In my short time here, I’ve seen repetitively harsh punishments for things that I would imagine reasonable adults would be able to work through. It seems as though this HO has a scorched earth policy when it comes to “justice” though, which seems more than a bit heavy-handed. I read Kolbe’s article before I did my mock draft. I got two answers right. It helped me no more or no less than my own wits did. Having not known when draft discussions began, I viewed it as opinion, as I do all media. I understand rules are built to be followed, but an empire does no favors to itself by razing cities to the ground.
I have literally been saying this since my first week in the league...in multiple media posts. And I've seen time and time again instances like this that make me lose faith in the decisions that HO makes, at least regarding punishments. And I think that there are likely others that feel the same way.
This is a great example because the implication is so obvious and yet HO did it anyway:

It's really unfortunate too because I think each of the members individually are just fine people, likeable even.
At the same time, I'll highlight this bc it is a stupid comment. HO does not discriminate with it's poor judgement in dealing punishments:
