The problem with this is then, what about small regions that want to be all by themselves and do their own thing? That ability to do your own thing has been a positive part of NS for a long time.

Just allow Founders to set a password, but not WA Delegates. (and do the same thing for the ban button, the same reasoning applies )

Also, I'm all for Ballo's suggestion. I know he suggested it before influence came, and hope this time it will be used.

You could also, I don't know if this is technically possible, let founder less regions apply for founder ship and take up the new division of power between founders and WA delegates.
Another suggestion is having three update times, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening, as that would give more to play for, as even if you failed the first update you would still have the chance, and make it easier to retake a region from invaders, as their delegates would have to be on for each update time to ensure that they held the region.

What I do want, very badly, is the ability to do things we cannot do now - like remove password protection from a region where a raider delegate has locked everyone out.

No doubt that would be effective, but it's a solution that takes a large part of the invaders' game away from them.
Even leaving invaders aside, large numbers of regions are effectively run by the Delegate, not the Founder, and this would significantly curtail what they can do.

Does anyone have a better criteria for determining nativity than Influence? Because I would implement that. I just haven't seen a viable alternative. We can't just say, "You're a native if we know you are." That way lies madness.

The idea of giving more influence to older inhabitants it isn't bad, neither is the intention.. But wouldn't this make invaders fill a region with puppets, leave them there for a while, gaining "seniority". Invaders doing a trojan-horse-infiltration now need to have their WA there to gain influence, but with the suggested system they'ld only need a flock of puppets and apply for WA when the puppets have gained sufficient seniority. Or am I misinterpreting your formulae?

It looks to me like an overcomplicating solution (that might even create new problems). Why not attacking the cause of the problem: the fact that a password can be put so easily by invader delegates so any chance of outside help is lost.
