Homesteads, like a plague of locusts

[Robhood]

Since I already can guess the objections to the previous suggestion, how about this solution:

Let me choose the spot within the boundry I've already claimed, that I want to start my "growth" from. And let that sub-radius within the larger max tribe radius be the area I can build within, and let it expand as I add members until it fills in the max radius already reserved for my tribe.

As opposed to the current system that says I have to grow from the centerpoint of the already reserved max tribe radius.

Good point. The gripe is, as an example, a small tribe wants to have it's area covering junk and water. A homestead is 140 meters away and the tribe cannot place the totem to cover the junk/water. The tribe moves back far enought to be able to place a totem but no longer does the junk/water fall within their radius. If the tribe grows enough in size over a period of time, it will engulf the junk/water desired, if it remains moderate in size, it cannot claim the junk/water within it's boundries, but no one else can claim that land either.

Allow a tribe to use the land that is reserverd, rather then have it (the land) sit there wasted on the hopes a tribe grows large enough to fill the area already reserved and wasted.

Easy solution , push the green mist back ... plenty of land.

Done.

This...all these problems arise because we don't have enough playground.

And how many more problems will arise when the nearest person is a 20 minute run away...

We do, it just no one wants to travel more then 3 zones away from the lake. In my travels I can across tons of flat lands far away from the lake. People need to step away from their comfort zones, there's a big world out there.

One thing i dont think i've seen suggested anywhere in these talks...... How about just inviting the person with the homestead to your tribe? I mean unless you just want to socialize with the people already in your tribe and only in your tribe. But then we will hear " I shouldnt be forced to associate with someone to be able to blah blah blah) but thats exactly what your expecting of the solo player.

Just a thought.

Yeah, we've tried to talk to the person blocking our land, but he just ignores us and keeps doing what he's doing.

That is because there is few junk and sand in the mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe, one zone mist border removal and a start point or two AWAY from the lake would ease all these problems and make launch smoother.

I thought about that too, what kept me from posting is the fact that douche bags will say "hey if drop your totem, you can join" then squelch on the deal. Now it falls into the buyer beware for me, but there's nothing the solo can do if getting screwed over. And I myself, if I went solo, would not submit to a heretics demand and would keep the land out of spite. There is nothing you could give me, that you couldn't kill me the minute I submitted and take back.

Well right now Forsaken has pretty much an open enrollment policy which means basically anyone that matches our ideals and is not a douchebag can join. This will stay in effect until our numbers reach a certain number, probably 20-30.
