Let us begin with the number everyone has repeated incorrectly, namely the alliance ledger’s count of sworn banners; yesterday I swore my sword to [SITH], and the ledger still placed my keep under its former arrangement. A fine invention, if your goal is to make arithmetic betray you politely.
You should not trust a glowing panel merely because it updates faster than a clerk; the ledger recorded the oath, but left the alliance entry unchanged, so a player reading only one column would make a decision on false ground. It is rather like an explorer who reached the wrong shore—
I have barely met the scitech crowd, and already their convenient records are being treated as authority instead of evidence; inspect the action, not the label, especially when an alliance walks out and the keep remains listed behind. The fault was not mysterious, only unchallenged.
