Whatver happens to their region, these people are once again involved in the game and probably more involved than ever before.
Oh my Days wrote:As activity is a habit, they often continue their involvement and NS gets more active players. An example of this is Land of The Liberals, which was two months ago by New Earth (who were eventually fought off). Before New Earth came in, the region had six, inactive nations. Since then, they have rallied around, got the WA to help them, called in nations from allied regions to build the region back up and have now built it up to 19 nations, with an active delegate.

Oh my Days wrote:This is the same as in RP, those fighting for militaristic dominance do not want to lose, but know that sometimes they might do.

Oh my Days wrote:This is why Warzones failed and any other attempt to make regions that it is "acceptable" to invade will fail as well, there is no point beating something that is there to be beaten.
Oh my Days wrote:Raiding generally happens in decaying regions, where the activity isn't there and it's stimulating people to get more involved.
Oh my Days wrote:Even when an active, but new and founderless region (a combination of the three is very, very rare) is invaded, the experience just encourages the natives to fight back and get more involved. This has been evidenced over many years.

If you had read my previous posts, you would know that I suggested that I/D regions might not have founders at all. In fact, I said you could design the regions to suit your game best.
EDIT: I don't mean to come off as rude, but really, read the suggestion before you dismiss it please. Since I have gone through the effort to compose and write out the idea.

There's very little possibility that a resolution such as this one would have reached the floor. It's a nuisance, but it won't be a major problem.
conflict inspires patriotism in both sides, this emotional response from both sides makes it interesting and makes it more political, which after all is the point of this game.
Raiding is a catalyst for activity as it generally occurs in decaying regions, where the natives have stopped logging in as often and are drifting away from the game.

What? So because defenders make an effort to help other regions which suffer from invasions, we should lose our founders? How does that make sense?

Good luck with the continued bawwwing and fighting about it for the rest of you. Not gonna waste any more time talking to an unresponsive brick wall.

Maybe warzones should be made a little more public, in order to make people actually want to take them over. Perhaps, on The World's page, there could be a link to "Warzones" that displayed the WFE's and delegates of every in-game warzone region.

What? I'm not going to refound their region for them. I don't care whether or not they do it at all, and I don't think it's necessary. I certainly wouldn't bother before there was an actual liberation proposal at vote that looked like it was about to pass. If it makes them feel somehow more secure, fine, but it's none of my business.

That is not what I was asking for a response to.

Well, I'm fairly certain that's what Dread Lady Nathicana was talking about.

The EDIT line was directed to the post beneath it regarding warzones. But never mind answering that in this thread, as we're veering off-topic. I'll make a new thread here for it.
NOTE: Is anyone else here experiencing some intensely powerful lag?
