Blackzilla told a lot of stories to everyone to try to maneuver himself strategically to be a city owner, and wanted to be independent and his own clan leader in a "power play" that failed miserably. FCC were repeatedly attacking the city with no waiting between battles for every day before that, and he apparently negotiated with them before the last battle to afford himself the opportunity to attack it and seize it.
At that point I was gladly ready to surrender the city to anyone else, I would've fought against FCC until the end because of our clanmates putting troops into it, but due to the equipment being at the point that no polearms, ranged, shields, siege gear, almost everything being unspawnable it was the most unfun thing I had to deal with in Strat, since it was 3 battles in a row every night of a buggy POS mess.
Blackzillas power play was an opportunity to escape the endless sieges that were the opposite of fun and just total garbage to participate in and made me feel bad for the players trying to endure it to remain competitive and have a good time, and I figured FCC or Occitan or Hero Party or anyone would go back to sieging the city immediately except with the battles not being totally fucked.
Any armies around Ahmerrad being banned had nothing to do with me or any Hero Party members plotting, it was a different problem and situation that escalated on its own.
As far as I knew, I thought the only sieging army from FCC was the one that was banned temporarily in vick's which was ironically funny but not intentional.
Honestly I used the situation as an excuse to let the city become someone else's problem and my main hope was that any future fights for it wouldn't be item bombed pieces of shit. I thought it would be in the rules to surrender to a third party faction instead of the largest, most prominent aggressor, and think that the constant rebellions and distrust in the ranks of Hero Party players is pretty funny and in spirit of the game.
