Actually, why not have a primary where everyone can vote, and encourage everyone to vote? Then you get a candidate that has essentially already been elected by the politically-interested people ;P

Because then you could end up with silly results like Ronald Reagan vs Himself.

I was gonna vote Asai, but I guess I'll go Kono here

I've dug a sizable area out of our mines for a tree farm. Once complete, our underground will be entirely self sufficient in the unlikely event our bedmoat is overrun, our walls climbed, and our town pillaged.

Don't make the same mistake I made, which was to put torches on the walls. Also remember we want the ceiling so short that we can chop down the entire (preferably birch) tree without dirt scaffolding.

Oops, I kinda torch'd the wall.

Fortunately, the room is ENORMOUS, so trees should still be fully capable of growing.

Also, we need to do something about the caverns under our moat, especially since some of them lead right into our base. As is the case right now, we have exactly as much claimed land and moat as we need to be basically impossible to conquer (barring land claiming, which we can stop by being online often and not dying), but there are some caverns beyond our moat that clever raiders could dig in through to reach our valuables.

New. I'm off so he can't open boxes. I'll go on for a couple seconds to check if he's still on (I'm safe underground so he can't do anything).

This isn't a DISASTER, really. If worst comes to worst, we abandon a mostly incomplete base with all of our supplies using the method we used to get supplies from the temporary base to our current one. We have more than enough materials.

However, if we did that, we'd have to make sure we absolutely controlled the growth of the fort; no pointless junk and supplies topside, no needlessly wide tunnels, and anything aboveground walled off and with no way in.

i can see the point about them knowing our fort location.
i have not seen them camping our fort though.

if i was getting spawnkilled i would eat the 30 min ban.

my real concern is that if we move to a new fort, and gets invaded again, we will have to move once more!
and really, the situation is avoidable, with a secure spawn room.
i can see the problem with the warps, i am not sure if you can set a warp inside a claimed area though.
AND you don't have to donate to get warp, you just have to have had 10 post, 10 day and 10 votes.

This is the first action we've seen, and instantly we turn our tail and run?
we don't even know what faction attacked us!
tell ya what, we make a new faction, and if you guys are right, we get griefed over and over, we'll come join you guys. if we dont and stay secure for a good time, you come home, ok?

Okay

I declaimed it because we had something like 50+ chunks claimed and it let them declaim our valuable lands. We needed a fresh start elsewhere so as to avoid any raiders claiming and raiding our new base, and our old one has so many tunnels, passages, connections, etc that trying to fortify it once everyone knows where it is is unfeasible.

If you want you can try to rebuild it, though I don't see the point

Hiding would have worked, but some dumbass connected our mining tunnels to that old looted place with the gate and the bridge. The raiders strolled right on in on the shafts, assumed it was our front door, and walked right up the stairs to our base. After that we were kinda boned.

Also, a deep pit might not be enough, since they  can just declaim stuff from us if they want to. We just need a hidden area that doesn't sprawl out and extend so far like the original.

Finally, we need someone who didn't die in the raid and who is currently located at the old fort. You have to set a new /f home and I can give you admin if you need it. We will pick up everything we can from there and evacuate.
