When you say 'these people', do you mean StA or the people talking in this thread?

Hi!  Clearly you're new here.  This is a forum devoted to discussing politics and the game in general.  If you don't want a policy discussed, putting it up here is a poor choice.  Once you do, pretty much everyone who is interested and has an opinion is going to comment because that's pretty much the point.  

On a more specific level, a lot of people don't like the idea of an alliance claiming large areas it has no functional control over and trying to restrict settlement there.  The precedent is bad, because if StA can claim a region, there isn't a lot stopping a larger alliances claiming other, more substantial bits of the map.

so much drama, so many players not directly involved are arguing about alliance politics of an alliance that is operating outside the area of influence of basically anyone safe from the inhabitants of ferra island. ( there seems to be some silly big shots that for troll's sake relocated there or whatever..)

i don't think new players would spawn there, nor would anyone have interest on invading an alliance controlled area.. 
so what's the big deal? those StA fellows are doing something wrong ? to me some of you here are making a big fuss over a petty situation.

I'm gonna have to call BS here.  No army without a siege component should take over five days to hit the coast from anywhere on Farra.  The slowest unit in the game is still going to make it in a day or maybe two, max.  And you're still easily one of the most concentrated alliances in the game.  Being "stretched"  over a hundred squares is really nothing at all.  And none of this explains why you feel entitled two the whole island in the first place.

As alluded to above, most alliances are considerably worse off in that respect.  Just move up the coast if that's the issue.

I would also like to avoid competing for space with other players, but that doesn't mean I'm entitled to kick them off any areas I want.

I don't feel that might makes right, and even if I did, ya'lled need a LOT more might to justify claiming an entire region.

1( In our last war our mainland cities were attacked while our armies from the islands had well over 5 day march times. >While being on the coast wouldn't be 5 days<, it's the choice between holding the islands, whatever the coast can offer plus a decent march time, or being in isolation or in relatively weak colonies in a better spot off the coast.

As to being entitled, I suppose no one is, though no one would have a better claim than us. Thus I am looking forwards to negotiations as to what seems to be a fair settlement policy on Farra that preferably respects the wishes of the current inhabitants. Feel free to send me a message if you feel this will affect your alliance and I'll include you.

2( See 1, second sentence.

3( I'm hard pressed to call into question then how an alliance member of mine is in preparation for exodus, hard pressed due to the fact we have always had very friendly relations with that alliance which I'd like to keep and due to the fact it sounds like an honest mistake that has been discussed already. I'm hoping that such a precedent applies to small alliances as well and that I have their support.

4( This is why I am asking for negotiations through a good friend with the right people. In addition I think that I'll ask if it seems fair that alliances with a confederation with us have a higher city limit once something is established to be the rule on Farra, if that's the way it's decided.
