P.S. Small is beautiful, and that doesn't just apply to dwarves.

I personally respect other peoples areas and am easy to get along with.
But realistically, people are people and there will be conflict, and after all this is a game,
everyone is trying to be best. Good luck to all

As Suanne said, when you have limited resources and humans, you will get conflict. If anyone wants to contradict that, I'll refer you to the History Section of the bookstore. Try reading it.
And, I'm sure Sauron would have responded brilliantly to Aragorn's entreaties to just hug it out...

Kumomoto, you, sir are no Sauron ...
(Or was someone else supposed to be Sauron and you were supposed to be Aragon? I'm confused ...)
I believe that on a small scale, we can overcome history and our baser natures, if we choose to do so. I am not saying it is a "right" or a "wrong" way, simply that it is a choice.
Oh, and honestly I don't care about being the best. I'm here to have fun and help other people have fun. Some people care about being the best, and that's great. It's not a priority for everyone. I guess you could say that I want to be the best Rill that I can be, but that doesn't mean that I need to be "better" than someone else. Lots of people can do what I do better than I can do it. Hopefully I can help and support them.

I'm a fairly new player here, but it seems to me that this policy is overly bellicose, and maybe just a little more than a bit greedy. You don't
need that much space. If you'd said 8 squares, it would seem a little more reasonable, but even that is more than you can realistically use. Ten is absurd.

As you said, Basil, you are new. And therefore, really do not have any appreciation for what you are talking about.
And let's divorce ourselves from this concept of "let's discuss what is an appropriate distance for anything" and it needs to be approved by a popular vote.
NO. Just like the real World. if there are treaties to be signed or alliances to be made, they are made by the powers that exist. And let those powers deliberate.
And you know what? All the moaning and groaning and hugging and snuggling that can possibly happen is not going to matter a whit when these alliances do put their heads together...

Not really. A lot of it is either large areas of 1 foods (can you actually settle on that? Because it'd be hilarious) or large expanses of water down to the south. Oh and there's some desert areas too that are basically uninhabitable. So 3M is probably around the actual number of useful squares on the map. At least currently.

Yes, really. It is actually 4mm squares. Whether they are appropriate for settling or not is completely irrelevant.

Remember these words.
Now abide faith, hope and love, these three. And the greatest of these is love.

Wrong. I know exactly what I'm talking about.
| And let's divorce ourselves from this concept of "let's discuss what is an appropriate distance for anything" and it needs to be approved by a popular vote. |
I said nothing of the kind. I simply stated that a unilateral declaration of ten squares of exclusivity was absurd. In my opinion.

"Powers that be" includes
every single player in Illy. Every single player in Illy has a right to voice his opinion/objection/approval of whatever has an effect. "Just like in the real World"
| And you know what? All the moaning and groaning and hugging and snuggling that can possibly happen is not going to matter a whit when these alliances do put their heads together... |
And do
you know what? Sitting back and meekly accepting what's offered, regardless how it may negatively affect you, is a chicken-s**t way to conduct your life.
