First of all, I would like to apologise for my lack of activity. It is true that the previous year I wasn't very active due to RL issues and the fact that I spend most of 2013 dead. But just because you didn't see me in game, that does not mean that I wasn't there. I chose to sit inside Necrovion, I was consulting with Azull whenever it was possible for me and interact with my citizens as often as I could. I appreciate the fact of including me to this Mur and I feel honored, and I am sorry for those who think I shouldn't be part of it.
Back on topic now.
My apologies for choosing Intrigue, since there was the matter of those without a land leader and I saw someone that in my opinion deserves a title I decided to step forward. I will say that I chose her because I didn't want to first grant a title to people who already have one or more but choose someone who doesn't have much already. If you are still sceptic about it go meet her yourself, interact and then judge. I understand that Mur does not have the time to go around and check these people himself, which is why the responsibility falls in our hands. We are his eyes and ears for that.
To those of us given the authority to grant titles, I feel that it would be discriminating if we give titles based on our friendships and hates. Sure I interact mostly with Necrovion people but that does not mean that I do not watch the rest of the people in this game. Everybody should have their chance to get a title and if they work hard on it and make it real, I see no reason why we shouldn't give said title just because 'we do not like them'.
