If you look at the charts now (as of today) I think you can agree that anyone above Sparta is pretty much 'competing' and those below them are 'not'.

I have no problems with them beating down other KDs to prevent warring KDs from suddenly getting too big and come into range to get significantly taxed by the top as I myself do not part-take in the practice of taxing warring KD for CF because I've been on the ghetto side and getting asked for uncontested acres is just gay as hell. Also, I do not think any growth KD would want to tax Sparta because of the potential FSU.

1) Prevent other KDs from coming into range to get taxed
2) Doesn't get taxed themselves
3) Encourage growth KD to compete by conflict once whorable acres dried out on the server
4) If Sparta sees an opportunity to go for the crown I am sure they will do it, but by then they'll be playing on the same field the others competing are; no more free CFs to hide behind and I welcome more competition any day.
I don't care about the land crown or top land competition. I am talking about the cheating, the abusive way they treat others and general just bs Bart puts out. In the old days there kingdom would be razed killed for this behavior. I understand your friendly with Bart but the dude is an a** to alot of people. I know 3 kingdoms besides myself right now that would dedicate there entire age to raze kill and disburse Spartans if they could. But with game mechanics the way they are would just restart green and continue there cheating. Abusive ways.
