Puppet Storage Regions

Postby Turnopolis » Sat Dec 29, 2012 9:48 pm

Hello there,

So I am recently returned from a hiatus so I am a little behind on things. However, one thing I was first made aware of is the large number of pup storage regions. Quite a few of the largest regions in the game are puppet storage.

What do you all think of them?

Personally, I think that they are bittersweet. Yes, I do find them rather annoying and I tend to agree with those in opposition. If I am not mistaken, there was a SC Condemnation on True North or whatnot and I agree largely with the resolution.

However, I do admire and applaud the puppet masters - your mental fortitude and patience to create and operate scores of puppets is impressive. I also think that with the emergence of the Puppet Super Regions, that NSers will once again see the value of smaller regions. It is not the number of nations of you have in our region, but the quality of player.

I am just curious and interested what some of the newer and more veteran players think of them. It is not a pressing issue, just mere curiosity.

People care about puppet storage regions?

Why?

They should be destroyed, and the players who use them banned for a minimum of 10 years.

Pretending our opinions matter is the goal of the internet.

And as for puppet storage, eh, I don't mind them. I personally use my dossier, but I can see how they'd be useful.

Yes, I am a great guy. You, amongst many, have already confirmed this.

Just as Lopehi said, it's good that you aren't a mod. I have a puppet storage region, and I would hate to be banned from NS for 10 years. :(
I have left NS.

I killed all my puppets due to neglect.

They were in a variety of regions.

I don't really care so much for the game... I like the forum, the game is for when I am extra-bored.

I have always thought the General Discussion Forums would be better if puppets were banned, idiots only use them for trolling.

I used to have a couple of puppets, but they all died out since i didn't bother to take care of them. Never posted with one either.

Wouldn't this discussion be more suited for Gameplay?

Also, as a gameplayer I detest the really large ones such True North and Galapagos, they just steal rankings from actual regions and pointlessly inflate the number of Nations on NS.

No one needs two thousand nations.
