How is this in any way fair now? They have 100 block protection in every direction. Crypt, at least give us something in return..such as maybe..ender pearls?
I vote for the CreeperHeal plugin as suggested by psy a long time ago. Set the respawn of blocks damaged for a small margin like 15-30 seconds. You could even re-activate creeper damage if the creeper heal plugin is installed.This would make raiding more plausible without the fear of griefing. It also requires a change in how things are done to raid (albeit only slightly) since the exit will no longer be there after the respawn time.

Well, first, no one would have known that it was yours until you went and announced it.
Secondly, how is this not a major offense?
One thing to note is that with insiders removed cannons might not need to be illegal. The argument was that "no one can get the resources to be safe when they join the server", which I disagree with. But now towns can recruit without fear of betrayal, it is unlikely that towns will be hesitant to add people now. This will give new players a chance to join towns and help the towns while they gather enough resources to go pi on their own. I still think that cannons should be replaced, but it seems like something that could use quite a bit of thought.
And lazuli, almost everyone had your towns coords already. I and several others knew you were settled there before it was brought over.

Either way, advertising coords is allowed if said coords were obtained legally.
Being a troll wasn't covered in the manual so I've got nothin' for that.

Why would you need to know how I know, Jedi?
I knew where you were before the town was moved over. The ice spikes near you was the first 1.7 biome I found. Some people asked me for ice spikes coords so I shared them before I realized you had settled there. It was brought to my attention by one of the people that I shared coords with that you were there.
I'd wager that the "no insiders/infiltrators" clause will be revoked before March when the major personalities of the server start leaving. Although I agree with no new member infiltrators (meaning no using multiple accounts (which was already dis-allowed after the kingjarden incident)), town owners can now trust anyone without repercussions. Espionage is now eliminated, along with planting thieves. That being said, warfare is now limited to no-man's land unless a town owner is dumb enough to leave his doors open. This is very bad.
Thank you, someone with some sense around here.Gudbrandr said:
I disagree with you here. Insiders are very powerful, and with them towns are hesitant to recruit new members. For the most part, towns stay the same size, and have the same people as a result of this.

There are times that cannons can't be used. Whether it be objects in the way, too far, too deep, obsidian, or liquids, there's plenty of ways to stop a tnt. The only ways to stop insiders is to not recruit. I understand this one, and I don't really disagree with Crypt's decision. Even thieves can now recruit more freely, without worry of betrayal.
Removing cannons is an excellent long term goal, but doing it when insiders are removed is not a good idea. Cannons need a replacement, something that doesn't destroy builds. Master mentioned creeperheal, but I think something unique to loka would be great.
In the meantime, however, cannons should be allowed. From an anonymous source who has used many cannons and recruited many insiders, 95% of the loot was cannoAs it is raiders can only target the weakest towns, so the changes have the exact opposite of the intended effect. I'm sure that we can all agree that raiders should target the wealthy over the poor, hell I'd love for someone to try to come after me sometime.
