Stark doesn't even know what Stark has. Based on the merry-go-round of policies that they've posted (you'll recall that their first land claim coordinates were completely wrong and had them claiming mostly water), what they have is a "no-claim zone."

The "no-claim zone" was implemented by TVM. It is not a land claim because there is no settlement restriction enforcement. However, disallowing other alliances from setting up a claim in a "no-claim zone" IS enforced. This is what Phoenixfire indicated the Stark claim now is.

This "Declaration of Homeland" that PF invented -- which is a cool idea -- is not the same thing as a "no-claim zone." All a DoH is is an unofficial area that an alliance calls a "homeland" because most of their cities are clustered there. There is no policy enforcement whatsoever -- no restrictions outside of the 10-square rule. They are similar to the "prominent alliance clusters" on the map, in that they are just there to show people where alliances' cities are pooled.

DoHs are really cool, and if we implement them on a map, they definitely enrich the whole "strategic map" concept. But Stark doesn't have a DoH, but rather a "no-claim zone." Or at least based on what they last said. They might change it yet again after PF reads this.

You can try and claim it all you want. We will not listen or comply with such a claim.

At least not until you are the dominant power in that zone, then you will start enforcing LCs.

Nope. The DoH is what we are staying with as it is less likely to create conflict than a land claim which is all we wanted from the get go. A small place that we could settle in without people messing with us just because they can.

Thats odd. I seem to recall a small alliance messing with around a smaller alliance because it could.The alliance leader threatened the smaller alliance over settling in a region that was almost entirely unpopulated. That alliance and its leader actually went to war against the smaller over those disputes,  I can't remember the player's name, something unoriginal, but it'll come to me...

Yup, that was me. Also I use this name because it uses my initials P and F. 
We went to war then over the same reason we went to war with Stomps. We wanted to be left alone for once, we had been kicked out of two different areas by two different alliances and we were tired of it.

So you then tried to turn the tables and kick someone else out. 
Admirable

No we asked to be left alone and for han to maintain the 10 square rule. You responded with "almenly is largely unpopulated so we will settle where we want to" we then responded with ok just leave us alone and then we magically received 50+ diplo attacks in a matter of a week. So we assumed you would not leave us alone so we attacked first before being thrown out of yet another spot on the map.

this back-and-forth would seem to deserve its own thread. perhaps Rikoo would be so kind as to move it to one, as it's simply a distraction here.

Has anyone noticed that DoH is quite similar, if not congruent, to Homer Simpson's catch phrase for screwing up? I made a land claim, d'oh!
