I like the idea overall, streamlining the application process, active lieges, etc. But, I'm not sure I'm sold on the 'vassal town.'
What exactly is the goal with this piece?
The goal with requiring vassal towns:
* Make welcoming new vassals easier. Farms of various kinds, existing nether lines/portals,etc already in place. Less of a burden to get someone onto the server.
* Filters out people who might quit within a few hours and never come back so that lieges don't have to build a new nether line/portal etc. just to have that person leave.
* Gets new applicants in certain places so that it's easier for people to build with them/visit them. Might help retention rates if they are building with others or close to others from the time they are accepted.
Thanks for the question, I should have expanded upon the "why" on this part more!
