This is just a thought that flew into my head this morning, and I don't know if you've considered it at all yet.

I was thinking that four new member groups be made for the role players in Chowretat; one for each of the countries. People with an active character in the corresponding country is added to the group. That way, the world manager can send a group PM whenever important updates, kingdom events or similar is going down. I know updates are already posted in the kingdoms, but I thought this could be a way to ensure no one misses it.

We can't do that, sadly, because we're not an RP site that has character accounts. So, where the permissions are sorted by age, the moment we add them into another user group, it negates those. Then, the second problem we run into is for those who have characters in multiple kingdoms, they can't be in multiple usergroups with the proper sorting.

It'd be an idea we could implement if we were a world site and, if something changes, we'll certainly keep it in mind because it's a cool idea! But, for the time being, it's not feasible for how CF is set up, unfortunately.

Doesn't phpBB have group options where a single member is able to be part of more than one usergroup with one group as the main identifier? I used to have a phpBB based Harry Potter roleplay where I had the members sorted by house but I was also able to put them in groups for the clubs they joined and the group leader was able to mass pm users in that specific group without effecting the main group. I just can't remember if that was an additional plugin or part of the base software.

If you are interested in making this idea happen, I could do the research for you. If you fear it would be to much hassle, I understand. I also don't know how you have CF setup in the backend, so it may still just not be possible with your settings. ^^

Mostly it has to be with how the board at large is set up. The persistent world is a smaller aspect of the site itself and not the main focus overall. Plus, given how we only allow everyone to have one account and not more than one, people who played multiple characters would end up in multiple groups for really no reason. Should Chow ever get to the point where it would need its own site and such, we would allow people to make more than one "Character Account" with the characters being placed into Kingdom groups.

It is not a matter not knowing how to do it, but more that having the groups at this time does not make much sense. However, your willingness to help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
