Vellos admitted on the forums that his purpose behind getting the northern realms to declare war was so that the peasants of Aurvandils regions would revolt.
That to me is gaming the system.
We addressed this issue at the time, and there were several other factors at play, including comical tax rates, a lack of courtier/diplo work, and a bug that wasn't evident until Aurvandil complained loudly enough. Then it was fixed. Please don't rewrite history when you dredge things up.
