Wow, I find this incredibly irritating. I wish random windfalls would send me an extra 100 gems. It'd be different if Atlantis and whatever nation Sensori was playing were allied against some nation, but to just randomly give them out because they "asked for them first"?
I do (and did) with my gems what I want, especially now that I'm being put six feet under. I gave the same amount of gems to Yomi, so my gems didn't ALL go to one nation. What they do with them now is their business. When I posted the half/half thing I had far less gems and didn't quite expect to have as many of them as I ended up having, but a promise is a promise. I said I'd give them my gems fifty-fifty, and I did. Simple as that.

I hate it a lot more when people just die silently and give stuff to others under the counter, so that you might ever find out it even happened is if the guy who received things says so. But apparently others like it that way. At least now I know to just keep my mouth shut next time. Ignorance is bliss!

Please. Just die with your gems instead of unbalancing the game for the rest of us. Some of us don't have benefactors to just send us tons of gems.
Hey, Helheim taking over my capital is also "unbalancing", and Agartha eating up the other half (which was oddly gem site rich, I might add) is just as much "unbalancing". They got one fortress per, gem sites and so on. Helheim even got my capital completely intact. I think spreading the "unbalance" caused by my death to four nations instead of just two is actually a good thing. And hundred random gems (of which most were air gems, by the way) isn't quite as unbalancing in the long run than having a bunch more (gem rich) provinces than you would otherwise have because you ate up someone.

You see it as unbalancing (well, duh, I quite directly helped your enemy, of course you'll see it as a bad thing). I see it as the following: At the very least my short presence will be felt in the game even after my nation's death, and not only in the form of a much stronger Helheim. And maybe Agartha.
