Which UCRs and GCRs would you most like to see succeed in the future?

Which UCRs and GCRs do you think have overcome difficult histories to reach modern success?

Which regions have been your favorites to work with in your time in Osiris?

I hate to decline to answer a question, but this will honestly go nowhere good, and if I made an honest list, some of my friends would be on it.

So, not going there. Sorry.

As far as UCRs, I would really like to see the Empire of Mare Nostrum do well. I would also like to see Spiritus make a comeback at some point. Just in general, I would like to see UCRs be more successful and impactful overall, and I hope that can happen in the near future somehow.

GCRs, well, obviously I hope to see Osiris be successful forever. And I hope to see Lazarus do well now that it has stabilized.

Xoriet wrote:Which UCRs and GCRs do you think have overcome difficult histories to reach modern success?

Well, TBH for sure. They've weathered their Founder switching alignments and their forum being destroyed, among other lesser setbacks.

As far as GCRs, I'm biased, but obviously I'd have to say Osiris. But also TNP's earlier history was fraught with issues, and it's a powerhouse now.

Xoriet wrote:Which regions have been your favorites to work with in your time in Osiris?

TEP and TWP, definitely. They've been Osiris' most consistent allies since OFO 2.0 was established in 2016.

If you could implement any of the various technical suggestions for GP rejected/never implemented by admins, which would it be?

by **Zaolat** » Sun Nov 11, 2018 6:06 pm

If you had to choose from this set of different players, who would be the best?

Zaolat, Wabbitslayah, Mekhet, or Helseth?

by **Imperium of Josh** » Sun Nov 11, 2018 6:08 pm

Lol Zao

Do you think I will ever be a GCR delegate?

Koth's Faction Gameplay, though it could still be implemented. I also quite liked Annexation and the original Delegate-Elect proposal.

Definitely Zaolat.

I do! I'm not sure where or how yet though. But you have a lot of potential so I think you'll get there.

Ryccia wrote:When are you retiring?

I'm in no hurry, but I'm sure it will happen eventually.

Who has been your favorite ideological IC enemy over the years?

What was your most frustrating Gameplay situation?

What do you think has been your biggest success on NS? Your biggest failure?

Roavin, during the times we've been opposed. He has a remarkable capacity to cut through my bullshit and make points I can't counter.

Xoriet wrote:What was your most frustrating Gameplay situation?

There have been many, but I think Douria's month long coup of Osiris right after I was elected Pharaoh in 2013. It was very stressful and frustrating.

Xoriet wrote:What do you think has been your biggest success on NS? Your biggest failure?

My biggest success has been my years long quest to make Osiris a functional region, a quest many others helped me further, so it wasn't all me. My biggest failure was obviously Asgard, though in the brief time it existed as an active region it achieved more notoriety than most UCRs, so there is that.

I would have stayed in the UDL's Conclave instead of giving up and letting Mahaj get elected Chief of the Band. I really wanted to run the UDL at that point, and I've always regretted that I never got the chance to do it -- not to mention the UDL's total collapse as a result of Mahaj being elected.

What one thing can save GP (from the doldrums or calcification or whatever horrible disease it has)?

Koth's Faction Gameplay proposal.

Barring that, GP really needs more healthy ideological conflict again. I think GP needs more defenders again, honestly. But if that's not going to happen, there needs to be ideological conflict of some sort. Gameplay will be stale and prone to petty interpersonal bickering until healthy conflict returns.

If you could promote a UCR to GCR status, which would you pick? And vice versa.

What's been your favourite NS April Fool's?

If you could bring back one retired player, who would you choose?

I would promote XKI to GCR status. I would demote Balder to UCR status, because I mean, it's already almost there.

Sammuramat wrote:What's been your favourite NS April Fool's?

Definitely the trading cards!

Sammuramat wrote:If you could bring back one retired player, who would you choose?

Oh gosh. Probably Isidor, but that's not a name that is going to mean a lot to most people anymore. Having Nevadar back would also be fun.

by **Xoriet** » Sun Nov 11, 2018 6:57 pm

Who are some of the active players that you respect most?

Who are some of the more promising players you would most like to see move to another region?

What issue in Gameplay do you think really needs to just be dropped and never be brought up again?

What issue in Gameplay do you think isn’t taken seriously enough?

by **Imperium of Josh** » Sun Nov 11, 2018 7:02 pm

If UCRs are to become more important and integrated in general gameplay, how might this be achieved by the community without getting Koth's proposal (because we probably won't)?

Would this make me a former GCR delegate ex post facto?

Only GP questions. I was going to ask him what kind of snake he is if it was a general AMA and not just GP.
