That's not what I'd expect from Jason and Bizcut. Jim, Nanao, and Harlequin, sure. That's exactly what I'd expect them to do. But not Jason and Bizcut. They tend to play fair and with an open hand. If I had to guess, I'd say they're really honestly trying to reconcile, etc.
That would be nice. When I was an officer in AN, I was always pushing for combat games with allies and neutrals. Most of our HC was all for it, but the other groups never assented, accept for one time against Sparta (in which we wiped the floor with them).
We can just tell them if they're violating the reg. Give them a brief period to comply. If they don't, well, everyone knows what is done to those who break rules.
