Thread: A griefed mayor needs your help.
Ick. Same type of thing happened to me a while back.
Contacted a CSR and I they said there was nothing they could do.
Though that was back when structures blew up. Eventually they went away on their own. Unfortunately I know that won't help your situation.

This is EXACTLY why this is needed:
When a city is founded a total area of 450 meters is set aside or reserved for all furture development, no one else could place a building here, but any pre-founded houses would be grandfathered in as they are now. The mayor and citizens can place buildings anywhere in this circumference of future growth, but the mayor could only count the residents in the 150/ 200/ 300/ 400/ 450 meters as residents as they are now. What this suggests is that the city have more control over who builds within their expected expansion zone, as to prevent griefing later.
This releaves the mayor and the community from worring about hostile take overs by those that agressively place their residents just outside a current border and awaiting an expansion, then once included vote out the founding mayor.
This also releaves much potiential grief by anyone who unwittenly placed say... 300 meters away and didnt realize a city was behind that hill there let alone will expand to include him. Remember the buildings pre-existing would still be grandfathered.. this is 'reservation is for any future developement.
I too have issues with someone who curses SOE on his house sign because of the Combat Upgrade, its very annoying, and a cycle. He writes the sign I report they change he writes it back... I am sorry to here of his issues.
I disagree totally. What if you only wanted an outpost or township. You've not taken up that 450 meters. What if I didn't like a guild, so I dropped a city hall in their midst and they couldn't build for 450 meters. The potential for grief is much greater with this. There will always be jerks in the game. We just have to deal with them. They have a right to play too, and it's a fine line between being a jerk and just doing something someone else doesn't like.
I believe the original poster said he founded the city, then the a$$hat dropped harvs on the 100m border and cancelled his account.
Yes, that is griefing.

You seem to forget that no one actually owns any land in SWG. It's first come first served in every circumstance other than setting up a city hall. You are not entitled to the area around your city regardless of size. While setting up a harvester farm specifically to spite someone is bad, it's not exactly illegal. I don't think you could call it griefing. They were there first. Why exactly do you think a city has rights to land it does not yet have the ability to absorb into the city?
