a CF for 2-3weeks. I personally have never taken more than the initial wave I made on someone to cf them OOP - week after which is about ~3k land or so and typically amounts to 10% of kd land. Hesus and I go way back and used to play in various kds / alliances / servers together but he refused to talk to me on irc and sent vir to talk to me who was just a dick in my opinion. I also have a good relationship with coss as well, did not see him coming to do dipole. Again not speaking for the kd here, but in my opinion, I don't enjoy being treated that way by people and wouldn't expect people want to be my boys if I treated them like that. Its a very small server nowadays [also just confused me why zauper would hit us this age when 2 other kds already were.] Just saying....people who help each other out are usually tight, they haven't gang banged the kd they want help from a couple of ages ago or some other stuff.

Every single kingdom can point to an instance every other kingdom has wronged them. It takes a bigger man to stand up to blatant dealbreaking. The instance you describe can be easily solved the next time you're in a position to tax them. I b2b'd pandas and we fought for 3 weeks straight a few ages back. They were mad at me for stuff the age before. Doesn't mean I can't stand by them when they get dealbroken. Sanc got dealbroken by hellrazor ages ago and I offerred to give sanc their land back, only if rage would chip in so all three top 3 kds would be reset to how they were. Rage wouldn't. My position on this has always been clear, regardless of how friendly I was with the kingdom being ****ed.

You're much more likely to be winning most of the next 10 ages and more likely to be getting ****ed in the future by these donks, you're much better off not just looking the other way 2 ages in a row now when someone dealbreaks someone that helps you, as you're likely to win anyways even if you do help, based on how well your performed in your last war. All you need to do is keep people happy and let them give you a shot and you'll win. But that requires both confidence and a sense of morals. Do you have those?
