H? Threaten War On CE, Attempt To Extort 250mil

As I said though, Harmless? is basically justified in my view.  Obviously they can't just let people send supplies to their enemies unchecked, and since they caught CE(By the way, seriously guys?  It's almost impossible to get caught here, unless you do something stupid like send stuff directly from your cities to one under blockade or talk about it in chat.) they clearly need to take action to stop it.  this fine is a bit steep, but not all that terrible for a systematic breech of neutrality.  And honestly, you might have tried to negotiate it down.  I'd bet H? isn't so eager for new enemies they would push too hard.  Worth a try anyway.  

Also, why would you need anyone to inform you that sending weapons and supplies to combatants is a breech of neutrality?  It's pretty obvious.  I could see trade being justified, if you were trading with both sides, but you're by your own admission not.  As far as the player only having been it CE "a fortnight", where I come from that's two weeks.  It takes two weeks to tell a new player you're neutral?  Really?  

"The Chosen Eagles are proud to announce the coming together of The Chosen and The Eagles Eyrie Alliance to become the second wing of the Eagles Empire. The Chosen Eagles are not a training alliance"

Nope ... the differences are that unlike T?, CE is NOT a training alliance and the most important is that T? is not sending anything to H? as far as I know ... and if you want your alt, your friends or accounts you sit for to help you out with crafting cattle for example (like I do), all you have to do is NOT PUT THEM IN ANOTHER ALLIANCE that does not participate in the war OR do not put them in ANY alliance whatsoever ! 

Wouldn't you agree that it is a reasonable choice to not involve others in such ventures .?.

Also, it is not as if in this game people go around and attack any random fellow sitting idle without alliance affiliation ... too many juicy abandonded accounts exist for those warlike people to attack or steal from.  You can attack my friend (considering that you can find him), but hey that is the risk in participating in the war ...

So, I think that the matter is quite straightforward here ... having alts or friends outside alliances helping you is one thing and contains a certain risk, but it is a honest enough idea ... placing alts in other alliances NOT participating in the war and hiding behind that "peace curtain" while in fact you are helping them out with resources and shout "I am peaceful, I am peaceful" to gather sympathy, is quite a different concept.

... as for the fine, yes, if you or me ALONE where asked for such a sum it could be an impossible sum, but for a whole alliance .?.

I think the raise was for your failed blatant propaganda attempt, not for "simply posting" ... 

Really, they caught you people redhanded sneaking around in sieges with resources and you name war reparations as an extortion while filling your thread with all that lucid mumbo-jumbo ("terrifying", "trifling", "dictates") .?. Naahhh ... I can applaud your richness in vocabulary, but the synthesis was very "poor" indeed.
