Harvesting Rudeness

I am only in the minority on this particular forum thread. A quick look at the map shows that I am in the vast majority. I see lots of mines and herbs with garrisons, many with both guards and sov claims, and relatively few with only a sov claim. The practice of posting guards is so widespread because it is effective.

I am curious why my approach is labeled as passive. Posting guards is a proactive measure to eliminate the possibility of minor conflicts like this one. It requires diligence and action, which is the opposite of passive behavior. If anything, claiming only sov and then complaining about intruders is passive, particularly if this disagreement has happened more than once. You have an easy, effective solution available. Post a guard, problem solved. It will probably never happen again.

If you think Brand is passive, I just recently reassured a new-ish player that it was okay that he was collecting on my sov (he sent me a message apologizing) and sent him 150K gold and 1000 of each adv resources just to be nice. >.>

When one begins a forum topic, one can expect to have some discussion related to it.  Often that discussion moves in directions unforeseen by the original poster.  It is the nature of forums, seems to me.

As far as any person needing the basics on my sovs, I'm cool with that, even to the gold that's sitting on my sovs with VANS. I am past the point of needing basics outside my castle, and I don't have a 10x10 area that I claim for npc's... respect my basic 5x5 area is all I'm asking. I remember people harvesting on my front porch, I do call that rude, so don't test me.
