Proposal
That the 'old' conquest system be officially called 'Siege', rather than 'Conquest'.
Reason
In order to acquire a new city which belongs to another player, we have to conquer it. Depending on our world setting, there are two means to accomplish this: Siege conquest, or Revolt conquest. Referring to one as conquest to the exclusion of the other, is a false dichotomy, and is unnecessary and confusing.
Moreover, there is simply no such thing as a world on this server which is Conquest-free. Since that setting does not exist here, there is no reason to use language which insinuates that it does. This proposal is simply a means to correct official wording of things, so that they make sense, rather than sounding foolish. If things are worded more clearly, people will find it easier to infer meaning. If official terminology sounds confused, then a person reading it will likely follow suit.
Details
All admin mentions of a world setting, in which the old system of conquest is referred to as 'conquest', are edited to be called 'Siege' instead. This will specifically target the world settings description as activated in the log-in menu, the Grepo-Wiki pages, and the forum world descriptions.
Balance/Abuse Prevention
Using different terminology -- or rather, establishing terminology which is common, but which this server ignores -- will not enhance the chances for cheating.
