Okay, this is the post of the year right here. <3
Some responses to iamthey's omega wall of text which I had the displeasure of reading:
What purpose would there have been in joining a similar alliance? Honestly, if I were ever to leave MK I would join an alliance such as IRON or TPF, if only to get an idea of how the other side comes to think about situations which seem crystal clear to me. It is much more interesting to see things from another point of view than to continue seeing things from your old point of view, especially if you have two lives.
No, this is simply not true. If there were no evidence to support that he was working for NPO, the vast majority of us would not consider it NPO's crime. You can quote me on that in case a similar situation ever comes up. Only radicals who are so biased they ignore fact would call for war against NPO in this situation.
This is somewhat true, but since Rish was a former government member, it is likely he turned himself into a monster. Having been out of the game some time, I can't comment on whether RoK changed after Rish was no longer government, but assuming it didn't, then Rish is responsible for his own actions.
The fact is that at the time of the infiltration, RoK as a whole was not responsible for Rish's actions. He may have committed crimes that could be considered valid CB if RoK endorsed them, true, but there is no evidence suggestions Rish would not have been kicked out of his alliance had they known what he was doing. Transitively, potential supporters of the "anti-tpf coalition" shouldn't consider this a fault of RoK's. They should only reevaluate their position if that position is based upon what an alliance was in the past instead of what it is now.
EDIT: One last thing:
I don't remember any time when there wasn't blatant flaming in war. And how can you honestly believe a CB should not be publicized? There is no accountability to your actions if your CB is private.
