Interesting options... i woted for "Harvest anywhere but sov squares", but none of those options is used and probably none of them will be used.
Currently it is more like: Harvest anywhere where you managed to put your army. (because you was lucky to be online when rare harvestables appear?)
Interesting how people say that bumping is normal on basic resources and putting armies there and killing other caravans is rude/hostile but for less common stuff their opinion change. Personaly I send 40 herbalists to some empty rare herb location every day and then hope that there will be no <beep> player putting army on that spot before they arrive (or after).
If you think you own that spot then claim it properly and if it is too far away for SoV maintenance costs then... gtfo or accept fighting because you was the one who started it with occupying army.

FWIW, apparently I was the first to click "ask before harvesting foreign sov", but it's actually the other way around, I avoid foreign sov. If I nevertheless ended up on foreign sov I sent an apology to the owner.
It also depends on the goods: In a bumping contest for traditional resources it can be a goal to bump all vans of the opposition, even on foreign sov. But my last all out bumping contest was months ago, it's too annoying to bump innocent third parties, and send them vans with what they tried to get as apology.
For new trade v2 resources under bumping rules the nearer town typically wins in a bumping contest, same idea as for trade v1 resources. And unlike caravans cotters and gathereres have the same speed for all players, bumping is now arguably fairer. OTOH nearer can be anything, it depends on the distances from town A and B to rare resource R. I fail to see the point of a fixed radius; potential sov is not the same as claimed sov.

My thoughts exactly, this should be a choice on the poll.

Just do not get mad when you get bumped if you harvest where you want. Or get your specialists destroyed.

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so you will not be dependent on anybody.

I'm harvesting where I want, but I'm trying not to interrupt other harvesters

I voted for asking within 10 squares, as it is my personal policy. However, I don't think it is wise to expect a reliable outcome from this poll, nor would I expect that even if something was agreed on, it would be followed. There are just too many factors in play to standardize an accepted distance, I believe. My policy is based on the fact that I am not strong enough to deal with an upset player, and so air on the side of caution by asking even when it seems unnecessary. Certainly different players in different regions with different military and diploatic forces will have different opinions on the matter.

I would like to see people scouting rare plots first more often, as I've lost a couple of close plots due to confeds raping them. One plot I had maintained for nearly 3 weeks before a sneaky confed destroyed it whilst I slept...
