* Tags can agree to UNAPs in game. These could even be published on the forums, perhaps on a time delay.
* Tag admins can assign roles to their members to limit how they can landgrab players in other tags.
* Players cannot play untagged or detag.
* Special attacks cannot be done unless a tag declares war on another tag and a certain amount of time passes before war starts.
* The restart bonus only applies once per country.
* A player can define a six hour time period each day where they cannot log in but they also cannot be attacked.
* NPC countries can retal
This would make it much safer for tags to accept new countries, would limit the power of an FS, would limit stonewalling alerts in the middle of the night, and would give tags more options to deal with suiciders. But is that enough to make the game fun and to give a clear identity for the server? It seems that there's a group of players who does not care at all about their ending NW and there's a group of players who only cares about their ending NW. I do not know how to reconcile the two groups.
Just eliminate all the outside tools then let the game work. Why go to all the trouble of everything you just described above? It will eventually turn in a game where you can only attack someone on your grandmother’s birth day on a new moon during a leap year while Haley’s Comet is passing by.
The game is fine. Leave it alone. Just remove all the exterior tools.
Imagine. You’re a new player. Game looks pretty cool so you give it a go. You’re suicided by your friendly neighbor psychofly while you’re trying to get a handle on the game, but you’re like… ok, I can fight back. So you fight back. Then 30 seconds later your country is destroyed because all the basement nerds got pings on their phones.
How long do you think that guys is going to stick around for? And why? To be destroyed constantly.
If this game had 100 clans and 3,000 there might be an argument for the outside tools but at the moment, other than maybe a clan website or a place to make communication a little easier, ban the outside tools.
Leave the rest of the game alone.
I agree with the Blackest Of Holes 100%.
