The Riot alliance pulled and dropped the Vulak guards onto us initially, presumably trying to take advantage of the fact intentional trains are allowed without punishment at the Vulak four-way because it's considered to be sitting on the tracks:

That doesn't justify the stupid and inexcusable actions of one member wearing an <Aftermath> tag who DA'd and ran the Vulak guard train out of our camp and toward Riot's in an act of frustration.
As soon as Riot reached out and showed me what happened I conceded Vulak. We did not engage another target until 51 minutes after our last FTE (which was itself accidental; a member had gone LD hours earlier due to a storm, and logged back in on top of a respawn). We also waited for 30 minutes* after we conceded before engaging another target to give other guilds present a chance to recover and engage, even though not required by the rules.
At the end of the day we were let down by a member wearing our tag who reacted to a situation in the stupidest way possible. We immediately conceded Vulak and the member in question was guild kicked a number of days ago; before we were made aware of a petition or threat of raid suspension.
It's a shame the petition was still pursued, but it is what it is.
Enjoy the week of fun. See you guys next cycle

*It was actually 29 minutes because I managed to mistime it and call it a minute early.
