We realize that the rules regarding sieges have upset many people. Contrary to what people think, those rules have been added to our official rules page for some time, they were not added the same day of the most recent sieges. As GMs Sekai and myself don't wish to be involved in the sieges, but some clans/people have made it necessary for us to be.
There are few options for us that we would like to discuss openly with players before any rules are changed, replaced, or removed. I will list these in the style of a poll even though I can't create a forum thread with votes. Please tell us what option you agree with, and why.
If you use this thread to flame players or staff members your posts will be deleted and ignored. Please keep all posts respectful if you want your opinion to count. We do not want to make any changes to the server without the input of the players. Please ask your fellow clan members to give this forum topic their attention.
Options:
1. Leave the rules as they are now.
2. Keep staff members out of all sieges.
3. Reset all of the castles and start fresh with no rules.
4. Reset all castles and start fresh with existing rules in place.
5. De-activate Dion and Gludio castles until we have a higher population. (Thus removing existing rules.)
6. De-activate Dion and Gludio and reset all remaining castles.
7. De-active Dion and Gludio and leave the existing rules in place.
8. Disallow clans to take castles from others out of spite. (Meaning staff only gets involved when a clan is being a jerk on purpose.)
9. Other/player suggestions.
Castle Rules:
No alternative clans may take castles from main active clans. Alternative clans may attempt to take castle from other alternative clans, or take them from clans deemed defunct.
If all castles are owned by main active clans, then other main active clans without a castle may attempt to siege any castle they wish.
You may not take your own castle with your alternative clan in an attempt to gain two castles.
