I was just kidding only. Not speaking for or against anyone.

The players who wish to reserve some cities to themselves, why don't they do it by sending an empty siege? They could send the real siege when they are ready to capture it. That way they can claim first rights and don't invite unwanted attention.

Of your two cities in Fremorn, at least one of them has 3 remarkable sovereignty squares which should raise a few eyebrows, and I do not recognize your right in claiming them. 

If one of my allies wants that city , which is imho the only rational way of going about it, Ill support their sieges.


Will you support their sieges if the city belongs to me?  I have a siege at the site of the good sov square, and your alliance member bren'th is speeding up the process with a siege of his own, which to my knowledge is not there to capture.  If you can get the city before I do, there is nothing I can do, given the difference in our size.

The reason that I posted this is because someone was starting a siege on one of steady's cities, and someone else had settled another city next to a different one.  If I hadn't spoken up things would be much more gnarly than they are right now.  I do have sieges inbound to those cities, and the players who are involved with them have been kind enough to work with me and comply with my request to the best of their abilities.

Silent-

Are these cities within the defined boarders of your alliance or are they some of the cities that encroached upon the boundary line you had previously negotiated?  perhaps that will help people to understand more fully the reasons behind the claim / counterclaim. 

Do these cities lie within Tordenkaffen's alliance hub?

Sunstorm:
While these cites are in fremorn, where tordenkaffen's alliance does have a hub, they are in eastern fremorn, while the majority of the fremen curse members are in southern and western fremorn.  Titanium Tower, the lesser of the two fremen cites, is somewhat in southern fremorn, however it is the less contested of the two cities, and curse has made no move to capture it.  Concerning E/A, we do have a fairly large hub (for us) in fremorn, and the cities, especially cobalt castle, are within our territory.

So a player settled a city next to your former suspended account, and you coerced them into moving so you could siege that city?

Not cool.  Not cool at all.

By the way, Silent Sword stated many times that he was putting Steady's cities in those locations so he could siege them later.  He planned this.  I like Silent, but this is wrong.

Why didn't he siege his alt town, while alt was still active?

I suspect he is playing more than 2 accounts and wrong one got banned....

How is Steady's actions to siege his suspended alternate account's cities so that he may capture them and thereby absorb them into his current account wrong? The majority of players use their accounts to benefit the player, TD and EJ, Nesse and Odd, SS and SS, EF and Subatoi and so on.  If there is a fault in sieging a Suspended account's cities and absorbing them into your current account, which happened to be under the same control of the person who controlled the suspended account, then why is it allowed to have the two accounts in the same alliance?  You'd most definitely use the two accounts to help the person operating them in any alliance situation, tourney, warfare etc.

I accessed your post on the history of E/A ( http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/the-history-of-wn-warriors-of-the-new_topic3390_post41827.html#41827) and you mention that E/A has had trouble in the past with staying within their defined boundary.  May I ask if there is any boundary agreement with Curse, WoT, Fremen alliances, etc...?

Now, in a previous post, you said the word "Fremen" ("Titanium Tower, the lesser of the two fremen cites . . .").  I am assuming this was a typo, but have decided to include the Fremen alliances in here as well (since everyone knows they are based in Fremorn).  I have created an overlay image for the community to see based on the information in this post.


Curse: Fuchsia - Fremen (all three alliances): Blue - E/A: Green

Tordenkaffen is in Curse (I chose to make them fuchsia for fun - not making any political statement here...  lol) and would like those locations for Curse members.  As you can see, this is an obvious claim due to the locations of the contested cities and the fact that they lie right next to Curse cities. 

Yes, E/A does have "a fairly large hub (for [themselves]) in fremorn" - however, these cities are spread out...  It is difficult to see where exactly your hub is concentrated.  Furthermore, there is a large grouping of E/A cities in the far south of the map (not shown above).  How many hubs are you claiming for this alliance and are their any defined boundaries listed?

I must say, I don't fully understand why you suspended your account and then made such a hasty claim about the cities...  perhaps I should refrain from saying any more on that...

I also like you as a player, but this may very well be a losing battle.
