I don't join a Nes because I don't like how much power a GM has. They decide most of it for you, and when they are bias (which they almost always are), it creates an unfair result.
There is a reason that the first alliance based wars weren't until the 18th century. Alliances where rare in the medieval period.

Ilduce, can we just report further posts telling the game to not go forward? Its getting annoying.
And, is England getting Brown in the rest of the south?

Actually, believe it or not, Cull is being mildly helpful. He has given some ideas of slight rule changes

This game is ill-advised. It starts from a point with people who are only casually familiar (if at all) with the time period in question, and a misconception that the problem with IOT is its stats. The problem is that there is no accountability, which ilduce, is why GMs in NEses are so powerful. There has to be accountability and some measure of realism or else you have people who shall remain unnamed making bombastic claims on the time period, switching their allegiance five times in an hour, and other such things. In an NES, these players would either be eaten alive by the nations around them. Call it self-correction if you want, but in a game with accountability and some measure of realism, ignorance and apathy gives birth to isolation.

@Lord of Elves- There is always a balance. For instance, if you don't allow spam, at all, every little thing is banned then everyone will end up banned. If, on the other hand, you allow as much spam as people want you'll have 1,000 pages real fast.
Balance is the key.

You've been browsing the NESing forum as of late, and I advise you to take a look at the A Brave New World NESing series, which is the longest-lasting NES so far, to see why and how NESing manages to avoid spam while maintaining a fluent and game-beneficial presence.

I'm afraid it's already too late. Recent events in IOT V have sent doubting individuals to look into it.

No. No, God no. I was saying that this will fade into the conversation, considering that forum games is so frequented and bombarded with posts.
That does not mean you have to be an enabler.

I ask Lord of Elves to stop spamming the thread advertising his NES. This isn't a NES. This is a forum game. If you are going to complain, complain about the problems and how to fix them. And saying turn this into a NES doesn't cover it.
