Militia members are now subject to placement on their militia's Active
Roster.

Players who are on the Active Roster for a militia are open to attack
from warring militia members at any time. Numerous activities and
circumstances will result in your being placed on the Active Roster,
notably the following:

- Any ordering of troops will place you on the Active Roster
- If a member of your militia performs any troop ordering activity
within five rooms of your location, you will be placed onto the Active
Roster
- If you attack any citizen of a city you are at war with, you will be
placed on the Active Roster
- If you attack any militia member, regardless of whether you are at war
with that individual's city, you will be placed on the Active Roster
- If you spend significant time within a Contested Area (to be
explained), you will be placed on the Active Roster

Contested areas are those areas that are under threat due to the
presence of opposing troops. An area is declared as Contested if either
of the following are true:

- An attack on opposing troops will cause an area to become Contested
- The presence of troops from warring cities within 14 rooms of one
another will cause an area to become Contested

An area remains Contested as long as either of the above are true, and
for approximately thirty minutes after they are last fulfilled.

Cities are NEVER Contested areas.

For every second that a player is within a contested area, an internal
counter will increment by one. When that counter reaches thirty, they
will be placed on the active roster. The counter decrements by one every
thirty seconds a player is NOT in a contested area. The counters are
irrelevent if a player is already on the Active Roster.

Players remain on the Active Roster for their militia until six hours of
playtime have passed during which no activities that would trigger
placement on the Active Roster have been performed.

MWHO <city> ACTIVE will show who is on the Active Roster for a militia.

CITY MILITIA CONTESTED will show areas that are Contested, but may only
be performed at the Barracks or War Room of the player's home city.
