Password Protecting Regions

Postby Bucovia » Mon Feb 23, 2015 1:34 pm

How long does it take to gain enough Regional Influence to Password protect the Region you are Founder or WA Delegate of?

For Founders the answer is simple: 0 days. Founders spend no influence to password protect a region, or on anything else.

For WA Delegates it's a bit more complicated, there are variables involved.

Length of residency and number of endorsements.

So if you have two endorsements and there are only three of us, how long would it take then?

How long have the other nations been there? Are they WA nations? How many endorsements do they have?

There's no easy "formula" (that I'm aware of) that works in this way, as there are a number of variables in play. It's worth noting, however, that a hidden password requires more influence (i.e. time) than a visible password.

About 3 days. Yes, they're all WA Nations. They have no endorsements.

You can try to implement a password, and if there is enough influence it'll work. If not, it won't. I don't think you're going to get a "XYZ days" answer like you seem to be seeking out.

Do you think it'll take weeks? It's a small Region with 3 Nations including myself, the other 2 have endorsed me and have done for around 5 days now. I didn't think it took this long, especially in a Founderless Region.

I would have thought Founderless Regions took hardly anytime to Password Protect seeing as there is no Founder to stop it from happening. There must be some sort of easy way of working it out.

Well, it is easier since the founder is the longest residing nation there. But it still takes some time, as well as a hefty number of endorsements to have a hidden password.
Like the others have said, there's no specific number of time. What I would suggest you do is wait for a few days and check back in on your influence periodically to see if you can put one into effect.

Does anyone know the average waiting time for a WA Delegate to put a Password on a Founderless Region when he has around 5 endorsements?

"A founderless region /w 5 endorsements" is not going to have a universal answer, and a huge range of potential answers that will most likely render any 'average' meaningless. A large founderless region that's been around awhile? A small founderless region that's only been there a little while? How long have the residents been in the region? A group that's been there for years? A region with a high turnover rate that nations don't linger in long?
