But no, seriously. There's some very, very... "lively" debates going on in Morek currently. Buuuut. That's all I say for now.
My immediate reaction:

I lol'd. :D
Still better than Barca was for most of last year.
Well that was short lived, no talking in the library!
Well since we are exiled, we can't be banned now. I knew this was coming so turned my 3k bonds into gold before provoking Evira 8)
We could use a few capable fellows down south.

South is awful. I have another character with 3k gold there...
Do you? I thought Dwilight was 1 character/player.
I didn't get a chance to cash my bonds, so half my funds are stuck in bonds. That leaves me only 1500 or so in gold. :p

Lucky, all I have is 280 gold. o-o
Also, party time in the capital :3
Yeah, I'm not sure why Eveira decided on the triple exile move, especially when one of the three already announced that they were leaving.

Because it creates conflict. Morek was boring before this, now there's tension.

"You can't quit, I'm firing you!"
VICTORY! Evira is resigning!
Why? Weren't the loyalists winning?
I think the "loyalists" consisted of Eveira and Helm.
Every time I see someone (usually auto) pauses, I go "Who the hell was that anyway?".

Not to step on any toes, but this was a long time coming ;) You think it's boring just being a noble or a lord within the Morek Empire? It's also boring being the ruler...
Also, it's Eviera ;)
Wow, this went beyond all my expectations. A secession of Foxwind Duchy has been declared by Eviera, removing the eastern regions of Morek from the Empire. Developments to follow soon.
Woohoo! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

Did I do good, daddy? :P
But I am glad to see this is actually firing people up a bit. Mission accomplished.
Now it is time to break up the empire! YAHOO!
Great timing, Morek.
Looks like Luria is about to turn into Morek now and all the fun will relocate to the north.
The best part is this secession came as a total surprise! Go Morek Civil War!
"Well, damn. Now what am I going to do with the dwarf?"
Not a phrase I thought I would ever need in Battlemaster...

This was our evil plan all along. 8)

In the face of a rebellion Morek's ruler steps down and secedes.
During subsequent days old Morek nobles log in and switch allegiance to the new realm.
In a few weeks we will have the old Morek with all its cities and nobles intact but under a new name.
Somewhere inbetween those cities there will be a few townslands and rural provinces held by Lurian/Asylonian spies still named Morek.
Am I missing something or was it the most complicated and over the top way to deal with a rebellion I've ever seen? :D
Who cares about the new realm. We are planning to create more. The new realm is led by Eviera anyway. It will just be a boring dead realm nobody really cares about. ;)
Sounds good. You need to start a new thing too. New name, new flag, all that stuff.

Oh, it's going to be so fun proving you wrong :)
Never doubt the power of renewed spark, sense of purpose, and dozens of ounces of Red Bull.

You're missing something :) A lot of something.
Let's see, especially considering one of the members of said perceived rebellion is now a member of the new realm? Oh my, the plot thickens like properly crafted beef stew!

It wasn't a rebellion. Only a couple people were in the underground. I personally was not one of them. I was merely suspected of being in the underground.
Basically the dissenters were exiled. When the exiled nobles refused to leave, the ruler had basically lost at that point. Sge stepped down at that point and and seceded because the shock of our dissent forced her to reevaluate the situation.

More accurate, but still not entirely correct :)

I think the perception is a bit more accurate to the ones physically experiencing or causing these events ;)
A common misconception. :P

The fact is, this was planned long ago to make things more interesting, the only change to the original plan was exiling the three "dissenters". So really, the secession had absolutely nothing to do with the exiles.

That is beyond stupid. The reality of any event, when known and believed by only a few, is of far less importance then the perception of the majority. In all events perceptions are obviously biased, what is important is what is the perception of those that have influence regarding the eventual outcomes. By carrying out the two events in such rapid succession all that has occurred is that Eviera simply appears as a petulant and weak ruler. The OOC reasoning and the previous time land of the events don't change the IG perception.
y u butthurt, mate?
Well, far be it from me for finally tossing a monkey wrench into the system of monotony that has become Dwilight in an effort to make things more interesting. I think the majority of players would agree that this now makes Dwilight more fun than what equates to turning Microsoft Excel into a game of sorts.
As well, if I am not mistaken, somewhere it is written that one of the objectives of those in positions of power is to make the game interesting, not sit on their hind quarters collecting gold. Just saying.
Again, learn to separate IC and OOC. OOC this might be a great thing for Dwilight. That is totally different from arguing against the legitimate IC perceptions of the actions which are separate to OOC rationales.

The IC was obviously missed by you. Eviera stated to SA that SA has become a toxic part of Dwilight and Morek, creating and promoting apathy and turning away potential new members of the realm.
You can try to quantify it anyway you like, but you are literally assuming the worst with a fractional sum of the information. It is frustrating.
Besides the fact that this "IC trumps OOC" crap is what lead to the current situation in the first place. It's just a convenient cop-out thrown around by players who don't want to take the effort of making something interesting happen.
