Illegal Boat Blockade?

[Brules]

So is it legal to block off a huge area of ocean to create your own private ungriefable lake to mine from? Definately NOT era accurate as OSI wouldnt let you do this. The Breadman needs to move some boats to allow everyone access to all areas of the ocean.

The boat blockade goes all the way across, you just cant see them all in mini-map. You can't place a boat to gain access. Will staff take care of this?

federal crime for sure


why would this be against the rules? some bug needed? somebody wants to refresh all those more power to em.

the spirit of darkwing is strong in you brules. maybe you've been possessed.

When DW put up his blockade he was forced to remove it if I remember correctly.

This is Trammel at it's worst.

This is Trammel at it's worst.

and irony at its best.

[Pac]

Our Blockade is perfectly legal.

[Brules]

How is it irony?

[Kander]

I for one think blocking any are where you should be free to sail into should be removed. I know its not blocking a way to a town but i know alot of ppl like my self sail into that area. But a good question is what is he doing in there? AFK mining or fishing with 100% safety?

[Plague]

Remove it!!!!! only reason for it i can see is to akf mine which is .........ummmmm......deffinatly illegal. Should be a bannable offence really....maybe i wanna fish right there...........looks like the fish are bitin!

[Brules]

This has happened in this very area before. If you can get by it via skethcy game mechanics, it seemed staff was OK with it.

BUT if it is impassable, such as Darkwings Cove blockade, he was FORCED by staff to remove it.

So staff has been very shady on this topic, and has flip flopped on it. I would like to see a hard ruling by Derrick as to whether boat blockades are 100% legal. If so I will certainly go make my own and mine my heats desire out.....in 100% safety. I thought with the Cove fiasco it was clear, but apprently not.

Past threads on subject with no firm rule by staff:

Plenty of votes to ban blockading:

Previous blockade in the same spot BUT it was passable by game mechanics. This new blockade is NOT passable:

this new bloackade has been their for over a week its right at the line to so annoying and its impossible to place past i have my boat in the middle of the outer layer of the bloackade to prevent it from getting deeper going w/e all his boats go N/S

[Zorce]

NOt sure I agree that staff should get involved by making them remove the boats because it doesnt block a waterway or town but I would highly suggest they investigate afk resource gathering in this "safe spot".

a little obsessive, but its at least in the spirit of the era

its ironic because you're asking for trammel, brules

[Brules]

Era accuracy dictates removing of the boats. Darkwing was forced to move his perfectly legal boats. So which is it staff? Are blockades legal or not? Why the double standard? Lets sort this RECURRING issue out once and for all.

[applejack]

You gotta understand Brules, Darkwing was REALLY annoying.

Revert to pre-T2A housing so we can have tents and use them to block off whole sections of land.
