i think you're either purposely ignoring or forgetting important details, such as individual character motivations and the chain of events. i'm not going to go over every point but the war begun with osrona declaring that they'd conquer theria/slay garljing (following the myll/ilburg stuff), and it continued to escalate from there. the first 2v1 was myll/osrona vs theria, and you personally worked to make peace with ilburg along with myll, to avoid a 2v2... despite your original terms being 'theria needs to break up with ilburg'. then occultists, then witches
...which is fine, but don't act like you're on some kind of pedestal when you clearly tried your best to win (ICly). which is also okay?
the mistake osrona probably made was pulling out before it was all over, and initiating a ceasefire that to many seemed somewhat random. you had your opportunity to remove theria from the picture and lost it, despite clearly trying very hard to do so to begin with by working with every single faction in the game
so, characters and nations can react to circumstance. if theria wants to form a temporary alliance with myllenoris because they had been speaking behind the scenes before the war even begun-- while the newly anointed alexander was purposely ignoring theria's calls-- that's okay, and it's what happened. there's an element of politics to the game and to say that "no war should ever be more than a 1v1" is a poor solution to imo something that wasn't even really a problem, because the war was organic and had the kinds of twists and turns that didn't 'hurt' the story
idk, a lot of what you're saying just seems ignorant or so off the ball to me that it's difficult to address. i'd say you need to reevaluate the story and what occurred before making those kinds of claims. what you're suggesting would, if anything, just make things really boring and awkward. and i'm not implying that you played your character badly at all, or did anything wrong OOCly. just that your complaints are somewhat invalid and far from the source of the problem - which is moreso that keeping an intense tempo like that going indefinitely isn't possible as time rolls on
