Actually the technical issues were on the forum side.Evil Wolf wrote:Heh, I can see how that would be a problem. People would just run around "recreating" nations of founders that had CTEd, thus making them instant founders of established regions. Also killing the Crasher sub-game, might I add.

When this point was being discussed before, on the Jolt forum, we were told (officially) that if & when re-using any names is ever made possible the names of nations that had been resolution authors or issue authors -- along with 'Maxtopia', nations under whose names admins and mods had operated, and Mod-deleted nations -- would still be kept out of the pool.

This has been discussed more thoroughly in another thread, but the only real problem right now is the Founder issue (and similar: e.g. dead authors of WA resolutions). It's not a show-stopper, I just haven't thought of an efficient way of checking whether an ex-nation is a Founder/resolution author/etc.

[violet] wrote:Correct, but we're talking about setting the bar fairly low to have your nation name permanently reserved. I suspect there is a very large number of nation names that were only ever used briefly and long ago.
