But, then the conflict with Beggar's Hole and Geladyne started and we found ourselves involved because a newer member of Fairview found themselves jailed, being held for a week OOCly (Maybe more? Don't quote me.) and, stated to have been given only two options. Death, or character death by mind control. This not only felt unfair on an OOC level, but on an IC level, was just ridiculous. It was Geladyne, and at the time Geladyne was seemingly supposed to be the big bad though, so... OOCly, none of us really tried to argue with it. After all, the first Premier made quite a showing for Geladyne to start off. So, we ICly spent about 4 days, maybe a week at most, preparing a little event to break Mana out. We based our plan around the same plan Tana and their group so nicely pulled off but with more included. We didn't know about the attack on Beggar's Hole ICly or OOCly by the time the plans had been made, it was genuinely just a coincidence. We actually wanted to do it sooner, but time restrictions! 

I cant be assed to go check months-long logfiles in Geladyne castle chat, nor go through this entire wall of text, but mind control was a suggestion brought to ME, and I veto'd it on the basis of how easily abused something like that can be.

Character death was on the table - but with political meneuvering, It was taken off - With a deal made with Fairview to effectively hold the person in question so long as Fairview does not intervene in the conflict with Beggar's Hole - and Geladyne planned to return the individual in question once the conflict was resolved.

After that, it felt like a lot of people just oocly decided that Fairview was a lot like Beggar's Hole and some sort of antagonistic faction.

After this deal was brokered, The Breakout occured, and after that - It was quite difficult to not look at Fairview as an antagonistic force to Geladyne. The Premier's opinion on Fairview changed for the negative, Which only seemed to spiral with the tribunal. Even then, I effectively played with kids gloves, only letting Mother's character off with exile considering the crimes levied against them. From that point I had absolutely no horses in the race outside of playing the leader of Geladyne watching the events from a distance and playing a borderline psychotic Shaitan with an interest in the conflict.

  and someone who literally wasn't even a part of the group who broke Mana out because... Well, in my opinion, a community issue.

Can you please clarify what you mean by this?
