you're inferring the wrong conclusion from the statement. the pact terms are written so each alliance is protected in the event that someone does something really stupid. it gives the alliance with the offending member the opportunity to make amends without dissolving the spirit of the pact (to not hit each other).
if stupid things never happened then pact terms would never need to be written. it could just say "this is a DP. we agree not to hit each other and we agree to defend each other". that's not how they're written, EVER. you don't seem to have an understanding of why pact terms were written out the way they are.
another way to think of this: alliances used to be 100, 200, even 300+ members. it was impossible to control the actions of all those members. therefore, pact terms had to be written out that state exactly what to do when an idiot does something wrong. it states the forms of payment to be given. that is exactly what is written into our pact. it states exactly how to pay the reps in the event someone gets grabbed. it states that we would pay for all lost networth from the grabs. that is the EXACT language. since you cannot comprehend this, you are an idiot. that's not an emotional subjective response. its an objective conclusion.
look, i know its easy to control all the members of your alliance when its 6 members. unfortunately, i have 60 people in my alliance and i need pacts to protect the alliance from random people.
Ok now we are getting somewhere.
"the spirit of the pact"
Your words not mine. As per my last post, your HFA, is the representative of your alliance to the outside world, along time ago, back when alliances were 100, 200, 300 members strong, the HFA was actually one of the most, if not the most powerful person in an alliance, because they were that person who represented the alliance to others.
Candy, who is the HFA, know why there is a pact between your alliance, I am only assuming but he probably signed the pact himself. He knows there is nothing in your pact that states it is ok for him to triple tap neofed, but he does it anyway, against the spirit of the pact, in one of the most powerful positions an alliance can have. He has broken the spirit of the pact, he has broken the pact.
I am not saying you cant make amends for that and pay reps, and make it better.
You guys put Candy in the position he was in, you trusted the wrong person, own up to the mistake, dont blame the fact that you put a fluffing retard in charge of your foriegn affairs on another alliance.
You can be pissed all you want about there reaction, i would too. But unless you actually wanted this result, own up to the mistakes your alliance made rather than blaming them on someone else.
