This is going to make SoI even more dependent on regions which staff obviously dont want since they completely removed the buff on SoI from democracy which gave nations controlling regions tons of range. This just isnt a good idea and would make a 30 minute region mid-siege potentially completely change the outcome of a siege to an even greater extent than it already does

I think there are far larger issues that still need to be addressed with SoI like the forts made or being passed around between nations only to have SoI for certain sieges. It was partly done with overextension, though we have already seen attempts to bypass it before the forts rollback this week. If a nation gained control of a region and was able to join a siege thanks to it, I think they should have the ability to stay in the siege in the same way the new nation that gained control of the region during the siege gets to join the siege. Else, if the nation that had control of the region has to leave the siege, then I believe it will only be fair that the nation that gained control of it doesn't get to join the siege/s it gets to be in range of for that weekend, as it can heavily influence/turn the outcome of that siege.
