It's mostly to protect the identity of the other player and alliance since it was resolved during a few days when I hadn't logged on, with Chaos planning to exodus away. If you'd like to know more send me a message or send a message to Chaos so I don't have to name that person and alliance that do not deserve public naming for what's now a settled mistake despite evicting someone from claimed territory. I also offered to buy the square or area, or even to have a tournament over it. All that said, it's not really a sore point for me and I'm not terribly upset, though Chaos would still like the square and as I said before I would like to go back to the immigration standards for lack of better words outlined in the OP if Chaos can keep his spot, thus removing the hypothetical double standard just as allowing the reinforced claim of Farra would have removed the other short side of the stick so to speak. The main issue was the very second I announced a new policy in territory we have a presence in already and desire to hold, which would allow us to enforce something similar to what Chaos is being put through, hints of possible future violence began to occur.

EDIT: Due to advice from a wise person to stay off the forums until a few more interested parties contact me, I'll probably refrain from responding any more. I hope though that people now see the point of reinforcing the claim on Farra.

No.

I do not need, nor will, ask permission from any Sta member as that implies Sta ownership.

OK, TCol, BSH and FreE could be considered to have a land claim, and I suppose you could call the hubs of Curse and DLords 'Land claims', but as I said in another thread it's how you support the claim that's important, plus firepower needed to back up the claim is, whatever anyone says, important.

full of yourself as always hu? 
you are a disgrace to H?.


*Sigh* What pathetic reincarnation of a previous troll are you SF?

The arrogance actually lies with Sta claiming ownership. Not mine for requesting basic entitlement to settle in a region without first being granted permission.

Dear StA,

I fear you could have more chance of achieving your goal without this post ....

There is still lot of space to expand your alliance on the island, if you really want, and there was no real reason to declare the claim, and a lot of ways to keep the space for you without attrition. I doubt lot of players would hurry settling in the island before your claim, and you should know a few ways to secure the better spots for yourself. Instead a public statement draws attention.

Also, I think you miss some value...

A neighbor can be a value. A strong neighbor can be a strong value. While having hubs and keeping cities all nearby is important for alliances, having some good neighbor can add value too. 
Most of us would not like people settling very near our cities, but could be happy to have a good neighbor wanting to collaborate.

Just my 2 cents, without malice.

I would like to interject, for the record, that I dont think Llyorn is a very nice chap. 

What sort of a bounder would keep making nasty remarks about a fella's name?

I think the term "ownership" is misunderstood here Llyorn - "home" or "place of belonging" would fit just as well, and I am surprised that you- or H? for that matter would object to people asking for a little personal space in terms of alliance location.
But ok Llyorn we differ in opinion on this matter, not a big problem. I believe the quality of Illy is increased when players have an area to call "homebase" or what have you, as it gives them purpose direction and unity they could not attain otherwise imo. So I am puzzled why you would be against it?

Lastly though I have to say that while asking permission and being diplomatic can be percieved as similar they do not have to be. If you ask that people are reasonable when colonising close to H? you would assume H? members would extend the same courtesy to others no?

There is nothing confrontational intended with this post, but sooner or later Illy have to make some kind of policy about alliances and claims to local sovereignty so that we all know where we stand.
Personally I see the scattered alliances as having a flaw in leadership as it is a painful but ultimately very beneficial excercise to ask your members to move their cities into the same area, as it increases the experience/sense of being "allied" with someone and adds value to the game itself that there in the great chaotic mix of cities is some tendency towards a structure and meaningfullness.

Otherwise alliances will only orbit around the purpose of growing bigger, and thats a very 2-dimensional gameworld.

No offense intended to anyone, just felt it had to be said eventually.

And please stop giving StA grief over their hard work and team effort to carve out a place for themselves in Illy - most alliances have no idea of how taxing it can be on an alliance and it's members.

Peace

I object to an alliance blanketly claiming a large named territory. I nor anyone else should not have to ask permission to move into a large territory. I fail to see why this is so puzzling.

Once again. There is a huge difference in requesting dialogue before moving within an irrational distance to a city and outright claiming of a territory. I think apples and oranges and IM puzzled as to why so many fail to grasp this.
