You seem rather bitter over this whole war. Defectors are something that has always happened in war. Some people always put wealth over loyalty. I think some of the lords honestly think that aurvandil will be more fun to play with. I, for one, would be part of morek right now if I didn't value loyalty.
I have to admit my sense of loyalty is far less pragmatic, I guess I've always seen BM as a more sophisticated browser-game than many others where "fun" is for most of the players much more important than any other consideration. But it's true that playing the villain is very often much funnier than playing the righteous character.
It's not bitterness, but of course some things here have actually pissed me off. I don't like to lose in games, as everyone, but that's part of the game. What I have most criticised is the cocky and ignoble attitude I've seen very often (both IC and OOC) from a realm that puts so much emphasis in all the honourable thing. My bad anyway, characters are not alive but played by plain regular people and it's impossible to separate one from another completely.
Claiming the Lurias are inept is not the same as claiming that D'Hara is brillant.
I never claimed D'Hara had glorious awe-inspiring armies. I just repeatedly claimed that the Lurias' performances were pathetic.
That's definitely the way to get the opposition to Aurvandil divided and lose the war. The Greeks got united to fight the Persians, even Athenians and Spartans!
