Spir

Spiral Confederacy: Field Report§0 §0 §0The Spiral Confederacy's claim spans roughly 2700m x 1500m. It is extremely sparsely built-in. I personally walked every meter of the claim over the course of the last week and encountered only one other player, someone

from Clearwater who owns a section in the middle of the S.C. claim. §0 §0Having walked the entire claim, dug around markers, tried to break walls and enter locked doors, I can say that I would have triggered any and every snitch that they would've had, I

absolutely would have drawn attention to §0myself....but§0 I got nothing. No words of warning, no attacks. §0 §0This fact, along with the lack of buildings in the claim, brings me to one of a few conclusions:§0 §01) The S.C. reside mostly underground, in one of the

dozens of naturally occuring caves/holes that sprinkle their lands§0 §02) The S.C. are very inactive players in general and simply have not been on, none of them, for the last week§0 §03) They are so extremely cautious that not only

do they live below ground, but they do not even respond to intruders. I even grew wheat on some of the farms I found and came back later to harvest it. Nothing.§0 §0 §0Every farm/village I found was long abandoned and devoid of villagers except for one, and

that village was so forgotten there were villagers trapped in holes caused by creepers. Every tunnel/hole that I found that appeared to be manmade, I explored. None had been explored deeper than a few dozen meters. I found evidence of only two mines, and

both were incomplete, empty, and abandoned. The entire claim is either just being built, or in some stage of abandonment.§0 §0 §0The only exceptions are places that I have taken note of, one at the north of the claim (-2159, 2157) and at the

south end of the claim (-1940, 3230). These were the only buildings that were locked and had their walls reinforced, but again over the whole week I saw nobody and was never warned or even spoken to despite the fact I tried to break into both places just

to draw them out. They either weren't around, didn't even have snitches set up, or were unable/unwilling to confront me for some reason. §0 §0 §0Geography§0 §0 §0Geographically speaking, this is a very diverse claim area.

There are high mountains that border the easternmost edge. The middle is endless plains and hills dotted with natural caverns. The claim is split by four large rivers that all converge within the Clearwater section in the middle. To the west there is

desert filled with maze-like caverns. The claim is rife with areas that would make excellent bases/outposts that would be easily §0defendable...but§0 there is nothing. §0 §0 §0Strategic Opinion§0 §0 §0If we were to move against the S.C.

we would be going into a large, sparsely built up claim that very well could hide bases under the ground. I found many caves and crevasses but it would take literal months to explore them all. We would be best served by simply focusing on the two points

to the north and south that I described earlier and using their response to hunt down the remains of their bases/personnel. §0 §0 §0Additional§0 §0 §0I have created a graphic overview of my findings, it is here:§0 §0imgur.com/a/WlDXG
