I took an island last night and 25 minutes later it was taken by Cruoi_Dabne[DIGG]. He didn't have to remove the mainhouse but he did send 2 cats with the colo fleet. I could have sent my colo fleet earlier but I wanted to leave time between my cat and colo fleets in case some one beat me to it. Can I get a ruling on this one and if there is a diplomat willing to negotiate for me then please send me an IGM. 400 point island at stake. No one cleared any army.

hafbaked did something similar to what Cruoi did and I fought for him. The cats shouldn't be there, but they were irrelevant towards the outcome. The main reason why I fought for hafbaked though was because the other player took the isle back by force and stocked it with stonies.
[DIGG] probably wont like their members sending cats regardless though, so its worth a shot to get some compensation.

If I hadn't bothered to send seperate fleets, I could have been on that island an hour earlier. If DIGG wants to start a policy of sending cats with colo's I am more than willing to oblige. I will not exccept comp for this. It would just be 15000 gold and I can produce that in about 45 minutes.

Yeh McGoogus AeRoS makes a point.
If he sent his colo with his cats the main house would have already being built, then the cats on C_D fleet would have being in an issue.
It seems that their is no reward for being a considerate player.

If an isle has <100 points I tend to send my catapults and coloship together. Thats usually because someone at least usually clears something. Argue your point though, if you can get people to stop using catapults with their colofleets we wouldn't have issues like these.

This isle was 400points or so so what would you do out of curiosity eproxy mate?
Added the fact that this isle was cleared over a month ago and was used by C_D as a farm, it seems as if he's paniced when seen the mainhouse go down and then sent that fleet to essentially steal it from whoever took it.

It seems that their is no reward for being a considerate player. I agree he has made valid points. I understand your issue, Aeros, with anybody sending cats with a colo fleet regardless of the outcome, but if we're going to expect others to play fairly, we have to do the same. You've done nothing wrong here at all though. All I'm saying is that we can't flip-flop our stance to benefit us. A couple days ago cats that did nothing were irrelevant and today they're worth taking an island back over.

I think even cats that did nothing are relevant. It's the intention that counts.

The main house of the unruled island was lvl10. He could not have hoped to take the island with his 2 cats except to take it from some one who already hit the island. The time span from unruled to when I first owned it was about 4 hours. His island and mine are about equel distance from the island but I delayed for may cat fleet to lead the way. He could not have known that the mainhouse was destroyed before he sent that colo fleet. This was purely a sniping fleet.

Our new policy states the owning the island first gives you the claim. Regardless of who clears it and what not.
Granted I'm not a fan of that policy but I am still following it to keep the system going.
Arminius makes the point, You don't send two cats to a 400point isle and hope to take. You send 2 cats in a hope to snipe.

DIGG offficial policy is not to send cats, unless of course the MH was not level 1 when the fleet is sent. They wont back up members who disobey this, allegedly.

I agree that Aeros should have the isle back. I'm just trying to solidify that we have one stance and one stance only on this matter. If any of us send cats with colo fleets for now on, regardless of if they level the house, we will not back them, correct?

I think sending cats with colo's at unruled is asking for trouble. If I don't get that island back I will be sending colo attempts at every unruled island in my oceans and sending 2-3 cats along with, just to make sure I knock down the mainhouse of whoever gets there first.

No, I think the alliance will support you to get that isle back.
