Nope, all meaningless, soon RM will be enforcing Rhein laws there. .
Now to the deal, i would love to jump on the "QQ train" but comparing BD siege to the RHA's ones is iffy to say the least.
To begin with, RHA (and ye, someone pointed old-RHA) isnt same as in past, they are more reasonable. They producing high volume of RP and moving their plans according to it. Some low core pob sieges been done recently but where defenseless pobs that in some cases where between sword and the mace, would end smashed anyway.
The real problem i see with this siege is that basicly theres no RP about, and BD leader reasoning here "we havent been contacted" is, to say the least, poor. He just compared BD to house navy's. Well, those call pob owners plenty of times, offer ways to regularize the pob before even treatening with "pob demolition".
Heck, even RHA in old days offered option "pay or dai" but still.
As leader says RP will follow tho, what we can do is wait and see (and ye, buy BS's and NEMPS just in case money is there... somewhere)
Chill down everyone, sieges are part of game, and while *the siege system should be changed* this blame isnt to be trown on who using system, but on who let system like that for years, despite countless discussions about.
