Either way I'll start respecting these one-day flies more when they've repeated their feat and not disbanded after an age or two.
Exception to this may be Dreams, who achieved a crowning age, but were basically set up as a reunion kingdom anyways and actually had to work for their crown through a GB from some respectful and active ABS kingdoms. Rage has my respect for the run that they had, regardless of who played there and how they did it. They were one of the dominating kingdoms around for a long while. Same with Sanctuary.
So why are these kingdoms even worth discussing?
