Perspectives: A sinking feeling
With the new sinkers recently created, large debates have been going on, particularly in Osiris, which saw both sides accusing the other side of invading. TITO claims some invaders tried to grab the region, while invaders claim TITO invaded the region.
Which raises the question: can you really invade an empty region? Does a newly created game region even have natives, or is this simply a case of new uncharted land, ready for anyone to grab?
Who are the natives of these new sinkers? There's the nations that are revived there and stay there, many of them puppets of those curious about the new toy. There's the nations moving in there, claiming to have the intent to make it their new home, though of course intent is hard to judge - anyone can lie, anyone could tell the truth, and none of us are mind readers or fortune tellers.
This also raises the question as to whether any game created region truly has natives, and if so, how they would be defined. Are the large number of nations just sitting there the natives? The group controlling the forum and delegacy? Or does a game created region belong to everyone in the game?
We can even continue by asking ourselves if an empty UCR can be invaded, or one with only defender/invader puppets sitting in it, and no real natives left. The same applies to defending - if there are no natives, are you really defending? Is it simply two forces invading against each other? Or just a matter of grabbing land?
Many questions, and with probably just as many answers, if not more.
