ex-SHARK Lost A Adds Yet Another “No-War Zone” Land Claim into Newlands

A third contentious land claim has been established in Newlands today, once again by an ex-SHARK player. Lost A, one of SHARK’s largest military players whose departure from the top-ranked alliance appeared to be the result of a rift with SHARK commander Pico, has emulated Ron Fay’s recent CrAp land claim — establishing a strict claim in northwest Newlands. In a forum post in the Illyriad forums, Lost A outlines the boundaries of his LOST land claim, a small area in the northwestern-most corner of the peninsula that is in the midst of SHARK’s burgeoning Newlands footprint:

Lost Again (LOST) has decided to declare a land claim in Newlands, effective immediately, bordered as follows:

Northwest Corner:         126, -1870

Northeast Corner:          180, -1870

Southeast Corner:          126, -1938

Southwest Corner:         180, -1938

The policy of the land claim is almost verbatim the verbiage of Fay’s CrAp claim.

Lost A’s claim is different from the CrAp claim, however, in that currently there are no SIN, SHARK, VIC or GATE cities within its boundaries, meaning that while the LOST claim will not necessarily lead to Lost A attacking sieges taking place on his land, the claim blocks yet another tract of land from SHARK and VIC to exodus in cities, for fear that LOST could siege them out.

With this new claim, the Newlands is now host to the most land claims, both currently and historically, considering TVM’s sprawling land claim that lasted up until the end of the Newlands war.
