OK and all the KD's that waved got rocked, as they should. I do not recall any statement that this game is all about making it easy to crown. Inso has done nothing but lose and lose all age. Same with psych ward. If this is a case of "alliances" taking advantage of game mechanics, I would submit that no game mechanic can withstand alliance manipulation. But to alter a mechanic that works for 354 kingdoms because it happens to have worked out badly for 2 kingdoms is a screwed up policy.

Kingdoms in the top like to boast that most of the game is all about diplomacy at the top. Well, it looks like HoH and Rage had diplomacy failures that cost them a little. Obviously not too much as they are #1 and #2.

so to review:

Your two examples of small KD's waving up to interefere with crowning were done against the kingdoms that are ranked #1 and #2. Your other example was a larger KD picking a fight with a smaller KD and then getting caught and they are still in the top 4 with something of a shot of crowning but for their own political affiliations that prevent them from competing with #1 and #2.

Nope, I stand by my statement that this is a self created problem or not a problem at all.
