Okay, I made a tentative claim in the very beginning of the claim thread
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The black area being my fortress itself, yes it IS that big, or atleast will ne)
And the blue area a plausible expansion for me, leaving room for both Gondor/Eire and Minas Manadh to still expand
Now, on the latest Cartograph someone had apparently built some sort of lava fortress on the little lake in the lower part of my claim. I believe it was Inarus, and IIRC Mang immediately wared him that I had already claimed it. (Marsh's stuff is right next Mang, not shown on map)
Now, normally I would let this go, since this entire claiming procedure is far from polished but it's actually within rendering distance of my fort, which was an actual rule. Now here's my objections to that building:
-Within rendering distance!, sure right now there's a hill in between making it hard to see eachother, but my Donjon will tower above that and leave me with an ugly orange blob in view.
- it already is very crowded there. Me, Mang, I think Doyl3r, Ferrets and some guy called Marsh are all nearly in each others direct view. Now one could be mistaken about this due to hilly area in the game itself, but I'd say the maps reflect accurately just how much people are there. (also hills are necessarily meant to stay, as I'm prone to destroying complete mountain ranges)
- Mang had warned Inarus immediately after that orange blob showed up, but he hasn't made any attempt to contact me and has even built a second orange blob. This isn't that much of a deal, but I would have liked a courtesy call or something, especially after he had been warned he might be infringing on soemone else's area.
- It's really, really, really ugly. And could never be used as a real fortress with all the lava around.
Now, I'd really like a cordial solution to this with the least amount of possible drama.

Some day I'll actually write all the reviews I keep promising...
Re: That fugly lava monstrosity near Kaer MorManco
Ah bloody hell this is clear cut in my opinion. We'll wait for Inarus to post, and hopefully there will be an agreement, otherwise I will set up a poll where we can assign the land to one of you.

Hi all! Sorry
I started building long before the claim thread came into existence, I think you should have checked what was in your "claim" before you claimed it!
Could someone remind me of Mang's warning (memory like a sieve). If I do remember rightly he just said not to build too close to other people as it was a busy area. I have not built too closely. I guess the hills being in the way cause problems though.
Okay, so if you saw a fortress surrounded by lava, how the heck would you besiege it? Thus my point is that it is very effective as its hard to get close to.
Personally, particularly at night, I think it's beautiful
Nowhere in the rules does it state anything regarding the use of lava, I have only made people unhappy when they made over the top claims!
As for the rendering distance, well there was a hill in the way so I am sorry. I guess I shall wait for Manco's reply before I continue.

Inarus its within rendering distance - even before the claim thread it would have been a matter of a territory dispute. You have a duty of respect to the community to check you are not building near others.
