Writ of Notice (Dark Empire)

Writ of Notice

Under this writ the Dark Empire intends to make it clear to all, and public to all, without exception.

Recent Events within the confines of Global Chat have shown to the High Council of the Dark Empire that such a Writ of Notice may be advisable, due in part to those who seemingly clamor for war and aggression and yet claim to extol peace.

The Dark Empire maintains that the protection of our members and our allies is one of the precepts of our operations.  The recent threats to that protection in GC, and ongoing expansion into the areas described below, are the primary agents of this Writ of Notice.

For all points of reference, the Dark Empire makes measurement from it's Capital as listed on the profile for Dark Empire.  For all purposes herein the border extends 300 squares in all directions from the Capital, broken into 3 regions.

The Dark Empire's Heartland Region is said to be a square within 100 squares from our Capital as shown on our profile page.  The Heartland is and shall continue to be reserved for the Dark Empire, with the exception being any that may already have settled there.  Incursions will not be taken lightly, nor will they be without notice.  This is a place where fools rush in, where angels fear to tread.  Caveat Imperium.

The Frontier Region the Dark Empire is reserving for the Dark Empire as well as our trusted Allies.  This region extends to 200 squares from the Capital.  Again, those who are not yet allies and are settled in this area may abide in peace with the Dark Empire - there is no quarrel with them.  Any who wish to settle or locate to this area may do so at the pleasure of the Dark Empire.  Incursions here will be given proper notice.

The Outer Limits Region of the Dark Empire extends to 300 squares from the Capital.  Dark Empire will settle into this area as desired by our members.  The Outer Limits will be monitored for aggressive actions.

If any questions on this arise, please freely contact any agent of the Dark Empire High Council, as denoted within our alliance profile.

 

All My Best,

Sisren, Dark Consul of Peace

Hmmm. I'm with Brids on this.

With the understanding that not everyone agrees with this practice of claiming swaths of land one doesn't currently inhabit, it really would be easier to track them if there was a central place they could all be posted.

Any new player settling an area should practice some level of situational awareness.  When John Six-Pack is finding an area to settle, he has been playing long enough to know that teleportation is a rather serious endeavor.  With the common sense he has gained from his long hard 7 days of growth he will more than likely look about the region he is planning on moving to.  When he sees that the square he was interested in is surrounded by big cities belonging to BSH for example perhaps he will say "Hmmmm maybe I ought to talk to these guys to see if they will be nice chaps." 

On the other hand he might choose his city placement by way of throwing darts at a map.

Lets say in RL you move to the big city and are with a real estate agent looking at houses.  He is talking your ear off about how nice the house is all the way to this fixer upper.  But you really couldn't help but notice that everyone walking down the street and gathered on street corners in the immediate vicinity of the house were wearing red t-shirts with baggy pants and red bandanas.  Does that sound like a place to bring up your children?

This is all about tolerance.  Can an alliance clumped together be tolerant of a few tourists who happen to wander into their territory?  Will they be greeted with a flower lei or the proverbial glock turned sideways?  It becomes obvious when an intolerant alliance begins intruding for the sole purpose of goading the other alliance.  If that becomes the case, do not be surprised if there is more than one alliance that will step up to defend the other one's sovereignty.

And who might that be directed toward?

Toward Dark?
There is nothing wrong with stating the intent of an alliance's area of control.  They did not come out and say "we are [TMM] join or die."

Toward the naysayers in this thread?
There is nothing wrong with ensuring that the interest of the individual remains safe. 

Toward me?
I merely illustrated both sides without taking either.  If you are speaking of my lack of concision, a quality that you just so adequately demonstrated, well why speak at all if not with magniloquence?  If it really bothers you I could use smaller words.
