[Suggestion] NationStates Accounts
Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2021 8:44 am
This suggestion is simple; you can make a single, "master" account, where you can control all of your nations. Like Google's Family Link, except all accounts are yours and it's not annoying.
I think this would be highly beneficial as it would provide a way for players to control all of their alts from a single dashboard (If I'm begging for this with 5 accounts and LibreNS++, don't even try to imagine the reactions of card farmers).
I'm listing below possible problems and my proposed fixes:
Easy. Just require to log in (or get an API verification key) to add a nation to your NS Account. For example, to add Examplonia, input Examplonia's password, to confirm you own Examplonia.
Adding a confirmation checkbox or requiring to input that nation's password should be enough.
Well, then make NS accounts not mandatory. You can freely browse the site and all, you just need a NS account to have the commodity of a dashboard where you manage all your puppets. And if it gets hacked, the password recovery methods we already have in standard nations should do the trick.
What do you think?

Your account is added by other person without your consent or knowledge.

Oh shoot. I accidentally deleted my nation through the dashboard!
Adding a confirmation checkbox or requiring to input that nation's password should be enough.
What if I don't want a NS account? What if it gets hacked?
