Sev Space got hijacked! Help!

2 days ago, 5 or so nations moved into our small region and took over the place by making one of their own delegate. They then proceeded to password-protect the region and change the FactBook entry, completely butchering it and adding the sentence "Sev Space is now part of The Neo Mafia Network." We never asked for their presence, nor want it now due to their offensive actions. Please get rid of the Mafia. It is unwelcome. Thank you.

Offending nations: The Color of Magic (new delegate), Pearlian, Paladin Bash, Diablos Spawn, Erszebet Bathory

Yes, he gave out the password to most of the natives. "James the Mighty" is the only one who appears not to have gotten the password.

"James the Mighty" was ejected and not removed from the banlist. Does anyone know for certain if this nation was a native?

First off, they apparently left out of boredom. So we have our region back.

James the Mighty was not a native, but follows the region-crashers around in attempts to keep the natives on top.

I hate having us to put a password on our fun little region, but that seems to be the only way to keep the Mafia punks out.

This sort of behavior should be illegal. It disrupts the fun of the game and it's made me think of quitting. (Obviously, I haven't yet, but I've thought about it.)

Banning them would lead to a lot of boredom for other people, and I might quite possibly stop playing.

If it were illegal, invasions would be impossible.

If it were illegal, invasions would be impossible.I think that might have been his point.

I thought the point was to have fun and join a group you like and discuss issues. I didn't think the point was to get a bunch of your friends and beat out legitimate nations and cause general havoc. Maybe I have the point of this game wrong.The thing is though, consenting invasions really are a lot of fun.What exactly is a consenting invasion? Why would I want my region to be invaded? Why would I consent?

Maybe I have the point of this game wrong.The game is very open ended. People make of it what they like.

Why would I consent?Its not like you just give up and roll over, but theres a lot of fun to be had in the strategising and defence of a region. I've personally shunned the props that the game gives you to defend yourself (see the world factbook for Mercia) as I think they make it too easy to defend a region.
