Golden Chrysanthemums are considered a lawful and legitimate movement in Liberty. That used to be the case even in .85 when there was no rephack and [GC] faction used to travel a lot there. Now with the new rephacks, Liberty lawful factions are automatically repped as hostile.
Simply put, I'm requesting for this to be reversed. I am pretty confident that it was an overlooking over the part of the dev team, and not an official change in the diplomacy between GC and Liberty.
