Claimed water

[lili]

So, I was traveling along a river at night, fishing, and decided to land on a shore quickly to change my bait from one of the baskets in my boat (My inventory was all fish, so no room for spares!) Either way, I landed on here, quickly exchanged things, stored some fish, and started heading back to continue fishing...

And I noticed.

The water tiles seemed a strange color in the dark, but it wasn't until I clicked on the "show claim" button-thingy that I realised that I had landed on taken land, interacted with my objects on this land, and sailed through this claimed water!

I do not have trespassing, or anything like that, so I don't even know how it was possible that I got into the boat and kept going! I left a runestone explaining, but hopefully they'll see it and understand before they summon me or some terrible thing like that :/

I did not want to even risk anything by sailing back in to see if I left scents...is that possible in this case? How did this even happen? SHOULD I BE WORRIED? D':

Also, if that was your claim, I apologize! I was only trying to catch some food ;~;

No, you shouldn't be worried. If you didn't have criminal acts on, you couldn't have left scents. The game likely remembers your object ownership for a small time, allowing you to re-enter boats should events like this occur.

The game does not remember object ownership. If you drop something on claimed land, you can't pick it up. If you don't have Trespassing or Theft, then you were not on claimed land.

However..

If it wasn't claimed land but village land, and the village was abandoned (out of authority) you would be able to drop items onto the ground and take objects without having Trespassing or Theft.

the part about villages is true, but the other part is only half true. The game remembers ownership of boats, nothing else tho

But that's the thing...

I WAS on the claim. Not the edge, the middle of it (or I'm guessing its the middle). It wasn't until I was back in my boat that I saw I had been inside of its boundary lines.

I've passed by there before this was even here, and this is the first time I've seen it. I don't know if this is some fluke, but hopefully it's a "good" fluke and I'll be spared of the scents :I

Wagons and boats are a little fucked this way, it might be on purpose though, don't know, I've had the run in or two with this happening before in W3 and where I got out of the boat later I left scents.

Actually, I'm not sure, but I think hand carts might retain ownership. This is important because control of them can be lost if the edge gets caught on something.

To the OP, another possibility for this scenario is that you happen to know the claim owner, and he gave you permission without you knowing.
