As the people of Kinsarmar are pretty aware of by now, they are getting super raided. Raiding is a perfectly acceptable thing in Imperian. However, let me lay out some ground rules.

For the raiders:
- Make sure you have a reason to kill people. You cannot kill them for walking around their city, ignoring you. At that point they have given up and do not want to deal with it anymore. Don't kill them. You have beat them into submission. No need to grief them.

- Just because you've beat them, don't make them hate logging in so much they don't want to anymore. Who will you kill then? It pretty much looks like you have won. Why keep at it? Give it a rest for a few days. Use a little common sense on that one please.

For the raidees:
- Don't talk to the raiders.

- Don't stand in the same room with raiders. They cannot kill you for being in the same room, but eventually you will probably do or say something you will regret.

- Don't follow the raiders around, that really makes it look like you are spying on them.

- Don't repair gates, move guards, drop monoliths, flood rooms, feed pets they are killing, or anything like that while they are in the city. You are effectively defending at that point.

- That being said, why not get a group of people and try to kill them? It does not cost you anything if you die. It is your city, better to die in a blaze of glory then cowering under your bed sheets. Get a group, title yourselves 'The Martyrs of Kinsarmar' and kick butt or die trying.

- Maybe it is time to RP some negotiations with Antioch to cease or with another city/council for assistance.

- You need to either let them win by ignoring them or fight back.

At any rate, this should put some guidelines down for both sides. The raiders should consider themselves warned at this point for the duration of this conflict and I will be closely watching any issues from this point forward.
