You're right.

I amend that to:
If you are not both trying to maximize YOUR SCORE and minimize OPPONENT SCORE based on influence from a member of an alliance other than your own, you are violating T7/T8.


You're also right that it's a LOT more complicated than the formula I posted. The simplification was to explain the general issue, not to explain EVERY nuance.
