Okay, let me try to explain what Crippler was saying.
If ICD hits you with country A. You have the right to retal country A with any country you have that's in the same tag/alliance, or with the original country if you're untagged. (within 72 hours)
If you hit a different ICD country (country B), that's not a retal, but a landgrab. It's not that you're not allowed to do this, but that it isn't considered a retal, but rather a new case. So if that happens, then you're still entitled to retal country A, but ICD would be entitled to hit the country you used to hit country B.
Crippler wasn't (at least I don't believe he was) making a threat about you land-grabbing them. He WAS saying (again, I believe, anyway) that you can't grab whoever you want and consider it a retal, so if your hits on ICD were meant to be retals, and they were just on random countries, you're gonna get yourself in trouble.
Ultimately, this is a clan/alliance server. We're fairly kind to individual players, but the big clans still hold power. You might think it's unfair that a 200 country alliance can push you around, but I would counter with: None of the big clans care if you think it's unfair. The big clans could easily just farm every one-man tag out of the game, but we don't because we know it'd be a fluff move. But trying to take advantage and think you're on equal terms takes away any purpose of playing in an alliance, and then we've basically just turned FFA into a 16-country per person primary server, which was not the intention. Don't like it? Join an alliance or recruit people and make one.
(I say this as someone who is not in any way affiliated with ICD)
