Unfortunately our current TG code is not at all scalable, and can't handle mass TGs. So this requires a complete overhaul, to give us code that can support mass TGs, as well as a Sent Items list, plus much larger or unlimited TG inboxes. But this will all take time.

(Obviously there'd be restrictions on this, to prevent spam. But where we permit it, it'll be possible.)

Which would be neat, but a method to block welcome telegrams would be nice. They could get annoying for frequent travelers.
I wish I remember who wrote:Games like Nationstates are like a big cardboard box, and there are two kinds of people in the world. The kind who look at the empty void inside the box and ask "Where the hell is it?" and the kind who jump into the box with their friends and make it into a fort, or a spaceship.

Another possibility would be an option for founders/delegates to set a standard welcome telegram to be sent out to nations when they arrive in a region. I suppose it could get annoying for people who hop back and forth into their home region, but that could be avoided by tying it to Influence and only sending it to those with zero influence (i.e. the truly new to the region).

I think it should be able to turn off in settings, but it is a good idea.

Um, if a founder or delegate can't even send one (1) welcome telegram to a new nation when he/she arrive.... and need an automatic feature for that, then they are not very good founders/delegates.

I thnk just a mass telegram of only a certain number of nation (like 10) should be good.

The Founder and WA delegate will have the power to "MASS" TG everyone in their region....to do so out side of their region they would be restricted to the 10 nation rule as everyone else....
My rule "Might" restrict spam.

2) I really, really don't want individual non-delegate/founder nations to have the ability to send mass-TGs. I can't think of a good reason for them to have it. (And you're talking to someone who once sent 1190 recruitment telegrams in a single day, by hand; trust me, I know it's a pain.) Anything that really needs to be sent out region-wide can be arranged by the delegate or founder, and nations should be telegramming anything else one on one.
