A new policy

Addressed to: Everyone
We're pleased to bring you a major update to leasing: policies. With this update you can now:
- Exclude people in organisations from being able to request a given lease.
- Make leases only available to certain organisations.
Both of these can be qualified by ranks, so you could make a lease only available to people who are above rank 1 in Delos or above rank 2 in the Merchants house, for example. You can also exclude enemies.
So, how does it work. Here is a brief run down:
- CITY LEASE POLICY CREATE <informative name>: this creates a policy, as you might expect. You can CITY LEASE POLICY SHOW <policy> to see details at any time.
- CITY LEASE POLICY <policy> SET <MEMBEROF or EXCLUDE <list>: sets the limits. Some examples below.
- CITY LEASE SET <lease> POLICY <your policy>: and you're done! That policy is now attached to that lease. Policies can be attached to as many leases as you require and can be updated at any time. This is because it doesn't impact people if the policy changes after they request, since it only covers whether they can request or not.
So, some policy examples:
- CITY LEASE POLICY SET examplepolicy MEMBEROF CYRENE > 1 MHALDOR > 4 ELEUSIS < 2 HASHAN < 3 TARGOSSAS ASHTAN > 5: A member of any city with rank constraints.
- CITY LEASE POLICY set examplepolicy MEMBEROF CLEAR: clears all member restrictions, anyone can now take the lease.
- CITY LEASE POLICY SET examplepolicy EXCLUDE ENEMIES SHALLAM 3: enemies of the filing organisation are now unable to take the lease, as are members of Shallam with higher than city rank 3.
- CITY LEASE POLICY SET examplepolicy EXCLUDE CLEAR: clears all exclusion restrictions.
- CITY LEASE POLICY SET examplepolicy EXCLUDE ENEMIES: now only exclude organisational enemies.
- CITY LEASE POLICY SET examplepolicy MEMBEROF DELOS > 1 SELEUCAR: now you must not be an enemy and be a member of Seleucar (any rank) or Delos (above city rank 1).
For now, policies only allow you to place restrictions on cities and houses. We may add clans later, but feel it might run counter to the intent behind the leasing system. We will not be adding orders.
Enjoy!
