This is the crux of what we disagree about. Winning wars and generating honor first-hand is certainly one way to go around winning the honor crown, but it's not the only way. You can also take it from the people who are winning these wars so simply can't defend themselves from you. If I said the same thing about land, it would sound silly. "If you want to win the land crown, fight wars and win them." Sure, of course that's an option and running the table and stacking up wins against good quality kingdoms sure is a lot more impressive than getting a quick farm war OOP and then using that leverage to win a crown 14 weeks later, but that's obviously not the only way good kingdoms can get things done.
If CR wants to raze out the top honor kingdoms to try and raise themselves up to the cherished triple crown, they're more than free to try and do it. I don't think it would be successful and I think they would find themselves getting a whole lot of unwanted attention (the kind that would result in kingdoms banding together to work against them), but I certainly wouldn't call it ****playing.
I think what this all boils down to is that some kingdoms think size is an unfair advantage. I agree that it is an advantage, but most definitely not an unfair one. It's an advantage they worked for all age and for good reason, because you're bigger and badder than most of the other kingdoms. Everyone starts at 400 acres. If you think being bigger puts kingdoms at a huge, unbeatable advantage, then why the hell aren't you growing? If it's because you can't grow and collect honor at the same time, then the kingdom that can grow and collect honor at the same time is better than you are. Period. If it's because you didn't want to grow, then you've made a strategical mistake when a bigger kingdom comes along and wants your resources.
Also, I would like to point out the age that Mythos won their honor crown, they had a much larger kingdom in Jerks trying to razekill them out to secure their crown. No one cried(Edit, well there was crying, but not this kind lol). No one started a gangbang. Mythos defended themselves, countered the razes, and won themselves an honor crown.
