Petition to have [ and ] allowed in galaxy names.

Self-explanatory I think...

Re: Petition to have [ and ] allowed in galaxy names.

I feel sure there was some good reason for them not being available in gal names, but as it was quite a long time ago I can't remember what this is and why.
Can't check it instantly, but can get back to you on it when I've found out.

As far as having them in gal names goes, I don't see a problem with it although we'll probably end up with gal names with more tags than names...

Re: Petition to have [ and ] allowed in galaxy names.

If memorie servers correctly it was due to people inserting html code as the galaxy names.

So perhaps the question should be "why are they not allowed?"

Re: Petition to have [ and ] allowed in galaxy names.

I thought it was something with the coding of the game, where [ meant something in the language, and would **** it up, unless they added a small thingy which made it possible. However, they never got arsed around doing that, so...

No, I know nothing of coding, so I can't give any extra info, but I seem to recall something being said about this in CH or somethingl ike that.

Re: Petition to have [ and ] allowed in galaxy names.

thats why < and > are banned, i believe [ and ] were banned because there were entire galaxy names filled with nothing but tags, sheer spammage of alliance badges. Ofc now with bb codes, [ and ] may be problematic to bring back

edit : fs keyboard - start working and stop typoing

no one wants to see the names, they wanna see the alliance tags.

Re: Petition to have [ and ] allowed in galaxy names.

Exclamation Re: Petition to have [ and ] allowed in galaxy names.

I bet the original problem was that players wanted longer galaxy names because they couldn't fit all their alliance tags into the name. PA responded by disallowing square brackets. Problem solved!

Seriously though, the tag problem seems to wax and wane with private v. random galaxies. Maybe the solution is to have a separate field for tags?

The tag problem is that there's only a relatively small number of characters in the galaxy name. In rounds where there are more alliances per galaxy (due to random placement and/or larger galaxy sizes) there may not be enough room for all the tags. Allowing brackets makes tags easier to see (and parse), but then they also take up more space.

but that is wholy more interesting that

look at us were 1337 86:8 2.278.253.129


in the past tagging used to play a big part, not just for those in the allies who tagged, but those who wernet in the top allies, and even though they arent in the loop they can see whos, who etc, the tags were bold and clear.

Re: Petition to have [ and ] allowed in galaxy names.

It's players decisions if they want their galaxy name full of tags, there were only a handful of galaxies where the names actually mattered. Players have asked for this since it was removed.

I think a good way to handle tags might be to hard code something about displaying alliance makeup, in the mean time though like everyone else said, the decision was before my time, so i'll have to find ouy for you.

That's even simpler:

Code:
$galname = addslashes($_POST["name"]);
mysql_query("UPDATE galaxy SET galname = '$galname' WHERE x='$coord_x' AND y='$coord_x' LIMIT 1");
aaaaand.....

Code:
$name = mysql_query("SELECT galname FROM galaxy WHERE x='$coord_x' AND y='$coord_y'");
$raw_name = mysql_fetch_array($name);
$galname = $raw_name["galname"];
$galname = stripslashes($galname);
Even though I'm not sure about the stripslashes bit, since I'm not the one who coded PA. But in any case, escaping HTML tags in galnames requires very few lines of code.

Edit:
Oh, I almost forgot: *signed*

Re: Petition to have [ and ] allowed in galaxy names.

Wouldn't it be easier if alliance HC's have the option to make all their planets visible.
Give us back the alliance tag next to the name

With the added bonus of everyone knowing which planets aren't in an alliance and therefore are easy targets to hit night after night after night as a way of introducing them to the game!!! There's numerous posts about the pros and cons of showing planet tags and the essential arguments haven't changed since last time around.
