Would it be possible for one of the Site Gods™ to capitalize "Bed" in this nation's name? If not, no big deal.

Thanks either way.

No, nation names cannot be altered, because that is what the system uses to identify your nation. Your only options are to live with it or make a new nation

It can only be done by an Admin. I'll poke Ballo. In the meantime, I've capitalized your forumside name.

*raises eyebrow* oh? So are capitalization changes possible, just not actual character changes?

Posted: **Sun Jun 12, 2016 10:45 am**

Yes, capitalization changes are possible with a small caveat:

Forum side limits account names to 20 characters. If the name is over 20 characters, the capitalization can only be changed gameside.

*edit* Ballo took care of gameside so I'm marking this resolved.

In principle, changing spaces to underscores and vice versa also falls under things that can be changed without breaking the game, just like capitalization. I don't think anyone has ever asked for that, though

Interestingly, NS does not allow you to use underscores in nation names.

Huh, it doesn't? I thought it did.

Well, ignore me, then.

Wait,then does that mean i can get my capitalization fixed too.I wany to fix my "federation" word in my nation name to get the F in the federation word capitalized.But my nation name is over 20

Is this only feasible because the capitalisation is stored in a name field which is then referenced by basically doing this:

Code: Select all: nationName.toLowerCase().replace(" ", "_")

To the original nation name?

I was under the impression that it was ill-advised to edit the forumside names over 20 due to how it has to be done, but I see [v] just did that, so we'll just need to be patient and wait for her.

It requires some manual fiddling, yes. But done.

Hi there mods I was just wondering why you could do it for this nation but not for me?

Possibly because you haven't asked before?

The closest was that you once asked for nonstandard letters, which is something very different.

Is it possible to capitalize the name of a region at present, like how its done with nation-names?

At present neither regional officers nor moderators have that ability. While it's possible that admins could add it, I'd have to say that it would be extremely low priority. I don't remember anyone else ever asking.

Alright, thanks.

Violet merciful, if theres ever a chance you want to change my regions name to 'The United Nations of Liberalia', that would be wonderful. Thanks in advance in the unlikely event.
