There's no honor in that. Even if I didn't tell you, you'd still have to confront the truth sooner or later. If SWF members are still raiding people, it won't matter if Klemens made it seem like we've reformed if we haven't. I'd rather be honest and burst your bubble rather than have it bite you in the ass. If our alliance wants to have a better reputation, then "pretending that we're good" is nothing close to righteous. If klemens wouldn't try to control and force us to govern according to his standards, (i.e. you must have an X amount of soldiers or you're going to be demoted to applicant) and instead made harsh punishments for raiders (i.e you're going to be demoted to applicant if you decide to raid someone), then I wouldn't have a problem with him trying to save our face. But honesty is what is needed. You were going to put your faith in an alliance that hadn't actually apologized, but rather, only one member apologizing. That would be a bad idea.
