Well, not dropping the militia would mean you'd have those troops instead of us . . . and while it might have just been a text bug or something, if it says the lord is someone . . . well, probably a good idea to check.
Just to reiterate... he wasnt the Lord when the militia was dropped... all this "it's your own fault for dropping militia" talk is ridiculous. it was only a few turns later his name popped onto it.
As for ingame roleplay of the bug...he wrote us an IC message when we threw him out saying he'd be back. He was well aware he'd been thrown out both from an IC and OOC perspective. Reverting the region back makes no IC sense alongside this.
