Village management wish list

[Potjeh]

1) Square village claims. Seriously. Circles don't work with the rest of the game at all.

2) Village membership management. Right clicking on the idol brings up a member list if you're an authority figure in that village. Also, it brings up a list of people that have petitioned for membership. Some of the options with these lists:
- grant membership (for petitioners only, naturally)
- kick from village
- add to group (groups work like kin colours, but it should use numbers instead because you can only have so many easily distinguishable colours) - multiple group membership should be possible
- kick from group

3) Access management. Village claim objects are the basis of this. Right click on a flag or whatever to assign permissions for that flag's area to various character groups. It should be possible to group and ungroup authority objects, so that changing permissions on one changes them on the whole group. Also, a smaller area authority object would be neat to have, if you just want to protect a single tree, a meat grinder or whatever. Would be neat if it could be built indoors.

4) Temporary access permissions. Basically, tickets that are good for a specified number of uses or a specified amount of time in a specified village area. Useful for selling mining licences, shop licences, branch picking licences on high q trees etc.

1) Yeah, we know.

2) Yeah, I know.

3) Somesuch, maybe

4) It's an idea we've considered at some length.

I would like to see an 'embassy' type function. Where a village can appoint a 'Diplomat' who travels to another village, That village then appoints him an 'Ambassador' Where he act with some amount of authority that is attatched to an authority object or group thereof. That ambassador would be able to place signs on Crossroads within his jurisdiction and preform all functions as if he were a member of the village in the allotted area. Likewise, members of his village can do so as well at the discretion of the Host village.

Whether or not an ambassador has rights to interact with objects in the rest of the village or take signs from corssroads in his area would be Something the Authirty of the Village proper can dictate.

The variability of power is rather important because given these functions 'trade cities' like brodgar's market can spring up because people could carve out a small section of the village for themselves.

Also, Ambassadorial privlidges should only be able to be revoked by the mutual order of BOTH Lawspeakers of the relevant villages.

Sounds overly convoluted.

Ticketing system is simpler.

[Chakravanti]

But dosen't allow a 'market village' concept.

Sounds overly convoluted.

Ticketing system is simpler.

How long until I can forge my own tickets?

I like the ambassador/embassy idea a bit more than tickets, but I think both should be put into play.

And a web interface so I can do it from work (maybe from the forums, or on second thoughts perhaps something more secure)
