I'm hoping for literally every N day action once over 10, and scaling down to near 0 for a single nation who only does something once every few hours. In that case, something like 1.5 * max penalty should be the max of unthrottled nations given, so that there is no disadvantage, but the advantage given isn't gamebreaking.

If it's just as annoying as last year, I might be able to use it with 2 computers and 3 or 4 chrome tabs. Is botting such a major issue that it even requires these checks though?

While trying to remember how to do this, I ran across [violet]'s post limiting it to five puppets.

GVH, I'm certain we've done the exemption for your five. They don't expire.

I've no idea which ones those 5 are, and others use large numbers of puppets. I'm not the only person on the site who does this.

Unless I say they do, in which case, there is a nonzero chance.

The bot checks weren't so bad IRRC. I hope they haven't made them deliberately obnoxious though.

It'd be really useful if one could join a faction leading up to n-day. That way if the bot checks were being a pain it wouldn't be so time-consuming for the actual day.

I kind of hope they make them scaling up to deliberately obnoxious.
As always, I'm representing myself.
