FactionsUUID

I'd appreciate it if you could pay for the [resource](http://www.spigotmc.org/resources/factionsuuid.1035/) if your server makes money. If you only run your server for your kids or some friends and don't make any money, then I don't want to stop you from doing so by forcing you to buy a $15 plugin. If that's the case, then just send me a message and we can work something out.

The repo is open because of that and because I still hope to see people contributing upstream :)

This plugin will allow the players on the server to create factions/guilds. The factions can claim territory that will be protected from non-members. Factions can forge alliances and declare themselves enemies with others. Land may be taken from other factions through war.

The goals of this plugin:

 * The players should be able to take care of anti-griefing themselves.
 * Inspire politics and intrigues on your server.
 * Guilding and team spirit! :)
 * Auto convert old 1.6.9.x versions to save with UUIDs.

Versioning
----------
All versions prefixed with `1.6.9.5` as that is the legacy version.
