  As the player of Madina's Judge, I'll agree that it didn't seem
entirely like powergaming. Your timing was worthy of setting up a long
standing feud, but unless you were coordinating the effort on a more OOC
basis than IC one, there would (or should) be enough universal IC
fallout from such oathbreaking to make up for it.

  It's an edge case though- if you had OOC contact with other
governments and agreements that they'd ignore the IC fallout your
actions should have had, then it would definitely cross the line, and I
can see the Titans wanting to be sure that people don't even come near
it.

Funny that you bring that up when I have heard rumors of a OOC agreement
made between several realms about how they are going to divide up the
island... That to me seems as much on the edge as anything that was
going on in this situation.  As far as I am aware there was no such
agreement made and the group of players would have had to deal with the
IC repercussions of their choices.

Because of the "power gaming warning" going on I'm guessing that the
GM's are perhaps a little over zealous at the moment and in this case it
is a shame they acted as they did because they just short ended what
would have been a lot of very good RP's.  Hopefully they will look more
into the next situation and see if there is a IC basis for the actions,
which there was tons of.
