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.
-You have some funny ideas, Wonko. I'm nowhere /near/ there, so his allying with me changes nothing in that area. And I'm sure we'd all appreciate it is you'd stop trying to raise false Dragons... sorry, been sitting on that one since the game started. Seriously, though. Thanks to Glotmorf's stone at G2, that Dragon is a big L-shape with a metric assload of Liberties. If I'm wrong, kindly explain how. And explain what I have to do with it.-

A dragon is defined as a set of stones and a group of allies s.t. all the stones in the set are adjacent to each other, all the stones in the set are owned by members of the allied group, and no stones adjacent to the set were owned by a mutual ally of those allies. Well, Rob's stone at G3, now that he has an ally which Glotmorf doesn't, is a set of stones s.t. all the stones in the set are adjacent to each other, all the stones in the set are owned by members of the group of you and him, and there are no adjacent stones owned by mutual allies of you and him; the set also has no adjacent empty locations, and therefore no liberties; so it gets captured.
