Quoted for the Truth. It was specially painful. The entire CDT ready to come in defense of BDC at the first move, zzzptm feeding us with made up information, a sudden Browncoats surrender and us learning we were all fooled on OWF. The support we vouched for BDC, the plans we made to help them, suddenly looked like a pathetic joke. And we felt the joke was on us.
zzzptm got away with it with his head over his shoulders, and that's something that I was strongly against, personally. No idiot should be allowed to play his friends the way he did and get away with an "exile" at another alliance. Specially because BDC's entry in CDT involved a major ammount of faith from some signatories and some internal disagreements at the time, most CDT signatories were not expecting zzzptm would slam the door back in their face after such demonstration of trust less than one month before.
zzzptm's punishment was indeed very generous for what he would have deserved. This whole affair had a bigger price to be paid by CDT than it should have, mostly due to indirect consequences.
