Shax, I am perfectly willing to acknowledge that players who vote for "Tournaments" and those who vote for "PvE / Factions" can mostly be considered as one bloc of players who are not fond of PvP / siege warfare. In general, there has been a bit too much made of these polls, and far too much irrational consternation from a few players over what, if any, consequences will come of their results. This is not a deep-diving, multi-question questionnaire; it is a short, fun poll to get some players engaged in voting for and talking about why they voted the way they did. Maybe someday in the future we'll use SurveyMonkey or a similar platform to do a penetrative survey to gauge a wide range of insights from the players. But this is not that day. The results are to some degree informative to the DEVS in our design projects, but do you think we're going to cancel Faction AI if PvP "wins" the poll? Or that we'd shut down siege warfare if the Tournament players "won?" It's nothing like that; it's just a simple poll. In digital and social media, polls are often used merely as a way to engage users. I thought this was self-evident, but will make sure in the future to include plenty of fine print to allay any loathsome fears. Huge apologies to the server for any confusion here!

Well there wasn't an option that matches why I'm here. My interest in Illy is that there is a massive amount of data available and that gives me the chance to play about at making little addon tools to supplement the UI. It also gives me source material for my other hobby of bookbinding (currently working on an atlas of Illy).

Following the rules is checked by the referee. Fair play is something else:"The principles of fair play include integrity, fairness, and respect for opponents, fellow players, referees and fans.
With these principles, the spirit of competition thrives, fuelled by
honest rivalry, courteous relations and a graceful acceptance of
results." In my opinion that includes not attacking players/alliances that do not want to fight, not attack players when they are down, and so on. And yes, of course you can do that. But in my opinion then you get an unhealthy environment that just dies in the long run.

I notice that "chatting" and "sending stuff to newbs" are also not available options.
