Its realy nothing new that BCs are those that de facto controls where their alliances hit very often, and its not something new that a good BCs try make sure the targets alliance he sets up is under fire from other tags.
I dont realy see what is so confusing about it, unless that Forest claimed that he was the only one in charge of CT politics.

What's confusing about it is that it's all wrong. Sure, when you're galraiding, BCs have lots of freedom to do whatever, and a sneaky one can use that freedom to force their alliance politics in a certain direction. But once a BC decides to ptarget an alliance, participate in a joint targeting channel, or even just join a gangbang, your politicians need to be involved, or informed. Not because otherwise their precious snowflake egos will be hurt, but because such moves can have significant impact on the political landscape, which limits their freedom to make deals. At the very ****ing least, they should be
aware.
Since gm does not appear to be particularly upset or surprised, I can only conclude that Influence was right when he listed option 3: Forest and gm were working together all along ('in cahoots' is such a negative phrase), and gm's cry that people shouldn't try to "BS" him by approaching others in CT is itself BS.
