And Dwilight is third-worst, so... take it with a grain of salt.
Perhaps the best islands to play in are the most controversial ones?
At a smaller scale, I can make a CE thread and immediately get a bunch of haters proclaiming how godawful CE is. Can your realm inspire such hatred? Even if it wanted to?
Very few realms could, I'd imagine. Sanguis Astroism (not technically a realm) is starting to attract more detractors for the same basic reasons that CE gets them.
