It's not illegal to waste logs like that. What even is this mess of walls? And pclaim that doesn't even cover 'em. Have you tried poking it? Miight not even be soaked yet.
One of those things not generally "acceptable" but allowed.
A few worlds back I was never able to complete the fisherman credo because it kept giving me a quest to deliver a particular fish to a certain tree; simple enough except this tree was inside a large unfriendly village (I was even warned not to ride near it). So I bail that quest, which sets me back one quest; two quests later i get that same quest again ...two steps forward, one step back; this continued to the end of that world. I proposed that if you bail a credo quest it gets flagged so you are not given that quest again.
I think claim spacing is 5 tiles still? If so you could claim part of their wall lol That lets you build your own pallisade and a wrecking ball inside XD
