Rules on Defending?

I know, I know. Were invaders now. Yeah, yeah.

Aside, I have seen numerous messages from nations who say that invaders are legit because it says so in the rules. They keep whining at us defenders saying, "You guys aren't in the rules, so mind your own business!" Are there any specific rules regarding region defending? I would like to know for us and the various other defenders.

Oh, and can I please see a link to where the mods say founders MUST say, "founder clearing" when they try to bump off spam? I am not trying to be restless, I just would like to see some real rules about it. Thanks.

Sincerely,
GPP

well, to me, defending is invading, so its the same, its jusst a ... weird ugly cousin of invading, lol, but i guess im biased. for all intented purposes defending is legal as far as i know, it is just annoying when defenders claim to be all high and mighty as if they are doing mankind some exceptional service by merely playing a game on the opposite team of of antoher group of people playing the same game.

Defenders follow the same rules as invaders.

Founders should use "Founder clearing" or some such as a courtesy.

Any sort of ideological disagreement isn't our problem.

It is a weird ugly cousin, but since some of us got into defending before invasions were clearly defined or moderated—pardon the age of the puppet—we developed chips on our shoulder that won’t fall off.

As defenders some of us do need to be less preachy, at the same time I don't appreciate an inbox full of swearing or whining about ruining other people’s fun.

Many anti’s will say that some of their best player-friends are invaders and in this case; there are enough to go around.
