Why do you not like player owned bases

[Stewgar]

Ah yes, that one base in Honshu (Hiyo Cloud) somewhere far far away from Cardamine trade routes got sieged, why? Because it was owned partially by Couden.

I wasn't around for that siege, too burnt out to look up the posts (Meg can step in)

Also, the other base in again Honshu in front of Yukawa Shipyard didn't have even weapon platforms.

Attempted RP and failed to comply

However, GC also has sieged a pob that didn't really bother anyone until the system has been shrunk and it has ended up in the cloud that could have technically bothered in your trade routes, however, somebody with a mousepad could've done so without the pob being there.

Requested the owner place a request to move it and did not

I've found only one, as this example doesn't set a big difference from other RHA siege declaration threads. It also contains three sentences that end with basically "Oh found your base, you must die".

Did you not read the posts after?

Considering the current attitude of pob builders and in general it is no big surprise that certain bases get sieged when people find out about them.

So it's wrong for GC to siege a base for oorp reasons that Couden owns it (unconfirmed) but it's okay for you to do it?

I also find it amusing that people claim that the sieging party has not attempted to RP before the siege and it always comes into my mind, have you?

I don't find it amusing, I find it a trend. Have you considered that if multiple people are telling you the same thing, it might be something to look into?

However, certain can't deal with their pobs being rejected from certain areas and have to plant troll pobs all over the place, (insert Sigma incident here).

I suggest you revisit the "incident". The base was never rejected, our request was never even answered after several boosts. The base was planted anyway and within 24 hours a siege declaration was submitted. The people involved would surprise you as it involved staff members too. Let that sink in... somebody's actions were so toxic that even staff members pitched in to help because one person wants to rope off a segment of Sirius.

Swing and a miss.
