I did. I bought a title, seceded the city and now have my own realm
(which probably won't survive, but let's say I didn't quite got hurt
by the feature).

I'm not so sure if you'll take me more seriously now, but the
discusison seems to be an "this is OOC knowledge" vs. "my char knows
this as well!".

You have obvious cases, where some char has been in a realm for 5
years, held 10 cities and then bought his 11th. And someone else said
"you bought it, you lamer! step down or you will be banned". Right.

On the other hand, you have the situation where Vinnie has been in the
realm for a few weeks, never held anything. After long discussion,
well-respected member Tom was supposed to get his city he held for so
long before, but what happens.. all of a sudden Vinnie has it! You
see, in this case "how did you get that city now?" is a question that
any character shoudl ask. And that's not OOC knowledge.

There is the middle, yes. But I don't buy James' point of view which
says that just because your clicking the button did succeed, now no
one can contest your position. Because that shit ain't the truth. If
you have influence ingame, give the right people the right shares of
your city, you can pull it off. If you haven't and you're this new
guy, you can't. That's how it is, and I don't see why that wouldn't be
how it should be.
