Secondly he was a false leader of the Zormite nation, there was a communications barrier between the two states. The Zormite Empire thought that the Zormite colony fell and vice versa. So the colony would be annexed back into the Empire with the Emperor selecting a Viceroy or whatever.
And that communications barrier, I'm guessing, was being on different servers and having different memberships. Trying to keep the storylines of two different servers leads to a lot of metagaming.

To be fair, when the pirates sent a fleet to attack Bel'la with the Zormite Empire, we failed to see the massive armada that arrived to storm the Zormite Island. You have a point, though, Zurkiba, that at some point you have to let the game mechanics reflect the RP...

...but again if Debaglio's non-existent army can't be RPed into existence (through mere force of RP), how can lvl 8 translate into an untouchable slayer of Samurai and bomy-conqueror (or a lack of boats into the greatest armada the world has ever seen)? Or are you referring to the RP itself and the non-precedent of this army?

P.S. Got me really excited hoping to see the armada, too. Woulda only taken 53 boards per ship to get some good game mechanics to back up that RP.
