Actions against Myll of [Wave]

I think it’s time to little explain where I’m standing. When I  decided to start Illyriad the reason was partially game rules. I game here and then saw in alliance pages many times 10-tile rule there written. Myll kindly explained to me some history of that so called rule. Then checked some forums and talked about it with other people. It was clear there is no such rule in the game. Only rule is that I  can’t exodus to that area. BUT you CAN do it if you claim sovereignty V to that tile. So,

1. I was glad i found the alliance without that ”rule”. Reason: The whole game changes if that kind of rule exist and if devs wanted it to be like that there would be a change the game code too, naturally. That would mean there wouldn’t be any kind sov possibility to that area within game rules.
2. I’m not just a Myll’s naive child - he never pressed or told only his opinion – he took time to tell other side too. So I made a choice as a new player because I strongly agree with him.
3. I understand the benefits of ”rule”. It’s cheaper and peacefull way to play game with long term plans. I just desagree. I have that right, yes?
4. So, now we are coming to interesting part of this matter in my opinion. Some people say that’s a common rule and it’s convention/policy. I must say I can understand bridge conventions in bidding and playing – written and clear. But what makes 10-tile ”rule” to a convention? Some vets have years ago made that kind of ”rule” – is that a convention? How do you measure anything as a convention in this kind of play? Is it any more a convention (or has it ever been) if some big players decide to wipe out tiny new alliance which just want to play by the game rules developed by devs – not by players? Where is my right to make decisions about that matter? Are you really going to say it’s still a convention – after wiped all tiny newbies away? Do you wipe out ALL incoming new players who desagree your so called convention? You can see the paradox and you need to continue life here in Illyriad and give space people to play as devs wanted game to be played. AND don’t forget – there’s more newbies coming.
5. It seems to me that all this fuss about one little tile is only and excuse to get Myll. It also seems to me it’s only a cover for Bimoda to keep people out of the faction hub area.
6. And then asking … Sov V claiming takes time. I started to claim it and, Bimoda, you didn’t react to that at all. You could claim it back. Then I moved my city to that tile. It took almost two weeks after moving when you started to ask when I’m moving away from ”your” area – and didn’t ask nicely. So, you had almost three weeks time to do something. Why didn’t you react as soon as you saw that sov? You surely had to know there’s somebody coming because of that faction hub.
7. Tsunami members have been communicating about the matter with you. We just desagree. So your information about that whole situation is twisted and not all true. So, as a new tiny alliance Tsunami will be wiped out just because we think and it’s also very clear there is NO such rule? Really? And you still will be talking about common convention? In my books common means that people agree mostly. That’s not hardly the case with this ”rule”.
8. And finally – if I had asked Bimodas permission to move – wouldn’t I then agree and except ”10-tile rule”? That’s why I didn’t ask.
