Explain, my feline friend.
I have spent long hours and many days negotiating a truce between 2 large alliances big enough to devour mine in an online game. I finally get them to stop fighting.
Then one of my members suddenly wakes up and says "AH'M BUSTIN' OUT!" and promptly attacks two of his neighbors, one of whom is allied to a giant alliance considered friends by one of the other alliances I just convinced to cool off. Said alliance then spends the last day completely devouring his other target who happens to be between the two of them. Then a second guy does the same.
On a side note I got promoted to leader unexpectedly. wtf?
