So you have confirmation that he discussed being unblacklisted when he met with pledge? Or are you speculating because his immediate response to an APD wasn't wasn't NO?
Vans used at fed for jump spots orobably wasn't an intended result of giving APD vans (wasn't there for that meeting) but, to be fair, the van is a piece of equipment that is being used, not an exploitation of a rule..
Balance comes when situations are unbalanced, civs mass log for feds, APD needs a counter... Feds are supposed to be hard and APD sided, your reward is literally 20mil in gold for 30 mins of work.......
We are well aware "gang life" isn't what it used to be, this is because the majority of people who taught cartels got tired of the repetitiveness of fighting cap and moved on..
I'll have you know buddy I have over 1K hours on civ when I was just a regular civ doing runs and everything anyone else does... Also, calls my gang bad, won't push arms, or war us..we're just playing to have fun, perhaps that's the approach you should take to the game... Keep your bias beef with me out of this topic, thanks...
