Ah I see, true. Reason I got confused is because you said that in response to my statement of 'disbelief' that even in Astrum people were saying 'buying region'. Like there was not even a pretence of RP in the sense that, "yeah I have a claim, for whatever reason and blah blah blah".
Part of that has to do with the fact that most people wouldn't consider the IC option of claim because OOC they know it's 'buying' and that somewhat saddens me.
