"I shall, therefore, here only beg leave to remind the student, that waste is a spoil and destruction of the estate, either in houses, woods, or lands; by demolishing not the temporary profits only, but the very substance of the thing; thereby rendering it wild and desolate […]"
– Sire William Blackstone, Commentaries on The Laws of England
Among the many crimes against life and property forbidden by the English law the crime of Waste stands out as a particularly egregious assault upon the good moral character and fiber of His Majesties colonies. Unto those unconcerned with His Majesty Waste grants the ability to destroy Homesteaded property.
Committing Vandalism
WARNING! Committing an act of Vandalism will leave Summonable Evidence that may result being sent to the Stocks or worse!
Waste, otherwise known as Vandalism, is an act of Crime where a structure, protected by a Stake Claim is attacked, Destroyed, or set on Fire with Greek Fire. Waste will leave a Scent and Summonable Evidence which will remain for 11 days. Acts of Vandalism cannot be committed against structures protected by a Town Bell and instead require a Trial by Fire to be built over the Town.
