Did the Summerdale players even get a link to the referendum? My understanding was it was a Libero Empire referendum that failed to end when the region was TO'd. It doesn't take a player of 4 years to work out that a vote from the OLD realm shouldn't determine the Lord of a captured region.
If that was the case what exactly could the players of Summerdale do to prevent this outcome?
It was a Libero Empire referendum. From what I've gathered, the lord was captured and escaped, which made him lose his position, and a referendum for the lordship started. The election ended and gave him the lordship -after- the takeover was finished. So no, Summerdale never saw the election, and the election should have been canceled after the TO was finished.
Other than not drop 3.5k cs of troops into a region which they just took over and which had a lord of unknown trustworthiness? Nothing.
What? How would that have prevented the bug from happening? And how were we supposed to know he had the buttons available to a lord? As far as we knew, it was just an error on the region page.
