Hey Jejune, 

If you refer to the Release Notes & Stats page:
http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/World/HeraldReleaseNotes

You can see that there are currently 1,388 alliances and 4,256 alliance members. 

You have stated that "SIN disagrees with Stomps' position that alliance land claims are not representative of Illyriad, as currently 10 different BL alliances are participating in the alliance land claim initiative, representing over 327 active player accounts. We feel that the initiative is representative of BL gameplay..."

10 alliances in BL with land claims doesn´t even come to 2% of all the alliances in the game, neither do the 327 active player accounts. 

1% of 1,388= 13.8 alliances, let´s say 14, if my math is correct! :P

Point is, land claims are far from being considered representative of the illy community. I haven´t counted how many alliances have towns in BL, i´m sure it´s more 20, hence you can´t say 10 alliances in BL represent the interest of BL, and furthermore, you can´t separate Elgea and BL, the game consist of both, the only reason you try to impose land claims it´s because you are the biggest alliance in BL. But i do appreciate your comment! and I aslo respect your opinion, just dont agree with it, just as you dont agree with mine. 

With regards to taking alliances one at a time, it´s somewhat complicated for 1 player to take on 10 alliances, and as i´ve stated before, I have tried to be upfront with all my opposition, establishing dialogue, trying to come to terms, and a war declaration as a last resort. This is the case with Stark, I contacted Phoenixfire, we spoke, he told me he would consider withdrawing the land claim and talking to his members about it, he came back letting me know that they will uphold their land claim and I thanked him and told him that we will meet on the battle ground eventually, that I would give him a heads up before declaring war. Just to be fair. It´s also a bit complicated since Stark is so small, I didn´t feel comfortable attacking him, and that´s what I told him, that I would find somebody his size to make it a fair fight, which is why I recruited Agalloch, he has the same pop as Phoenixfire. 

Therefore my friend, Sin ganging up on a small player such as Agalloch, doesn´t make Sin look too good. And on a side note, Sin has been critizing coalitions and it seems weird to me that Sin would take part in what they have been critizing all this time. 4 Alliances declaring war at the same time, doesn´t look good for Sin´s coalition, but that´s just my take, which of course you will not agree with.

         Imo, repeated behavior which caused players to quit the game repeatedly out of boredom, or suicide out just to get action, does not speak true to the game's interest.
