* JerkassHasAPoint: Nanaue's raiding of local city-states is inexcusable, especially when he says that they deserved it for being weak, but he has a very good point about how surface dwellers polluting and overfishing the ocean is having severe consequences on Atlantis and could be considered an attack on their sovereignty.
