Just to bring this to the attention for the Playerbase.
Seems there is an issue with Tag Ownership, It is well known that Grog (Head HC)with another HC... JDD Run an alliance that is called Dark Lords Rising which abreviated as DLR. However seems to be no problem in some random in signing up and claiming the DLR tag without showing any means of ownership.
Showing Historical presidence for the DLR tag.
In rounds 16, 30, 31, 33, 34 ,r41 show that DLR played those rounds
(R20 was renamed h3lls angels in tribute to a former player who is no longer alive)

I haven't seen any other DLR tag in history that wasn't run with by either Grog or JDD I would welcome anyone to show any other DLR alliance that is entirely seperate. Nor has there been any alliance recruitment thread for this round showing of another alliance with the abbrievation/name of DLR.
In r27 the PA team announced as per
http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=196517
- Alliance name reservation system implemented
but no other mention of this in EULA / manual or any other offical documentation.
Ive been told that JDD made no little progress with the PA team.
Not only been able to get the DLR tag back but not even able to find out who has claimed the DLR tag this round.
The Tag Ownership list Should also be made Public should there be a dispute of Ownership of tag/show that the tag has been claimed already/that it is rightfully owned.
Also who are the DLR representatives in #alliances ?
which should have been another means of checking credentals of ownership.
In short Im asking for the Alliance name reservation system to be changed / amended accordingly.
