yeah that's right. that's exactly why it needs to be fixed. if the only answer is 'join a different faction', then it's a balance issue between factions that needs to be fixed.

Or when you saw them sailing up, just drop an efield on the deck of the boat and they cant move... Genius!!!!
A long time ago when I did factions on LS people were in boats behind the base earthquaking (this is like prepub 16 im talking about) and the EQ would hit everyone. At that time the GMS made some rule about boats there. So all these people crying may just get you in trouble (not that I agree with them). I know I go tbanned way back for sitting ona boat earthquaking. I thought it was just smart tactics.

i dont particularly agree with that, i think all factions should have different attractions, the base forming a major part of that.
Factions pre-pub 16? Has it been that long? Jeez

Ok for those of you that don't know me I'm Rammstein aka Dale EarnhardtJr on chesapeake server of ultima online. I was the guy guilty for having 40 guards at the stronghold helping guard the sigils. Which to my knowledge is legal. 
I have listened to and read plenty on this whole thing and heres what it boils down to. We lost the sigils due to a very old flaw with our stronghold. Whether this is a bug or an exploit is irrelevant it wasn't enforced to either extent. I have to say that after hearing how they got out I remember my old faction days on Lake Superior and I remember people doing that then. Hats off to you if no penalty is imposed. If however EA decides you broke the rules and chose to fix it that really doesn't change the fast that it happened and its over. Had we known there was another way outa the base we wouldn't have just stayed outa the stronghold. We had plenty of people to go in there and end it. However!!! Our guild has a major flaw. We have people not in factions pvping and we have an alliance in a complete different faction. So I honestly feel that had we pushed the end outcome was Rot leaving the base with the sigils. So either way they had the clear advantage with experience and overall faction numbers. As far as the exploding boxes I refuse to use them and think that they need to fix that exploit/bug with the next publish. Our guild has the opportunity to fight clean and legit and some of our guys are taking a cheap way out. Its hurting our chances to win fights and its really annoying. I'm sure I'll take some heat for that, but I'll take my lumps and move on. To Rot there are things your guild is doing also that needs to stop. When one of us goes to Demon temple and find one of your guys there you don't need to bring in ten people to help kill one guy. Let the solo one vs one fights happen. If your guy loses then bring in the numbers to kill us. Try and keep the fights in fel even as much as possible and I'll much more respect for your victories. With that said I'm done and outa here. I'm here to have fun anything else would be uncivilized.

you keep talking all this stuff and it sounds good but simple fact is you have guys who do nothing but rez kill and wont fight. even necro said he doesnt want to pvp just cheap shot people.
Necro isn't part of swat and doesn't represent the overall element of our guild. They are in an opposite faction and really don't benefit our guild or alliance at all. Taka seems to think that joining CoM isn't an option. Necro just wants to be Commanding Lord of a faction even if its a faction that has no effect on the overall state of factions. I might be the only one that wants to fight people one vs one

he isnt? isnt he part of champs? i think he is. are you kids allied to them? oh you are? so he is part of you guys. thats your problem. maybe you guys should do something about that. i am also sure i have seen tons of guys at events instead of pvping
Yes, it is a bug. You are not supposed to be able to place boats or sail boats within the faction boundaries.
If the Devs expect factions to become big, then these issues, however silly or neat or 'smart' they may seem, need to be addressed.

Oh believe me Truss we are doing our best to convince Courage to drop the alliance. A huge part of Swat is extremely disappointed with our alliance. I however am not in charge of our guild so until then we deal with a minority of our alliance that is making the rest of us look bad or worse. To Necro and Taka I say this straighten up or get out. Make the decision to remove the alliance easy and just bow out. Go back to your houses and hiding stealth dexers the only templates you know how to play. If your looking for sympathy you won't find it here. I've played a mage for almost twelve years and have no respect for a player that won't stay on the screen in a one vs one fight.
