I have received no contact nor compensation from VALAR so we have continued as planned and promised.

Edit: FYI - since the original compensation offer was rejected a new offer needs to be negotiated.

"The community (not 'might makes right') must decide who has the rights over an inactive" 
Well, I strongly believe that inactive or not, a player belong to his alliance. Even if he's suspended. Unless he has been kiked or have left before being suspended... 

Good show everyone :)

Belargyle, wonderful insight!  This is the first time someone has pointed this out.

Why is there a 10 square rule?  Because people have gone to war to establish said rule.

Why aren't smaller players attacked for fun?  Because people have gone to war to establish the atmosphere that prevents this.  (which both Valar and Harmless are a part of as far as I know)

Why does this silly little world have any rules at all?  Someone mentioned the word 'sandbox'.  Doesn't this imply a free for all, that anyone can do anything they like?  And yet there are alliances in here that have fought to bring order to the chaos (many from what I can tell, not just Valar and Harmless).

Do both valar and harmless fight for order?  I know little of their pasts, but from this argument it would seem as such.

As it stands, if this were about the city, wouldn't Harmless be aggressively attacking other suspended cities just for the fun of it?  I remember the post about a player 'amrouth' who passed away and there was a dispute over those cities.  Did the harmless go attack and raze any of those?  (please tell me, I really don't know.  sorry for my ignorance on this matter.)  I truly think this whole thread is over the distance.
---

This thread and the actions taken are defining the future of the game.  This schism is laying the groundwork for a new frontier of gameplay.  to boldly go where......(scratch that last bit)

The community (not 'might makes right') must decide who has the rights over an inactive.  And still, these rights should not be contradictory and infringe on the rights of another player (one that is active and three squares away). 

This is where the heart of the issue is.  This outcome will determine the future of the game.

Aarrr! Thar be no better friend than making friends with a pirate!

I am proud to be an alumna of T?, and if any established player attacks a T? player (newbs sometimes make mistakes and LadyLuvs and her staff handle those elegantly with diplomatic means), then I would request that H? give me the privilege of razing one of that player's cities myself.

LTH distracts from the true point, which is that Malpherion is attacking Taelin's cities after compensation has been made by Valar.  H? will probably respond that they get to be the sole arbiters of how they respond to an "offense" against their player, blah, blah, blah.

In the past, H? has held other alliances, notably Valar, responsible for how that alliance treats people who are not in H?  For H? to claim that it is now above such accountability is not only disingenuous but also foolish.

Malpherion can't recall the attacks that are already underway.  Hopefully Taelin will have the good sense to move his defending troops out of the way.  I will be delighted to make Taelin whole for any resources that are stolen by this misadventure.  And then we can all move on with our lives.

29 pages and we still didn't hear Malpherion. Instead wasting time here, this quiet guy decided to visit Taelin's cities with his armies. I wonder what H? leadership think about Mal's  latest action...

Mine is a threat! If T? is hit I will sacrifice my accounts in order two kill (or If I cant kill at least maim) the culprit. That being said how about we drop T? from this all together and get back to the original post! After all I really do want to know who is mightier but might be just a little too lazy to read through 29 pages to find out. Is war on the way?

I have waded through most of the guff here and have my own opinions.
While it is honorable to notify an alliance of whom you wish to remove or capture a on of their  'suspended players' city (and our alliance does this) it is not something is necessarily necessary (forgive the redundancy) - But why do this?

There is 'no' established or basic code of conduct for this type of thing as yet. In fact, it has typically been a rule of thumb regarding suspended players cities - whoever is there first gets the claim. The person is suspended - if the alliance they are held to desires said property, they need to move on it in a reasonable amount of time. While it is potentially 'polite' to ask if you can have a players city or cities that no longer is playing anymore from an alliance they are labeled as a part of, it is not necessary because of the old rule - get there first.

Again, this is PROCESS that needs to be fleshed out. Most of the player led rules are unwritten and some of those need to be revised due to new aspects within the game. I also agree that both sides made some mistakes, but again - This is a SUSPENDED player.. thus whatever happens here needs to done carefully because there are no actual written nor unwritten/established diplomatic ways proceed which are viable at present. Thus it must be hammered out as you go along. This (in the open forum) helps others see how to better go about it.

As for me, I stand behind the H? player's right to allow the city to be moved or remove by his own hand, the suspended players city irregardless of if he had previous issues with the Valar player or not. Due closeness of the city and the fact the player is 'suspended'.

Now, on behalf of the alliance - Dwarven Lords:

As for any attacks on T?... well, just note the Dwarven Lords will not just watch it happen but will be VERY active in removing any player(s) or cities that wish to test this action. There will be no recompense, only Dwarven retribution. Leave the training alliances alone!
This is not a threat but some positive advise. This is not to derail the thread, as any response to this section will not be responded to.

Thank you
