Well, the answer to number one is yes. Members of belligerent alliances are pretty much fair game, you don't have to wait until they attack you. That would be kind of stupid actually. |
Stupid .?. What exactly is stupid about not harming people that can do you no harm or cannot really retaliate .?.
Is a war to be used as an excuse for EVERYTHING .?.
Personally, when settling a new city recently, I asked for the permission of a nearby ABSA member, and took the trouble of getting the V level sov needed when, in fact, I could have actually sieged him and taken the plot in a much faster and efficient way or taken his town and save me even more trouble. But I did not, because I find attacking smaller player's towns repulsive and I do not use as an excuse that I have been attacked by people that have 40000+ population than me (ergo I cannot really counter-attack).
Also, when at some point it was raining blights at one of my cities I attacked the most possible culprit and when his sitter said that he didn't do it, I didn't ask for any "proof" and what-not, but I believed him because it was the right thing to do. Maybe it sounds "stupid" to you too, but later I discovered that he was telling the truth ... imagine if I had been "suspicious" and continued ... how would I have repaid the damage and how "nice" would my neighbour feel after the war was ended to be attacked only because he showed red in the map and someone else was being sneaky about his spellcasting .?.
If people want to hide behind their alliances and shout like kids "niah niah niah, but you did this and that" and have no shame of their OWN PERSONAL actions, this is not anyone's problem, but everyone should be reminded that the players and their alliances (leadership excluded) are not one and the same and you cannot hold one player accountable for whatever a whole alliance does and that you shouldn't attack others simply for their color on a map.
So, if some of you feel good about themselves about winning over a player that wasn't even there to use its own defenses, then what can I say other than suggesting you similar "entertaining" and "challenging" activities like : stealing candy from kids, playing basketball against people on wheelchairs and maybe stomping anthills in your back-yard.
Congratulations for your victory over a missing opponent :p

Coming to your side, if you are talking about Rhea/Yahweh/Denver, Denver was a spy in invictus, sat by H member Yahweh (who signed an IGM with the wrong name at the wrong time).

Well, I do not know about spies and what-not Anderrent, but imho a smart spy wouldn't break cover like that and a clever alliance would have planted said person aaaages ago and without any suspicious previous affiliations (preferably none).
But this is a game, not a James Bond film ;)
