Embassies

[Ballotonia]

As for the news page.... "The point is: nothing is worse." Come on, it's not the worst. It's in fact not a bad feature at all. I like this! (my grumping won't start until this gets expanded to Annex )

Also, the reject embassy request button is broken. >_<

How so?

After clicking 'reject' the request stays in the list of requests.

When I press the button, it notes that the embassy request was rejected, but it doesn't clear the request off the table.

Find a better way to display the pending embassies than a whole line for each one thats double spaced, because that takes up an entire screens worth in my puppet dump and thats just with the regions -I- control;

Done for regions with more than 10 or 11 pending embassies.

Change the "No." message given when 2 different regions with the same founder attempt to create embassies to "NO U."

You should only get the brusque "No" when you try to establish embassies with yourself, i.e. the same region. I've created embassies between two different regions with the same nation as Founder.

So I should send the request, jump to the other region, accept the request. Or get a life, I guess, but sending and accepting ~1300 embassy requests to myself will probably be quicker and will achieve more in the long run.

Currently to have diplomatic ties, nations sometimes create a 'Embassy of..' nation to post in that region. It would be great if we could set an embassy flag, and using the embassy links (when they're built) to post in that region under 'Embassy of nation', and in any post made, have the [nation][/nation] tags automatically included in the embassy post made, so we know who made the post through the embassy in that particular region. It should be a founder and delegate ability though.

Forgive me if this issue has been raised already, but I like how the requests remain in your folder even after they are rejected. It allows regions to revisit the issue of diplomacy later on, and prevents repeat notices if an embassy is rejected.

However, can rejected embassy requests be marked in some way so that forgetful delegates/founders don't have to look over their request folder and try to think if they remembered to reject someone, or if it slipped their mind? The only place this is recorded is Regional Happenings.

@ [violet]

Are you planning on adding embassies to the XML feeds?

[CommiesUnited]

Why were my posts deleted?

[Sedgistan]

Why were my posts deleted?

They weren't, and your post has nothing to do with this topic. See here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=101989

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

I must be missing something...

Is the actual "ban" button missing from the Banlist in Regional Control, or is it just me?

[Sedgistan]

Yeah, the "eject" and "eject and ban" buttons seem to have disappeared.

[[violet]]

Yeah, the "eject" and "eject and ban" buttons seem to have disappeared.

Right. Founders can no longer eject nations from regions.





Okay, that was a bug. Fixed.

[Solm]

When I reject a person's embassy request, the request still exists on the regional administration. Is there a specific time slot as to when they disappear?

[[violet]]

That's a bug, but not a critical one so I'll probably get to it next week.

What do they do? EVERYTHING. Or nothing. It depends how you look at it. Technically nothing. Except make your region much more visible to anyone looking at the other region. And demonstrate your worth in interregional diplomacy. And possibly some stuff we'll add later. So basically everything.

The point is: nothing is worse.

An eternal optimist.

Embassies. As in I gotta do stuff. We already have diplomats and embassies. Gojira and TRR and AdSpam1 and what's his toes are diplomats. They bring the funny and the beer. What more do you want from life?

Dammit [violet] why? The GCRs have had embassies forever. We have them because Ulthar built it's community based on the concept of inter-regional gameplay (well, stole the idea from Yggdrasil) and friends of our friends foisted, I mean asked nicely, and I was in no position to say no.

The frat's proud diplomatic corps:
Pinto Kroger
Whut the Hell
Cousin Whut the Hell
Blasted But Vertical

I fear it takes some wind out of our sails of sarcasm to add this stuff to gameplay.

The Bore on the Floor of Animal House Recruiter - 1 day 5 hours ago
I sincerely doubt anything can reduce the air pressure on our winds of sarcasm.

We are moths to your flame of shiny icons and graphs. I do like the [warning: off topic content] change to influence that requires that we play the game. I think that any region power tweaks involving an embassy metric ought to consider that some regions are exchanging them like Pokemon cards.

Believe it or not, my region's somewhat impaired ambassadors contribute what they can to the regions they moved to as part of our parody of Ulthar's serious effort at building diplomatic relationships.

[TannerFrankLand]

Is it intentional for founders not to be able to request embassies while outside of a region?

I cannot request as founder of The Revolution to open an embassy in Topid...

It is no big deal, since I simply requested from Topid to The Rev, and then The Rev could accept it even though my founder is out of the region. But it would be a hassle if I wanted other embassies for The Rev.

[Spooky Orion Bowshock]

just a joke. Quoted from the NS news page, by Max himself:

"What do they do? EVERYTHING. Or nothing"
"The point is: nothing is worse."

Conclusion: The new embassy feature is "technically nothing", and we know now nothing is worse, so the new feature is worse..

that is only half true though, because it is just as much "technically EVERYTHING," funny nonetheless

I found a small bug in the HTML coding. Each line in the three embassy tables in the region controls/admin pages do not properly terminate with a </tr> tag.

My script barked at me, but the problem turned out to not be in my code.

IDEA

Make the delegate of the region with the most embassies the Secretary-General of the World Assembly.

Possible powers:

• Additional voting power (maybe 100 votes)
• Sorting proposals in queue (i.e., deciding which of the proposals that has reached quorum will be the next one to reach the floor for voting by the World Assembly at-large)
• Reducing the requisite amount of delegate approvals for a specific proposal from six percent to five percent
• Extending the voting period and/or approval period for a proposal by 24 hours
• Ability to post comments in a special box on the World Assembly main page

Oh, goody, a popularity contest! :V

[Improving Wordiness]

I am afraid that idea would be open to abuse. It is very easy to create multiple regions with puppets and open numerous embassies.

[Unfocused Extremism]

This seems to be a bug involving an interaction between the RMB support and Embassies.

This nation was attempting to send a message to the RMB of The Bad Place slightly before the Bad Place's embassy with The Circle of Badularity was finalized. I hit the "Preview" button, and the page was reshown, with no preview, and with the button grayed out and reading "Preview loading". A reshow of the page changed the button to read "Preview", but it was still grayed out. I saved the message I was trying to send, did a few other things with the nation, and then tried to send the message again. At this point, the creation of the Embassy had been completed, and this time I was able to successfully preview (and send) the message.

What's the amount of Embassies a region have got to do with the World Assembly?

[Ballotonia]

Hmm, maybe I can make them re-orderable.

Yeah, okay, it's easier than I thought. You'll be able to re-order.

How? I'm unable to figure this out. Sorry.

I'm on Google Chrome, Windows XP, and lets say I look at the page of Eastern Islands of Dharma

Embassies: Capitalist Paradise, The North Pacific, Guanxi, Bohemian Grove, Dreamworld, and 7 others.

When I click on the 'And 7 others', it takes me to the nation page instead of a list of the embassies.

anyone else got this problem?
