Fights Across Borders

This is a reminder regarding Lusternia's policy against circumventing
the PK system by finding ways to push people into enemy territory or out
of their home territory. If there are ways to do so, it is an exploit
for you to use them. Please report such a bug immediately as these are
ones we would like to close.
I think the spirit of our PK system is rather clear. If you want to
attack someone in enemy territory, you have to go there to do it. The
only exception are a few ranged attacks where the defense is simply
moving two rooms away. I'm tempted to even take away abilities to attack
from adjacent locations in separate areas but others have convinced me
that this isn't necessary. If someone does attack you from an adjacent
territory in another area, that is an automatic declaration upon you and
you (and your allies who defend you) are then free to kill that person
without repercussion.
We've recently coded tackle, barge and push to close the loophole where
you could push others into enemy territory or out of your home territory
(home being your city or commune). Magical attacks that do the same,
such as summon, gust and beckon have already been coded in the same
manner for some time. If you know of other loopholes, please let us
know.
