If a dutchy leaves a realm to create a new realm and then fails, can it rejoin the mother-realm?

You can not fail in creating a realm. You click a button and its done, from then on you are an independent realm and terms like "mother-realm" don't have a game-mechanics meaning anymore.

thats called kaap de goede hoop or indonesia, the word is duchy, not dutchy.
and no indonesia can't rejoin us any more! puh! they had there chance!
A dutchy is either a citizen of the netherlands or a doobie, a J, a spliff or a reefer.
Formerly playing the Nosferatus and Bhrantan Family.
Currently playing the Polytus Family in: Gotland, Madina, Astrum, Outer Tilog

i think what he meant is... what if they fail to create a viable realm out of their secession. obviously the realm is still there. how to rejoin the old realm without all abandoning the new one and letting the capital go rogue/TO'ed/whatever.

Um...actually, I think you've just described exactly how to rejoin the old realm.

Duchy Changes Allegiance   (2 hours, 19 minutes ago)
message to Everyone on Dwilight
the Maddening Star has changed its allegiance with all its regions to the realm of Astrum. The duchy used to belong to Kabrinskia.

Kabrinskia just merged with Astrum.

I am NOT ok with that.

vvv I know, just whining in general. Makes me feel better because I'm exactly that kind of person. XD

Use the in-game options to complain. Forum complaints will NOT lead to any actions.

No, it isn't.

I would first like to say that I am on the fence with this one. First off, the player of Allison is a very experienced player who I've never seen use any kind of exploit. So I for one think this was probably a mistake on their part. That being said, they really should have paid attention to the Magistrates case regarding the realm merger bug.

Why should we expect that? Should we expect even people who don't use the forums to be aware of Magistrate cases? If this bug isn't going to be fixed quickly, then a message needs to be put into the in-game secession page stating that there is a bug and this action is not allowed under certain circumstances.

I will accede to the point you have made, that is true and should be fixed.

Why has the bug not been fixed? When Solaria did it, it should have been clear that this undesireable behavior was possible.
