As most of you know, chart shaping mostly takes place when the end of an Age is in sight. Kingdoms that have nothing left to play for, hand over their acres to a befriended kingdom that has at least a shot at winning something. In some cases, minor chart shaping takes place mid-age, when warring tier kingdoms tend to outgrow the easy targets and offer landdrops to kingdoms that play for the Land crown.
It's rarely ever that a kingdom just farms out so early in the Age, like "Current kingdom is hmmmm (X:XX)" did to "Happy b day zara (Y:YY)", better known as Cromulent Republic (Y:YY). The firstmentioned kingdom won their first war of the age which ofcourse is quite the accomplishment. To celebrate this, they decided to opt for LAND BONUS and throw a farming party to which only "Happy b day zara (Y:YY)" was invited.
As most Utopians are always ready to party, I must ask why "Current kingdom is hmmmm (X:XX)", led by XRONOSSCHOTY of province Melchior, did not invite others to this very entertaining party.
Perhaps the two kingdoms are dating and decided it was time for an intimate rendez-vous, in which case CR wasn't the one getting ****ed. Could it be that friends-of-old decided it was time to grow their crops elsewhere and let their previous kingdom do the reaping; perhaps yet another black-op mindspin (coined) from the side of Cromulent Republic. The latter makes one wonder ... is that is truly in the spirit of the game?
