I agree, it was RoK's evil plan to say "don't aid that rogue or we'll war you" and then somehow [s]mind control[/s] [s]hypnotize[/s] force NSO's hand in aiding the rogue. I blame RoK for making NSO aid a rogue they were told not to aid. Although I have to question the usefulness of an evil plan that requires your enemy's cooperation in doing what you told them not to do. Reverse psychology?

Of course they were going to aid their member. RoK admitted to not having solid proof that he was a rogue. They were going on what TENE said. Had solid proof been given before or during the discussion between Hoo and Heft, things might have been different. As it is, that didn't happen. Still, I find it interesting that RoK was so quick to jump into a war. If I was in Hoo's position, I'd have asked for proof before running off and dragging my treaty partners into a war...unless I had wanted a reason for a war. In that case, as soon as my protectorate came whining to me, I'd had gone in guns blazing.
Reverse psychology? I think not.
