Alliance markers

I know we have various tags that show in the attack list. Alliance friendly, PPT, peace, war,etc.

Could we get a new option to tag on accounts or entire alliances that indicate they should be avoided when raiding and attacking? Not visible to anyone but you, but a reminder that I should avoid this account or entire alliance? It could be in the same location as the relations buttons, but would be helpful to remind one of the sometimes long list of groups or individuals that should not be touched. Peace is visible and could draw undue attention to the one setting said relation status. This would be more of an intelligence reminder. Say you attack someone with huge defense and want to remind yourself not to repeat that mistake. Or maybe your alliance says such and such other groups should never be touched.

Would be helpful. I have failed to recognize a group that was on my former alliance "DO NOT TOUCH' list and do not want to peace all these groups, but have a hard time keeping track of said formidable opponents.

Just an idea.

just find one member of former no touch alliance, and hit set all to neutral .. the friendly setting set by former alliance leader on them shouldn't carry over..

I'm not sure you've quite understood the first post, femme (or maybe I didn't) :)
From what I gather, ertyuio wants something like 'Declare Peace' ('Do Not Touch'?), only without actually letting the other player(s) know they were added to the do-not-touch list.

That's what I got from it, and it seems like a great idea.

This^

It could be used to help smaller alliances avoid the big guys.:it could be used by lone wolves to avoid any alliance they might get massed by. It wouldn't be a relation status as much a self only marker to avoid a target. Can't remember the name of that one guy with the terrible huge defense you accidentally farmed one time? Put a marker on him and you won't forget.

To take the idea a step further, alliance leaders could be given the option to set the DO NOT TOUCH flag for all their members. Same with commanders and their officers. Declaring peace as it is now notifies the target, which might cause the target to decide to make a move against the one declaring peace, knowing they have a 24 hour period which the one making said declaration is unable to retaliate.

If peace could have the option to be declared without notifying the target, this would also suffice. This would require less actual code effort. Setting war or neutral would obviously still be notification worthy, as they should. Just tossing alternatives and additions out there for y'all.
