I actually don't like the rule, but I don't think that's relevant... If they want to change it, I don't have a problem with that, if it's changed after they are properly dealt with for breaking the rules.
Cyneheard - the thing is they DID realize it was a rules problem within an hour or two of it happening... Check the post by Jabah in their thread. They ignored it, and when it finally was enforced, two days had gone by.
All that said and for all my frustrations with India right now (Speaker's childishness in particular), I do understand their argument that it had little impact on the game itself - meaning the same effect would've been achieved by capturing and then gifting the city. I think India would find themselves with a lot more sympathy if they would just see the other side's argument for the first time this game.
