Wow, that's a lot more whining out of Del that I would have expected...
I'm not entirely sure what your goal is with your complaints Del,
Obviously Chernobyl has made enemies, and you throwing your weight around asking for protection makes you want to keep your location secret. I don't see how this update forces you do lose that, just get your goons to spawn in someone else's town and then go pick them up...
The City of Brodgar is there to help new players and has open immigration policies, I don't give a crap if they're "goons" or not or if they stay or go.
Feel free to direct players to spawn at TCoB and learn stuff until they're ready to move on (or not if they'd rather stay)
If that's not acceptable, grab some alts and make a mini village somewhere else in the middle of BFN and get your goons to start there and you can continue as you have been with the GEA.
The model the dwarves have with swamp crazed being the recruitment town and lots of other places with vetted players seems perfect for this system.
In terms of using this system to grief towns, I guess it could be done, but you're talking about losing 25%-50% of your characters stats to do that, even with the current ease of bear eating I think that's a pretty expensive way to cause a bit of irritation.
