Did not follow top much a long time ago, today they hardly seems worth to mention since so much shady stuff is going on, if you don't intend to honor your deals dont make them in the first place.

The least deserved crown last age was the crown given to the dude in 5:12 when he got elected, warring for his own greed dropping players that got pk'ed every war, then proceeding to canibalize his former kingdom fellors that left and finally take part in dealbreaking between top kingdoms counts pretty much against you in my book.

The next important crown will be when someone mannage to get over 50 ww points without friendly warring. Can't say I'm in the race, I'll give the Dryad one a go again from a micro kingdom, that is the best I can do until I get myself back on track in real life.
