If I am known for anything I hope it's for my honesty. I will give an honest unbiased perspective of what happened.
Teutonic was very upfront about the offer they received, and they were also very upfront about that they were considering the offer. I appreciate this instead of a sudden and unexpected betrayal like with Fallen.
That being said, We gifted Teutonic a fief when we didn't have to. They claim to have "Earned" most of what they have in their army (We gave them most of it). Tell me Teutonic, how easy would it have been to earn this without KUTT's S&D and the free village we gave you? and the troops? Clearly they are in debt to us financially, and in support wise. We took them under our wing and made their fief a top priority in the defense against BRD. They were given the opportunity to betray our trust and friendship, they considered it, openly discussing it with us, and then took the offer. Sure it was a dick move, but at least they weren't sneeky about it.
When they made a decision about the offer. They came to myself and Tanken, and said and I quote "We are going independent. You can either join us and serve us, or you can ROT."
Is this how you treat a friend who helped you get on their feet? Gave them a free place to meet and talk with eachother ((teamspeak)), fought many battles with them? Gave them financial aid and aid in numbers? They refused to pay us anything back and decided to keep the fief we gifted to them.
I banned them, all of them, for seven days. It was not done out of malice. I figured they had explained themselves enough, and I wanted to give them a break to avoid them getting flamed by our own upset members. I think this was fair, wise, and prudent.
TL;DR - Quit Hating on KUTT and BOAT clan, we're cool
