Mechanical Way for Government Officials to See Citizenship

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Mechanical Way for Government Officials to See Citizenship

Post by jmm2222 »

As a player that has been part of Governmental bodies on the server from time to time, it would be highly useful if there was a way for those in Elected/Assigned positions (Chancellor, Mayor, etc) to be able to ask the Settlement Representative (Whatever the person that gives Citizenship is called) for a list of all concurrent citizens, or a simple way that an Examine would show what settlement the target is part of, though I can see that being abused.

More or less: Citizenship shouldn't be overly hard to prove for someone, and currently the only way to mechanically know if someone is a citizen is to drag them to the Settlement Representative and have them speak to them and check the Dialog spoken, and even that feels scummy and meta, at least to me.

If there is not a known way that this might be abused I am all for this.

This used to exist. It was removed for one reason or another.

Without the ability to remove citizens, I think that this is less of an issue. But I still think it is an issue. I think it can reveal things like say, parties gathering to gain power in an area, leading to more stablization of governments and - honestly? I'm really not sure I like that idea at all. Rejected.
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
