Delegate access to regional controls

[Neo Nibu]

I've ran into an issue of late, as I expect many have, with this newer trend of raiding regions with founders.

As one with half a dozen or so small region with a delegate that only has one or two endorsements, before I was able to leave regional controls open and delegates could help co-run the region with me.

Now most of my regions got raided at one point or another, and i've had to close access to them. Making running a region more work and limiting a region's ability to have any form of democratic order of an elected leader accessing regional controls.

It is for these reasons I would like to plead to the admins to create a work around for this issue.

What I think would be a good idea is a "confirm access" function. Where upon electing a new delegate in a region with a founder, the regional access closes until the founder goes on and confirms their access and open regional controls.

That way if a raider tries to raid a region with a founder, they can't, as the regional access would close upon them becoming delegate and wouldn't open up again until the founder re-opens it.

Failing some work around, this problem is only going to get worse. NS is growing at a rapid rate, raider organizations getting larger and larger, raiding regions with founders will only get more common as so many founderless regions have been left tagged for months, probably more tagged than not.

There has to be some way for smaller regions with founders to be allow to have a region of their own without being force into the raiding / defending element of the game and having the constant threat of a raid.

I like this idea, although it could be problematic if a nation accidentally becomes Delegate in a region with a Founder who only logs on about once a week, when the elected Delegate returns they would have to wait a while for regional controls again.

My suggestion is that Delegate access gets split in two.
- Delegate has automatic access (a new Delegate doesn't need confirmation)
- Delegate needs Founder confirmation (a new Delegate does need confirmation)

That way if a Founder wants to leave most of the running of the region to the Delegate (while they are relatively inactive) they can, without the Delegate becoming stranded in the case of an accidental coup.

Yea I was thinking to have the "confirm access" function to be an option to be set up if it is needed, not the default setting. So the delegatecy would function like normal unless selected otherwise.

We've been told that there are official plans to add 'Regional Officers' or 'Regional Officials' or some such concept to the game within the forseeable future: These will be nations that aren't Delegates but which their regions' Founders (and/or executive Delegates, I think) authorise to operate some [chosen] regional administration functions anyway... which would mean that you could appoint people to help run the region while still leaving the position of Delegate itself non-executive. Would that meet your requirements?

Yea something like that would probably work, hope to see that soon.

I agree with OP and posted about this recently here. My thought was to allow regions to enable a "Delegate-Elect" setting, which would require a new Delegate to wait a little while before exercising his/her powers. This would provide a window for an active Founder to boot them, if so desired.

Currently small regions are forced to have non-executive Delegates, unless they want to be tag raided.

they can mess with withdrawing embassies, and unbanning he banned, but the don't have enough power ejecting too many nations
