I still say it wasn't abuse, and I had a logical, in-character justification for my corrupt tictacs. I still regret having that carpet swept out from under me just because some people whined on the Leadership boards.
That was me whining, and you should have known better. It is obvious that if you declare war with another tribunal you should be trying to kill them, and you shouldn't enter their city peacefully and also help them defend their city. I had already thought of doing the same and then came to the realization that it would be an abuse of the code to do so. Whether you have a logical in-character justification for it is completely besides the point: Cthugan had a logical, in-character justification for his rusty knife and he got deleted, not because it was wrong for his character to do so, but because it was -against the rules.- They are completely separate issues.
As for whether or not tribs are "boring," tribunals are incredible for both survivability and utility. You can accomplish a lot more in kingdom-to-kingdom PvP on a much more reliable basis as a tribunal member compared to most cabal members, and your viable options in PvP are typically much more open as well. Don't forget law immunity either.
