I think another agravating problem we see in Averoth is Tom´s message accusing people of cheating, because the realm has 50+ nobles and only two regions.
That's not why he sent the message.
And also how a noble was deported from Averoth because his name was not helping the Medieval atmosfere, only after he was elected judge of the realm (and it seems that when he was a regular noble his name wasn´t a problem).
That happened when it did because new Titans were named, and were able to act on the problem. It had nothing to do with him being the Judge.
All this led to a conclusion about the GM´s or Titans or whomever is playing against Averoth is using OOC tools to win the war.
No, that conclusion was drawn long before, by people determined to see everyone at fault but themselves. People who believe that it's their right to exploit any possible loophole to get ahead, just because they're a small realm facing a behemoth.
It doesn't work that way.
