Indeed, not everything gets reported and Titans don't go *looking* for things to punish. They're too busy being your fellow players. And yes, if Titans find other rule infractions, they will also punish them. As an admin, I have full access to what the Titans see and do, and that is exactly what happened here.

Crixus was reported for strategic secession. This means seceding in order to circumvent recruiting-in-capital-only restriction. It was also noticed he was sending incredibly detailed orders about exactly which actions to take, even telling the character who seceded the exact details of the realm's name, government et cetera. Telling other characters which estates to occupy. This is excessive and leaves no choice or involvement from players. BattleMaster is fundamentally a game of peer interaction, not a game of minmaxing. Coming from a ruler, with the responsibility to the game as a government member, and significant influence over the players of their realm, this is harassment.

Regarding other secessions, Titans cannot act on what they are not knowledgeable about. Titans also have the capability to look at more evidence than a player does, and may reach a different conclusion based upon what any single player may observe.

I would also note that Titans have, for many years, been quiet lenient and inclined towards warnings, with the exception of multicheaters who are instantly locked. There are remarkably few times the Titans move to act more significantly than private or public warnings, and when they do, it is usually because of either the significance of an infraction, a past history of infractions by players, holding a government position with more responsibility, or a long-time player who should know better, or some combination of the aforementioned.
