I don't really get why nation applications would be necessary, but I like the /nation command. +1

 

I was thinking about this - but there must be a way to separate these two types of nations.

 

+1. This is something I've pondered on a solution to since president. This is a really nicely put option.

I like this idea

 

Because the current nation system is far too antiquated to use. If we intend to use the system, we need to make it usable.

 

So - should we remove the nation question from the President application, add "Nation Application" and "Nation Addition Application" forms for Presidents+, and add a question about whether an additional town is part of a nation or not on their respective applications?

Nations are currently pointless, this suggestion would be a nice addition that would hopefully not be too code-intensive for Jamie. :p

Before you ask, yes, this is possible, however, the way it would work would be very complex.
Yes, I can do it.

Nah, it's just a mess of the way you can handle what nation represents what towns, and who is a valid owner.

 

I wasn't talking about your side of things, I meant the policy side. Which is an easy enough fix but would need a discussion.

 

Complex? How? It's literally just worldguard parent regions with the selected towns being the child regions. It has actually been done before after I suggested it to andrew (but then he made it so every single town I owned would be in the parent region instead of just the 4 towns I wanted in there. So I never actually made use of it. Nobody really. it got removed.)

A proper parent region implementation is all that's needed. The only custom coding it requires is a command for GAs to abstract it away from worldguard. (which is even less complex than the settown command anyway)

 

I do have a few concerns though...

What happens if a town is sold to a new user?
How do we add/remove towns? Or would we be able to?
Would there be separate things to apply for?

 

Ah, interesting, haven't thought of that.

 

1. If you sell a town in a/your nation to someone else, well, you probably shouldn't. Not without de-linking the town from the nation.
2. Pres+ Applications.
3. Well ideally national chat channels perhaps? Maybe a nation gets its own forum account. Who knows. Biggest feature is adding/removing people from the nation.
