Indeed, after double checking I came to conclusion that the polishing

maybe the polishing fell off. Did you look on the floor for it?

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.
