Your move fails, because you didn't correctly represent the gamesate.

Your stone at G3 should die - it now constitutes a surrounded Dragon, 
as every piece in it belongs either to you or your Ally the Baron, but 
none of the pieces around it are owned by a mutual ally of the two of 
you (since Glotmorf and BvS aren't allied). In order for you to ally 
with the Baron without losing anything, Glotmorf has to do it first.

Does anyone else like the old system more? It was more counterintuitive 
in most cases, but it had a certain charm... (for the benefit of new 
people/forgetful old people, the old system was the one where during 
your turn, a 'dragon' was a set of stones owned by you and your allies, 
regardless of whether your allies were allied to each other; it was 
canned because it was thought to be too confusing, since a given board 
would behave differently depending on who was moving)
