I don't think NPO really had any hard feelings towards any alliances that went against them in Karma, or any wars for that matter, and they expected them (their enemies) to be the same way.[/quote]
haha, oh wow. really? NPO not keeping hard feelings? were you born yesterday?
I think that the reality is quite clear. a whole bunch of people, real humans, experienced insane violence from NPO, "physical" (in the form of massive, month long curbstomps with 10:1 NPO:enemy NS ratios that ended with everyone being ZId and huge reps, kicking out gov, PZI and EZI, disbandments and viceroys), and/or psychological (fear of speaking up, critisizing, being singled out and rolled even if you were in the NPO side, etc).
And all these people are determined, in a way that those on the other side just can't get, to never, ever, ever be in such a situation ever again. and if that means DoWing on NPO "without a valid CB", so be it.
Not allowing NPO to bully anyone and have its way on other alliances the way it used to ever again is the best CB you can have as far as i'm concerned.
