Tournament VII - Champions Return - Rules/Prizes

Can assassins attack encamping commanders? I've sent many assassins against armies occupying a portal square; although I only received successful reports no effect was ever visible.

Someone knows if assassins have been disabled during the tourney, if they still don't work against occupying armies or if it can be a NAP/confed issue?

Example?

Mr Damage - your Population calcs are unfortunately flawed but this probably isn't the thread to debate it though.

Let me put something by you which might get you to understand.  Let's say your alliance was currently in first place and a bunch of people started posting on the forum (rightly or wrongly) that it was because you were way too powerful and everyone should "take you guys out instead of each other" what exactly would you do?  Sit back and let it happen?
