How did Deity maintain his spotless rep after attacking finbar on Onion Island?
Can someone remind me of that? Wouldn't he have had a less than spotless rep after that?

Yes, indeed. Again. It's the Australian 9/11. In fact, we're looking for allies to mount a War Against Supreme & Spotless!

Oh yes - whenever I open that save the pitiful wailing of the residents of Onion Island always brings a tear to my eye.

They had a ceremony only the other day where they cleared away the last of the debris. A flag-draped onion was ceremonially carried away on a stretcher.

Yep. North Korea, Iraq, Iran and Finbarville. Be afraid, Graag, be very afraid. The other three are working on weapons of mass destruction, I'm researching The Wheel.

Deity has nothing to worry about, finbar was at fault for his continued alliance with that war monger Makeo, Onion Isle was actually part of Deities lands and the native villages actually spoke deitian until finbar forced them to eat raw onions if the use their native tongue.

yes hydey was alllied to Deity but that has not clouded my judgement in any way.

Cat got your tongue oh parroted one? Your rep in that screenshot looks decidedly spotted if you ask me

There it is folks - Deity's less than spotless reputation hovering over Onion Island, the scene of one of his greatest spottings

That's how we felt too - we all looked up to Deity's spotless reputation and now we feel badly let down

I won't settle for anything less than an apology to the Stolen Generation of onions. Then, we can start talking about compensation. Oh, and Eggplant Island will have to regenerate. I char-grilled the lot of 'em.

Yup. And, thankfully for our noses, he didn't gobble up Baked Beans and Cabbage.

BTW, he's gone strangely quiet after the posting of his reputation, hasn't he.

Yes, strangely so

The best part is I saved that screenshot and can post it whenever spotlessness again rears its ugly head.

In fact, it could be said that Deity knows his onions. Albethem purloined. Which isn't, obviously, to be confused with the pearl onion.
