while the GA just lies dormant

Is that a bad thing though?

Anyways, I blame Cormac, and maybe La Navasse and Lenlyvit alongside him. Mostly Cormac though. It’s always Cormac’s fault

So, no matter my position on Nazis and fascists, I'm still doing wrong? >_>

When did I call you a fascist? Lenly and Cormac aren’t. Why would you be, in that group?

It is always your fault, though. Same way it’s always Cormac’s fault. And Kyorgia, because he’s Kyorgia. Does there have to be a reason?

[Norwegian Wood]

All the stuff happening this week is fulfilling my drama quota, but none of it is stuff I can laugh at.

[Thermodolia]

Unless, of course, that isn't their oldest nation.

I, for one, am confused as to why they didn't just use Swaraelia given that it's not taken.

I’m just shocked that 10 year olds know how to make complete sentences and use a computer. Maybe I’m just old and from a different time but I sure as hell wasn't able to do that when I was 10

Well usually they just claim they slept with my mother, but i doubt they can dig up a corpse

The founder of Westphalia came back. RIP TBH and Unknown.

RIP Unknown, remember TBH had no further hand in it after the handover

[Indo-Malaysia]

Finally remembered his password has he

Would have been funnier if the Westphalia founder came back during the huge pile

I meant rip as in, rip all the work TBH put into taking it in the first place

[Mike the Progressive]

Hello my name is Mike and I'm an alcoholic.

That aside, let me ask this. What forum was destroyed in 2010 that has caused so much discontent towards Westphalia?

[Lord Dominator]

Region was still cleared of natives for weeks. That influence loss sure isn't gonna be replaced easily

Plus it did get the point across

Yeah, it was still destroyed from the bottom up. There's been a lot of harm done.

So, anyone have a convenient way to rank WA delegates by current time in office?

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

So, anyone have a convenient way to rank WA delegates by current time in office?

When we did it for Streaker, we manually went through the 2k delegates with a team, popping them into a spreadsheet, sorting by length, endogap, and passworded/open. There may have been a faster way, but with 3-4 people, it actually did not take that long to gather even the entra info.

EDIT: you could probably finangle it by working with the "history" API call - call the history of every region with a delegate, go to when said delegate was elected, collect timestamp, math.

Edit2: I can tell you offhand, NationStates is going to be the longest, and anyone close to them (Forest, Texas, Antarctica) got knocked down in streaker. Assuming our search missed nothing, the longest ones left standing below NS (13.5 years) are:

Over 7 years:
https://www.nationstates.net/region=dem ... ist_states

Over 6 years:
https://www.nationstates.net/region=furnation
https://www.nationstates.net/region=the_west

Over 5 years:
https://www.nationstates.net/region=user_friendlia
https://www.nationstates.net/region=spiritus
https://www.nationstates.net/region=the_apartment_block
https://www.nationstates.net/region=western_atlantic
https://www.nationstates.net/region=the ... ian_empire

...and everyone else is below five. At a glance, about 50% of those we had on our sheet that would be at or above 5 by now that we did not hit at the time have since dropped delegacy on their own, actually.

Could suggest a new World Census Category of Longest Delegate over in technical. We have most endorsements and residency so makes sense.

Might get abused by R/D a bit though

Not much left to hit, tbh. Anything left over 5 years was passworded down tight, and at the time, only 5 not-passworded regions over 2 years were left (due to high endo gaps).

[Lord Dominator]

Thanks Souls!

[Sarakart]

What's the story behind Nationstates? Like, what is the region all about? Where did it come from? Why has there been a single WA delegate there for 13+ years?

A bit old, but this may be of some interest as well: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=180641&hilit=delegate+ranker

I can't answer the first three, but the fourth would be that said delegate enforces a ruthless endocap and has constant recruiting to make up for a complete lack of community.

Mikeswill is, from what I've heard, a former raider and that's why other raiders haven't attempted to topple him. Besides that, I've heard that NationStates was actually founded by Mikeswill. (And yes, enforces the ruthless endo cap)
