Yeah, we always knew at the beginning of this Strat Hospitaller was going to have a huge target on them because most all of the clans in NA didn't like them. We were one of them, but we also set out this Strat to set aside grudges and friendships we had created last strat and start entirely new, basically as a new entity. So, we sided with Hospitallers, knowing their reputation would carry and others would still glare at them.
Sure, there were a few things that increased the size of the crosshair on Hospitallers, which of course put us in the sights as well--but what many preached of not wanting to do with power blocks this game, has already been done.
Clarify two things - you were the main one trying to get a powerbloc against hospitallers - you desperately wanted an alliance with either FCC or hospitallers, preferably us but we absolutely said no we don't want UIF in NA, so you got Hospergllers by default not ebcause of some noble idea of fighting for Hospergllers because clans might dislike them - they were the most powerful faction with most fiefs most troops and most incoming gold thanks to Eu at the beginning of this strategus - not some fake underdog.
Second, we are not allies with any of the people attacking hospitallers or KUTT. We made a merc agreement with Remnant and you caused Teutons to go against you rather than stay with you. Its not some massive alliance taking you down - FCC took over half your fiefs and teleported many of your players and took most of your caravans before anyone else ever declared war on you. We gave your fiefs away to others. We even tried to reach a peace after Fallen decided to attack you - which, since they got attacked right afterwards by a true allliance and several other factions (they have a right to say what you are trying to say about KUTT) consisted of attacking 1-2 of your guys in their territory.
You absolutely refused giving up one city even though this peace would have benefitted your sub-clan allies who had neither of the cities. You chose to be shit on - you turned teutons against you, you refused peace with the faction kicking your butt, and then your supposed ally Hosperggler has done nothing but merc for you despite having over 10,000 troops, many of which are in fiefs that are not even being attacked. Most of the factions attacking you are acting independently - not some mega-alliance like Hospergllers+KUTT+Malat+Chevalieres+Teutons+Swiss+Astralis+etc. was at the beginning. Its not all these independent factions' fault your alliance essentially crumbled in the face of adversity and that you antagonized multiple factions ina short period of time.
P.S. Stop pretending to be some noble martyr - it really doesn't fit the situation and is incredibly false based on what actually transpired. You have been pushing for a mega-alliance since he beginning and you got one - it just didn't pay out as you expected because of bad diplomacy.
