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.

Their only recourse, at present, is to launch a massive, aggressive endorsement-swapping campaign that tends to place them under a great deal of suspicion.

Huh. My non-WA puppet in Lazarus is a Vassal... of course, it's been there a very, very long time...Northern Chittowa wrote:Thats true...Ive had my main WA in Lazarus now for close to a year i believe, probably longer, yet im still classed as a minnow despite that fact and the fact i have 71 endorsements I dont mind it a great deal, yet i can fully understand people getting annoyed at having the title.

I didn't even know what a "minnow" was (English is not my first language, although I rarely come across words I don't know) so I had to look it up. Having your influence level (that you as a new player don't know the meaning of, or rather lack of meaning of) denoted by a family of fish species, is probably very confusing.
I say remove it for all nations, whatever size, that are NOT WA members.

Then that's a stupid system that needs to be changed as soon as possible, as non-WA nations don't "play" that part of the game. I find the whole WA thing to be really silly. It would be much better to develop the original game idea instead of dumping it all into a poor community-based substitute.
