And for that like I said - a mechanic already exists - go out and use it.
Well I'm pretty sure I've put a great deal of thought into this one. If you need consent on both sides then nothing will ever happen.
And here is why it's a bad idea - you will be forcing a faction into doing something they don't want and is not fun for them. There will be siege groups that will roll everyone over, and the other side will burn out and lose. People will hate each other. There is zero roleplay going on during a siege, this is a RP server where PVPers are second class citizens anyways, and this would mean pure PvP in game, with just forum RP.
Unless you can find a system where people would willingly want to open their NPC bases up for a siege, this is just pointless.
One way that could work I suppose. Is if the defenders will receive the entirety of Sci-Data if the siege fails. Where both sides will be gamgling on something, not defenders being able to only lose or keep what they had. But either way - this needs to be agreed by both sides
