I don't understand how all of a sudden we are rep mongers. We have never been big for demanding reps, but you have to look at the two alliances we received reps from. TOOL attacked us, which wouldn't have been that big of a deal. Ya they were just following their treaties, as we all are. On the other hand this is the second time they have offensively attacked us in a relatively short amount of CN time. Fool me once, ok fine. Fool me twice? Ya won't happen.
Legion also attacked us. No also wouldn't be such a big deal if that's all it was. We don't have any past with them, but there were a lot of people in Sparta that weren't happy with the way Legion acted during this conflict. I guess I can personally say that they people I fought were are cordial, but others have had some experiences that weren't so pleasant. Then pair that with the run around we received from them about surrendering. It left a very sour taste for many of us. How would you feel if somebody attacked you, gave you the finger, and then continued to give you the finger even after they gave up?
I don't have any authority on the matter, but that's my take on it.
