What I liked best from the proposal was that we could compete for objectives, even against other realms. So if Velax dies, absconds, or implodes, we can chose something like: The first to capture Sasrhas and hold it for one week wins. Or in between realms such as: Arcaea must defend and hold Nocaneb for a consecutive three weeks, whereas Sorraine and Coralynth must take Nocaneb and hold it for one week. Maybe: Arcaea's objective is Arempos and Soniel, Sorraine's is Athios and Attlel, and Coralynth's is Hosiel and Apasur. (Evidently post-Ohnar West conquest.)
This kind of stuff excites me because it adds a new layer to Empire realms at which intrigue, battles, and RP's can be made from. Wars - since this is not SMA - can have rules of engagement, clauses, and a code of conduct. It can also have set objectives (as it should be in SMA anyways, few wars were for total conquest) and set times.
I say, why not?
