I'm making sure you don't try to leave the building.

Would you rather me stay here, then?

No. We have guards stationed.

Adjacent territories, usually.

@Techspert

Makes sense! Wouldn't want to lose your territory, right?

It's effectively a large game of Risk.

I've never played that!

It is a fun game, regardless of the implications.

Do people not just settle? I know conquering territories on planets is hard once everybody has their countries because then you need a big war and have to topple the government and install your own and everything, but how does it even work with territories?

*rolls my eyes*
Ok. Well, anyways, I'm going to my office, to do that paperwork. If they wanna follow me like dogs, then let them.

Perhaps they will, perhaps they will.

@whizzball1

Dimensions are typically left out of it. Could you ask your question in a different way?

How do you, like, conquer a territory?

@whizzball1

It is effectively exerting one's control, presence, and influence over a dimensional region. Typically, the owner of the territory will defend it and attempt to prevent a takeover. The more territory you have, the more strength you likely have at your disposal. Of course, you could run out if in nonstop battles, but for the most part, that's how it works.

@Techspert

How does this territory thing know that you own a territory and somebody else doesn't? What do you mean by control? What do you have to control?

Do you know how Tier Five exerted control over all of Existence? They had special privileges due to their class?

@Techspert

Didn't they just have a lot of power to do whatever they wanted? And they could make rules using the System?

@whizzball1

It's effectively a similar concept, but on a smaller scale. The larger your territory, the more power you can store and call upon at a given time.

@Techspert

But how do you get territory?

@whizzball1

After you've managed to eliminate the control of its previous owner? I couldn't tell you what it's like to actually claim one because I've never done it—I'm what one might call a "roamer," someone who navigates Existence without any territories or allegiances.
