If an Invasion has been pending for more than 48 hours, and its Attack Strength is greater than or equal to its Defence Strength, it may be Enacted by any Admin. The Pope’s Loyalty is changed to that of the Invading Power. If an Invasion has been pending for more than 48 hours, and cannot be Enacted, it may be Failed by any Admin.

It is my opinion that the story post “Invasion by Spain” has been resolved incorrectly, as the final vote was placed >48 hours after the post was made. At 48 hours, the attack strength was 4 (Brendan) + 1 (Kevan) + 5 (Pope is not a Roman) = 10. Defense Strength: 5 (delcooper11) x 2 (Captain General of the Church) + 8 (Thrawn, per rule Invasion) = 18.

The invasion rule is subject to exploitation by alliances with an admin (i.e. “Hey Admin, don’t admin my invasion post until it’s gotten enough votes to succeed.”)

If enacted, this CjF shall change the following in rule Invasion:

If an Invasion has been pending for more than 48 hours, and its Attack Strength is greater than or equal to its Defence Strength, it may be Enacted by any Admin. The Pope’s Loyalty is changed to that of the Invading Power. If an Invasion has been pending for more than 48 hours, and cannot be Enacted, it may be Failed by any Admin.

to read:

If an Invasion has been pending for more than 48 hours, and its Attack Strength is greater than or equal to its Defence Strength, the invasion has succeeded and shall be enacted by an any Admin. The Pope’s Loyalty is changed to that of the Invading Power. If an Invasion has been pending for more than 48 hours, and its Defence strength is greater than its Attack Strength, the invasion has failed and it shall be Failed by any Admin.
