I don't care. If your realm dies, then it dies. If the price of having 
your realm survive is trampling on the fun of players, turning new 
players away from the game or violating the Inalienable Rights, then 
your realm should rather die.

Realms in BattleMaster are a dime a dozen. They die and are born all the 
time. New players, on the other hand, are a real resource. Never forget 
that _everyone_ here, even the most die-hard, eternal hardcore 
ultra-extreme fan was a stupid newbie once. And nobody can say if that 
stupid newbie who just joined is not perhaps going to be the best and 
most valuable player ever one day.

If the choice is between a dead realm or a new player - I will always go 
with the new player. And if you really look at it, the choice will 
almost never be that extreme.
