Some Ideas Regarding Realm Diplomacy / Realms in General

Realm / Alliance MotD's: Realm / alliance message of the days would be set by realm/ alliance leaders and would allow for realm leaders to easily communicate important messages to everyone in their realm no matter what, such as "We are at war with: " or "Try selling this, we have a lot of it." /realm motd <Message> and /alliance motd <Message>.
Visitor Block Destruction: Similar control to /realm private, /realm visitorblocks would make it so that visitors can destroy blocks. This would be required in a war where Destruction is an allowed Rule of Engagement. It is important to have this rather than /realm private as the control, as setting the realm to public means that anyone can join the realm and messes with the dynamic of the war.
Alliances as Recognized Entities: Typing /alliance create <Alliance Name> will create an alliance. It has no physical properties to it other than allowing for allied realms to converse with each other privately, as well as further legitimizing alliances. Instead of inviting players, alliances invite entire realms by /alliance invite <Realm Name>. The message is then posted to the realm's realm leaders, where the response /alliance join <Alliance that invited you> will connect you in the alliance.
Alliance Chat: Typing /a chats to everyone in the alliance just as /r types to everyone in the realm. Typing /alliance members performs the respective function of /realm members as well. Alliance chat would be in its own color.
Special Privileges to Visitors: Typing /realm privilege <Player name> will recognize that player as one who can enter the realm regardless of visitor settings. However, the privileged visitor still must abide by /realm buckets, /realm pvp, /realm private, etc. This is helpful in the event that your army hires mercenaries, or if you just want to let people see your town, or invite certain people to watch a game, say, LBG?
