On the 13th of December Brotherhood Family requested to 'become part of Camelot' in the words of their FA head. We got control of their Econ and FA departments but they would keep a separate alliance in-game run by our appointed representative. After the deal was struck we reclaimed debts owed to them, gave out billions in grants, and pledged to tier and rebuild them alongside our normal members.
Unfortunately, we were deceived by BF just as we were by VE. Both alliances used us to get money and security while secretly planning to leave via treaty or merger.
Merging an extension of another alliance is bulk poaching and signing one is splintering so the alliances they contacted were wary and informed us. In each case, we have decided not to resort to military action and instead wished them the best.
People that are going to lie, steal, and fake loyalty are not worth anyone's time. Our members are here because they believe in our vision for the game and the story we're creating. The same is true of all the alliances we respect.
We're forgiving all BF's debts, returning their bank, relinquishing our roles in-game and on discord, and expelling all their members from our community and alliance. We thank them for their limited participation in the global but note that their plot to defect undermined our gratitude.
If any members of BF wish to rejoin Camelot they can do so individually after a thorough interview.
Tl;dr Common Camelot L. "You're a loser baby. A loser, but just maybe. If we eat sh#t together things will end up differently."
