2. The screwing over involved a friend of yours (obviously) getting anathematized by the Emperor. 3. You feel the action was so out of line, that people are considering quitting the game over it. 4. Your friend is way more skilled than the Emperor. I am guessing that your realize that Genofen had to name someone, and his reasons for naming your pal may have some background that you are not aware of. I suppose that if Gen had named someone that is NOT your personal friend, all would have been fine and good. The Empire is all about instability and threats. The fact that they pay lip service to order is what makes for what is called "irony". Every Imperial I have ever had has operated with the understanding that the house of cards could crash at any moment - someone in power could take a slight offense, or feel that I did under-contributed by 10 coins, or didn't fight enough - or fought too much. That's the way it goes. Going cuckoo over this on a public forum just makes you look bad. I've never met you, so I won't judge - it just seems tacky to complain about an act that didn't happen to one of your characters. Also, that remark about Imho being "more skilled" than Genofen was just a cheap shot. What does that have to do with anything?
1. You are complaining about someone else getting "screwed over" in the game, not even your own character (since you don't play anymore, right?).
