NS World Adjustment 2.0

[Varanius]

I stand by my dispatch, I still consider them too elitist, exclusive and attention-seeking, but they do some good things for this site.

Oh the irony!

It’s very cool! I think if I were in your shoes, I might consider organizing a cross-regional, cross-player movement — add a few specific recommendations to the essay, jot notes, and have players and regions sign on to the recommendations (like a petition) to express their support.

If I were you I’d also read the old threads in Technical complaining about WA voting inequality & recruitment problems, and follow up with each player from the thread by tg about being involved in the movement/group because they’re likely players to be interested in being involved. That’s how this is done. Fish in the right pond!

Some ideas for next steps...


- Calling for a new GCR-UCR conference with interested parties to address inequalities in WA voting power, recruitment, diplomatic status
- The creation of a UCR-led, UCR-focused WA voting bloc. I think in addition to a UCR voting bloc, it would be helpful to create a UCR multilateral organization, UCR30 or something, with the UCRs that have more than 30 delegate endorsements. Perhaps the organization could be both a voting bloc and a treatied organization with an assembly.
- Opening direct discussions with UCRs in WA voting blocs to convince them to join a UCR voting bloc
- I think the movement should call into question WASC resolutions that commend GCR players for work that is not extraordinary — as a way of demonstrating how the GCRs have influenced the WASC. Lots of players get commended for accomplishments and track records that would be considered average if they had made these accomplishments in a UCR. This reinforces the view to players that to establish themselves in the game, they have to move to a GCR.
- The movement could try to pass activist commendations for UCR players and regions that have been neglected or overlooked for recognition.
- I think some kind of recruitment collaboration could be helpful —I wonder (and this is a crazy idea) if UCRs could cooperate and recruit in GCRs for a single spawning region, a port of call, where the partnering UCRs have mass TG powers so they can share about their region and install a Welcome TG that advertises them, and recruiters can freely interact with new arrivals on the RMB. To prevent a local community forming in the port of call that might resist or interfere with recruitment, the regional admins could maintain a policy of ejecting & banning arrivals who have resided for more than 14 days in the region or something.

I know that I'm a bit late to reply to this, but I wanted to say that I probably won't be personally involved in implementing these, but I fully support all of this and recommend that other leaders of UCRs work on this and good luck for those who do so.

I'd say that I'm happy with this for a first attempt at a dispatch of this kind. Yes it's had a lot of backlash, but the core message is out there.

Also, for any of the opponents of my dispatch are reading this, I'd like to say one thing to you: I don't want to wipe out GCRs completely. I stand by my dispatch, I still consider them too elitist, exclusive and attention-seeking, but they do some good things for this site. But it's the balance between UCRs and GCRs which is the main problem. GCRs get all the attention and all the credit and hold all the power, while it'd be better for UCRs to have a stronger position on this site, with more attention and credit. I should have made that more clear in my dispatch. I also think that part of the problem is the lack of an in-game solution to this (such as replacing GCRs with nations being 'regionless' when they join, or doubling the amount of feeders and sinkers), but that's a discussion for technical, not gameplay.

You did a great job!!

NS will thrive as long as players like yourself don’t hesitate to voice their thoughts on NSGP and take action. Huzzah!

I'm going to assume you haven't made it back to your PC yet?

Shame. And here I was thinking that TNP was already free :/

Who knew that it needed to be free? Certainly not me!

Is it still illegal to fly TNP coat of arms in TNP?
