After a thousand public accusations, I too reply today.
Because every time we are publicly accused of everything.
First of all, I invite their gentlemen to consult the public chat on April 23, 2020 at 3:43 pm (+2 GMT), where the lord author of the topic says, textual words:
"votre esprit de merde commence sérieusement à me faire chier."
which translated into English sounds like this:
"your shitty mind is seriously starting to piss me off."
I believe such behavior is NOT tolerated.
The quoted phrase is an OFFENSE to my person, I ask that action be taken against the player Chtino. It is not possible that this will go unpunished in the eyes of all the other players.
Obviously I keep the screenshots of these offenses and save the page locally, for posterity, in case nobody reads in time the heavy offenses to my real person, not the game, offends me IRL. (*)

Let's move on to the game and the events:
Sicily is considerably weaker than Alessandria and Urbino, the facts speak for it, not the imagination.
We have more political points and more soldiers to mobilize in less time than he does.
The rules say that you cannot interfere in the event of war by blocking a player. But there were no wars going on.
At the time of the sale of two provinces (Salerno and Venosa), which were already owned by Urbino until a few days ago, there was NO war going on.
Alexandria was NOT in the middle of a war.
Urbino was NOT in the middle of a war.
Sicily was NOT in the middle of a war.
We created soldiers and hired mercenaries.
The military strength of Alessandria and Urbino is considerably higher than Sicily, DESPITE the higher firepower and NOT being at war with NOBODY, we have restored the ownership of two provinces from Alessandria to Urbino, provinces where I have invested money and
PP to help Urbino.
Changing the ownership the troops of Sicily that were on the territory of Salerno (until then owned by Alessandria) stopped, rightly, because the territory passed to Urbino.
Is it allowed to sell the lordships if there is NO war going on? Yup.
Did I block Sicily between two fires or did I penalize his eventual war? No, because he is not at war with anyone. It is NOT at war. Lands are lands NOT managed by players, so there is no declared war.
I don't know if Sicily was going to Benevento to take an unattended city or was simply moving the troops on MY territory, I don't know.
The treaties signed between Alessandria and Urbino are dated 11 August. (***)
I have the screenshot.
The war declared by Sicily is dated August 27th. (****)
I have the screenshot.
Other nonsense:
Sicily even asks for the assignment of 5 provinces:
"Benevento, Foggia, Campobasso, Termoli and Pescara"
But based on what?
Salerno and Venosa produced soldiers.
Capua, Naples, Cerignola have tons of mercenaries.
MAYBE and I say MAYBE we would have fought in Benevento, but in all the other cities his militiamen would not have been able to keep up with all the soldiers on horseback from Alessandria and Urbino.
He has militiamen, slow, we have both militiamen and many horses, much faster.
There are demands that NEVER could have made with his strength. (*****)
recapitulate:
Sicily, which is not at war with anyone, spends money and TRIES to get to unmanaged lands.
Alessandria and Urbino are not at war with anyone, they jointly sell two provinces where the first banal troop of Sicily is passing.
Can I sell the lands? Yes why? Because none of the actors on the pitch are at war, so no one has been blocked or has not been able to reach their land / home, a place of defense.
Sicily asked for the right of passage after the change of ownership? No. He just offended my person in public chat.
Sicily forgets to say that while he entered Salerno (lands, not cities), 4 platoons were directed to Benevento, Foggia and the other cities.
We spent a lot of money.
We sold land that we could sell because no act of war was going on.
We have received offenses against my real person.

edit: I add one thing, I could have sold the provinces at any moment, even immediately after seeing that he was moving men just outside his cities, it would have been legal both at that time and after,
just because there was no war going on. Nothing would have changed, he would have spent money unnecessarily, is it our fault? No, he misjudged the sending of troops in a period of non-war, he could declare war first and then try to take lands, now he complains. If he had declared war and then tried to take the lands NOT managed nobody would have said anything to him and perhaps he would have won, so instead he tried to be smart and now he is crying because two players have legally made a game move.
edit: 18:00 +2GMT
among other things:
at the time of the legal sale of the lands he had 650 men so composed:
400 mercenaries NOT within my territories (just look at the size of the army on the map to understand that they were the mercenaries)
150 soldiers (or 200)^ on my lands (useless for a siege with cities with stakes, because it takes at least 150 to start the siege, if you go down you lose the siege)
50 (or 100)^ more soldiers left several hours later from Calabria (at 17:57 always .2GMT are still under the city of Potenza)
^ total is 650 with soldiers + mercenaries
So he wouldn't have taken anything even if I hadn't legitimately sold my land.
