I haven't played this game for a little while now but this seems like a really cool feature that might keep things fresh a bit longer. I like it. :)

edit: Is it possible to disable by default the banners that are no longer relevant?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but you certainly can turn banners off and on individually at your banner page. You can also set one banner to always display first when your nation is viewed (that's what the "Primary" option is for).
Edit: Also, this isn't the right thread for general assistance. The proper one is the general Rift thread. To be fair, though, that thread has fallen way out of sight, and new users like you have no way of knowing that it exists. Maybe the thread should be stickied?

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

After bringing this up I now have a new game play mechanic
Is goes like so

any nation in active service for more then a set amount of years receives a new banner.

Chart as so
4 years: receives some type of new banner image of what I don't know
5 years: same thing as 4 years but different
6+ years: player receives a banner indicating status as an ancient or antiquity nation w/o changing actual date as I asked in my OP in the linked thread here--> https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=339255.

Anything 6+ could be an image of the future or the past but in black and white and made to look like a very very old photograph

Names of banners?
4 years: Quadricentennial
5 years: Quincentennial
6+ years: Sexcentenary

1.) Ignore them, they want attention. Giving it to them will only encourage them.
2.) Keep a backup region or two handy, with a password in place, in case you are raided. You can move there if needed.

Isn't this just like an extension of the existing 1 year and 2 year banners?

I feel like something more significant than wagging fingers would be in order (but I don't know what else it could be).


Is there not a banner for bad weather? I think there's one for good weather but considering I have bad weather and I don't have a banner from it.

It could be a photo of a hurricane or a tornado or lightning striking a tree or building.

I really like all of those, except maybe more then a wag of a finger for being condemned, as mentioned above. Otherwise, I'd love to see these.

I don't see why a banner based on it wouldn't also be accepted. I just wanted you to see someone get the reference.
