'Resident' better than blank. Minnow is at least, something, 'blank' is nothing, and the newbies will start asking tons of questions "hey why don't I have influence? Why is mine blank?"
haha...
yeah
No blank. I believe the original idea was to base giving people rankings once they passed a certain population. But in reality some new people move to a region the first day with a bunch of friends and if there are only 4 or so people in that region they're going to get up to a considerable rank after only a few days.
I don't think resident would be a good term for it (it doesn't quite fit in with things like negotiator and truckler in my opinion)
but that's roughly the right idea.
I thought for a split second of what would happen if you just bumped all the names up so Vassal was the first one... but even then I wouldn't necessarily want to be a "lowly" vassal of some feeder region--it's almost as bad as minnow only we know that it's not .
if you know what I mean.
