I sent you a forum message regarding resolving this for your brother. Check that at your leisure, please.

Well, I started the road to your charter last week it actually leads pretty close by it your look north along the shoreline. I had brought it in low so it’s at water level. My intent was to build a boardwalk of sorts. It won’t happen for a bit though but that was the intent at least.

Freebuild is coming a bit later but basically yes we want to keep the freebuild area seperate from charters to avoid alot of the nastiness we got this map from it. It’s a lot smaller in an area though and more contained to a specific area of the map. Here’s the original post btw https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/178769-charter-system-your-view/

So that, in my opinion, is more of a war system thing like rebelling but if a nation revokes their sponsorship the group just goes back to being a charter if that makes any sense?

Hia folks here’s the whole lot for the land systems of Arcas. You guys have already seen the Charter System but this is with changes made based on what the community said last time so let me know thoughts on it as is. Credit to AGiantPie for the idea for reclaiming old builds btw we did include that. We’re trying to get all the details for Nations and all that on paper now so nothing is an unwritten rule and so it’s super clear for players and staff on how to interact with the land system! NATION SYSTEM Charters that demonstrate a high level of player engagement can achieve Nation Status. LotC rewards Nations that strive for the best with unique benefits that help maintain their streak of rich roleplay. Becoming A Nation Gain Nation Status You can apply for Nation Status as long as the following is true, 1) You have a full non-probation charter. 2) You have met the activity requirements for at least one month. 3) You are not a Dependant charter. Nation Status Application, Group Name: Charter Application: If your submission is acceptable then you will enter a two-month probation period. You must maintain Nation-level activity for the entire two months. If we deny your application you may re-apply in two-weeks. Maintaining and Losing Nation Status If your Nation has passed the probation period yet falls below minimum activity for three consecutive weeks we will issue a warning. If you fail two weeks more we will downgrade your Nation to a tier 3 charter. Benefits of Nation Status 1) 200 x 200 protected area with the ability to expand further into your home tile 2) A free green ss pillar 3) A free mine 4) A free banker 5) A free auctioneer 6) Road signage 7) High-speed road connection (Aka fast roads) ? Ability to have dependent status groups 9) Access to Nation Leader Discord Controlling Tiles Tiles have three possible states. An uncontrolled tile has no Nation or Nation-dependent group on that tile. A contested tile has more than one charter not under the same allegiance. Finally, a tile is controlled when one owning party has full control over the charter regions within. In order to convert a contest tile to controlled, all other groups must either convert into dependants, leave, or collapse. DEPENDENT SYSTEM A Dependent is described as a group whom for various reasons belongs to and is an apart of a nation statused group and meets a few criteria. The Information & Process for gaining Dependent Status Gain Dependent Status You can apply for Dependent Status as long as the following is true, 1) You have a charter (Probationary Period does not prohibit this). 2) You have a willing Nation who will sponsor you. 3) The charter must be in an adjacent tile that is controlled by the Sponsoring Nation Nation Status Application, Group Name: Charter Application: Nation sponsoring: If your submission is acceptable then you will finish out whatever remains of your charters probationary period if applicable and you will be granted the benefits associated with being a dependent. Losing Dependent Status There are only two ways to lose your dependent status, Either have it revoked by your sponsoring nation above in which case you go back to your original chartered status or you fail to meet the continuing requirements of your charter and are thus no longer eligible for your Dependent status either. Benefits of Nation Status 1) Grants Tile Access for Sponsor 2) Paid Access to a Soul Stone Pillar 3) Paid Access to a mine. Tile Access, When a dependent group is formed inside of a tile and is the first of its nature there it expands that nations influence into that tile. Allowing for that tile to now become a contested tile for the sponsoring nation. A dependent can only give full control of a tile once the regular criteria for a controlled tile are met and the dependent is no longer in charter probation. CHARTER SYSTEM A Charter is defined as regioned parcel of land granted to an individual who completes the requirements for the selected tier of charter. The Information & Process for gaining a Charter Application Process: 1) Submit a Charter Application for the land you desire. 2) Begin the two week wait. Use this time to collect signatures and submit minas. 3) Finally, a staff member claims, evaluates, and processes your application. a) When Accepted you enter the probation period. b) When Denied, the charter is archived. You may retry. Charter Application: The Charter of [name of land] Submitted by [owner’s roleplay name] « [owner’s minecraft name] » ● Located at coordinates (X, Y, Z) ● Tier level of [#] We wish to upgrade our charter. (NO: remove this, YES: provide link to charter) OR We wish to relocate our charter. (NO: remove this, YES: provide link to charter) Charter Probation Excellent, your charter is accepted! We now flag your region and monitor it for one months and verify you meet the criteria for activity. If you succeed, we remove your probation status. Though, if you fail, we must delete your region. Though even after probation you will continue to be monitored but more flexibility will be offered. Where can I place my Charter? Got a place you’re interested in? Compare it to the conditions below. ● No other Charter already claimed that spot. ● You’re at least 125 blocks away from any other Charter or Nation Region or Resource pit. ● You’re not inside the Cloud Temple Ring. ● You’re not in a tile owned by a nation or in contested territory. ● You are not in the Freebuild Wilds. ● You do not own any other land. * If you are relocating, then you may only do so if you are not at war. * Keep in mind when you choose your location, your Charter can only be dependent on Nations adjacent to your tile. I want to upgrade or relocate my Charter. First of all, your Charter must pass the probation period. Then, choose a location that is the same or smaller tier and be ready to pay half the price of that land. If you wish to upgrade—you must gather all the signatures. However, you only pay the difference for the cost in minas. Your Charter will re-enter the probationary period for two months. If you fail your land will only revert to the original size—however, you will need to pass another two-month probation to keep the land altogether. Can I use the land of a former Charter that went inactive? Absolutely. In fact, you can purchase or relocate to abandoned land at a 35% discount! After a charter is abandoned the build and all its facilities will be kept for at least two weeks if others express interest in the build or staff would like to repurpose it for events and such. We would like to declare dependency on a Nation. You may apply at any time for Dependant status—even during probation. We would like to ascend to Nation status. You must reach Nation-level activity. Then, you may apply for Nation status and enter a two month probationary period. You must maintain Nation-level activity for the entire two months. Charter Tier’s Tier 1 - Hamlet 50 x 50 block region Seven signatures Three-thousand Five-hundred minas Tier 2 - Village 100x 100 block region Fifteen signatures Twelve-thousand minas Tier 3 - City 150x150 block region Thirty signatures Twenty-four-thousand five-hundred minas Tier 4 - Special 200x200 block region Only granted under specific circumstances not applicable for new or upgrading charters. Such as Nations who lose their Nation status as to not cut up their city with a shrinking region.

The building, By far.

The Auction is solely for Nations to have a system for determining who gets which plots. Since we have a limited amount of them we needed some system for settling disputes instead of having people flip coins or have wcs over it. As I said in the freebuild/Charter your view post we have every intention of implementing a system for the little guys. This auction is purely just for nations to get their tiles sorted out. And really any group that qualifies for land will get land there’s more of it then there are nations so it’s not used to weed people out just as a prioritizing tool for picking from the limited pool. Nations only get one plot as well. Hope that addresses your concerns somewhat

Because whoever created your activity region made it the size of a thumbtack. This mistake wasn’t noted till Heathen noticed it during our staff meeting today. Since we can’t prove it on the same standard as all other groups we just have to wait and let the data be recorded.

Added at the bottom

An issue was identified with your activity rg in the last 5 minutes. The situation is more complex since we have no data on gladewynn so they probably will get land they just won't be in the auction sadly.

One of the many reasons they’re on the maybe list

Hi, Folks as always it’s Seventh here. Today I’m outlining how the auction process will occur and important dates during the two-week process we’re about to undergo. Let me first make something absolutely crystal clear THIS IS NOT THE ONLY CHANCE TO GET LAND. Don’t fret if your group isn’t one of the groups selected for the first land auction. Groups who meet activity after this point will be able to select from the remaining areas of land. Up until 2 weeks from the launch of 7.0. The First week (November 16th to November 23rd) will be focused on showing what’s available and ensuring nations/groups who will be participating in the initial land auction have all their questions answered. During this time all plots available for bidding will have extensive photo albums created (Down below, Parties participating can request photos as needed) We will also ask each member participating to ensure they have their minas gathered this time will also be used for general question and answering for groups involved. The goal of this week is to ensure all participating members are fully informed and know which areas they’re interested in. The Second Week (24th - 30th) will be when the actual bidding process will take place. This will occur in the Nation Leader Discord. Where each tile will have a channel in which bids can be placed in 500 mina minimum increments. Bidding will close on either the 30th or in a hotly contested bid it will close 12 hours after the last bid anytime after the 30th. As a reminder of, course getting land now is NOT a golden ticket to 7.0 you are expected to maintain activity until launch. For groups who did not make it into the land auction at current fret not, there is still time to receive land if you meet the activity requirements. After reviewing the data collected through the activity plugin we set the bar for Nation Status server activity. Groups who met this are: Renatus Sutica Belvits Haense (PS the order means nothing here) The following groups are either to close for us to cut outright or fall under strange circumstances and will be invited to participate in the first week and will be rechecked before bidding starts to see if they are fully confirmed. Curon Dominion Nordengrad Fenn Agnarum Arberrang (PS the order means nothing here) If you are one of these groups leaders reach out to me so I can get something set up for you. My discord is Seventh#9260.
