It's the litle things that count, and besides, I have to say that VSB's assaults on broken hills stem from The Rogues disallowance to allow VSB to run their own RP project in redding, I mean really, there are other towns to turn into hellholes as well, and of course, you guys will perceive that they are the "bad guys" because of them "sabotaging" your RP project because your allies take the town they wish to turn into a "guarded" place. The saying is I believe "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth".
Let's take a real life situation between two children as an example.
One child wants a pretty red fire truck, the other has a red fire truck, but whenever the 1st child's parents buy him a red fire truck the 2nd child repeatedly destroys it, which of course leads to the 1st child trying to destroy the 2nd child's fire truck.
Simple enough?
