No doubt - it sucks. I wouldn't have been very happy if the FEI frost came from the north, I can tell you. But at least this way you've got a chance to push north and carve out some new territory for yourselves rather than "BAM, you're done; now find a different island".
To the point that someone was making about us all being people, and thus having different opinions, I would much prefer to just have everything wiped clean and start anew than have a long drawn out misery.
