6) Will other large guild start to do the same? Probably.
No. Other large guilds will proxy vote smaller ones that agree to their "accord." Nihimon already admitted it prior and has since edited that post. But Cyclops Face saw, as well as plenty of others. That point is still unclear. Can Nihimon come in an unequivocally say that Veil has not given any votes to any other settlement in the Accord? Because before it seemed like he admitted it and then edited it denying everything, then he edited it again for a further explanation. That would be great to get some clarity on that. It's funny because I'm a free agent and don't have a horse in this game, but I've been watching this for awhile. Cyclops Face frowns.
All this has done is moved everything into the shadows. Misdirection is key and those paying attention know exactly what that ultimately means.
