The Somewhat-Official Warzone Thread

I wonder what percentage of the Nationstates gamers are puppets and inactives.

Well each prominent gameplayer has a minimum of 100 puppets between switchers and sleepers and then there all all of the puppet dumps across NS. And I imagine each NS player has a minimum of 1 regular puppet. I'd say possibly a dozen thousand or so. I may start parking some of mine in the WZs soon

dump them in sandbox there were a few LLA ones I think that just cte'd in WZEU... Our poor population count...

I've got like 10 obvious puppets and 10 sneaky ones that no one knows about. xD

100 - 10 - 10 = 0?

He wasn't talking about you Rifty.

Part of the issue is that it's always much easier to get pilers than it is to get updaters. Asking someone to endorse the delegate? Easy. Asking someone to be online during the update ready to switch between Warzones? A little harder, to say the least.

Have your MoD start training them? He would be an experience updater?

you can only train nations that are willing and are somewhat active. We've sent out regional tgs to get people to volunteer were trying to get some to practice piling etc. Its not working. No one will try or even reply usually.

"each prominent gameplayer"

I fit into his category

Oh it sure is much easier to get pilers over updaters. I don't deal with our military though - I just run the region.

I think that most people in the Warzones are inactive puppets.

Warzone Statistical Report, second issue!

Warzone Statistical Report, second issue!

That's great! I'm suprised that WZAF came out on top in anything, even if it is due to foreign military support.

[Khronion]

Hey, foreign militaries are part of our community too! where would we be without the support of our allies all around nationstates?

[North Campbell Nation]

Warzone Statistical Report, second issue!

Nice. I love that you've also included the growth trends. I'm quite curious if there isn't a way to adjust some of the WA and activity statistics for population in order to compare some of the other prominent regions and get a baseline comparison. Now that would be interesting.

As usual, Warzone Asia is hanging comfortably in second place with its slow but sustainable growth trend.

[The Isles of Random]

The resort will be allowing the embassy with TBR, not because we condone their actions, but because they allow embassy posting for all nations!

You're right about that!

You should add the date(s) of when the data was collected.

I'm hoping that we're about due for another edition of WAR. *nudge nudge, wink wink*

Who likes the idea of turning WZSA into Camp Halg-Blood/ Jupiter?

[Khronion]

You're the delegate, you're in charge! Haha.


Anyhoo... Are any Warzonians interested in putting up a bid for the NS World Fair? Maybe we can see if we can put up a Pan-Warzone bid and try to have a lecture on the gameplay dynamics of the past year or so. Or something. viewtopic.php?f=12&t=316018

[Anonymouslands]

We're going to try to be host region of World Fair!

[Khronion]

I think we'd have better luck making a pan-Warzone bid... There are some pretty big names up there.

Campbell actually mentioned it. My opinion: I say go for it! Even if we don't suceed, it will have been interesting to try.

Glad you like it and I'd be happy to produce a graph with the addition of a few example regions to give a feel. Any suggestions? I could do one that includes the AoI...

Thanks for the suggestion, as of the next issue dates will be added.

I don't know if we have the infrastructure to host but I'm very interested in participation!

Actually, you kind of just jumped the gun on the ongoing TG discussions. I was trying to keep discussion limited until I could put out a reasonably official announcement, but since you've beat me to it…

So far, we were thinking that we'd all join together to have a single regional venue. This would ensure that someone is around to set up, and give us a larger creative pool to draw from in designing things like banners, badges, and fun games. It's another sign of Warzone unity to the world community at large, and it makes sure that even if there's a coup just prior/during the event, we'll still have a region to speak of. With all of this, we'd have everything necessary to put out a top-level venue and cook up a few pleasant surprises for the populace.

As for hosting, while that would be awesome, I am fairly confident we lack the infrastructure, both in population (we'd need to have people online pretty much constantly), technical know-how (we'd need to be able to deal with emergencies fairly quickly), and general stability (it would make us a target) to host such an event. It might be on the horizon, but not in the immediate future.
Now, a lecture of some sort might be in the cards, especially given the moderate level of success of the Warzone Weekly/Warzone Allied Reports/ Whatever periodicals. This is something I would encourage some thinking and TG discussion

[Arekrya]

Oh, I apologize Campbell, I misread your TG, then I started posting of it too early.
