Region Tags!

[Denecaep]

Oh, and as for some more tags...

"Raider" definitely. Maybe "armed," "defense alliance," "free trade?"

I'm mainly just thinking about what I would be searching for if I was looking at regions.

[Dondris]

This game just keeps getting better and better!

[Brachyuria]

My region has been stagnating into a slow decline of numbers for a while now, so this added ability to potentially get more of the right kind of people into our region is greatly appreciated.

I can't think of any extra tags to add, so that's all from me.

[Herrebrugh]

Anti-Fascist? It would be nice for the variety of Socialist raider regions we have here on nationstates.

Also I've never seen an I logo on a forum post. What are you? Some kind of God?

I'm not sure I understand these tags (except maybe 'free trade'). How is raider different from invader? (Remember, I'm mostly a techie.) What do these tags mean?

[Kshrlmnt]

Epic!

What about Monarchist--relating to regions that are run by a royal family? Or perhaps something for regions that are based around or have many members in the NS families? --though the latter is more tenuous an idea.

And democratic, of course, if that's not there already. (thanks, Lev)

[Gauntleted Fist]

Huh. That's pretty awesome. Now I have a legitimate reason to bug the Lazarus delegate more!

Thanks, Salusa.

[Warzone Codger]

One for folks like the Featured Region Followers, Travelling Region and The Skeleton Army? "Traveller" perhaps?



Those regions are dedicated to visiting other regions and saying hi/making friends. Invader wouldn't be appropiate.

[Kshrlmnt]

Me again! Puppet dumps and/or graveyards?

Created: Regional Government, Surreal, Snarky, Free Trade, Anti-Fascist, Democratic, Monarchist, Totalitarian, and Theocratic.

I don't like encouraging graveyards or puppet dumps, so I don't think I'll create those tags (though other mods will also be looking through this thread). I also don't understand how a a region could travel. What does 'Traveler' mean as a tag?

Yay! Thank you allmighty Secondus. Let the power of Barry be with you.

Maybe a 'Social' and 'Serious' tag?

Or something along those lines to describe if the region is in-character or more relaxed (but not necessarily silly)?

[SalusaSecondus]

I should note, that simply adding every tag you can to your region is not wise. It dilutes the value of the tags for everyone and won't help your region grow, since when they realize you've lied about that, what else might you be lying about?

[Herrebrugh]

Oooh. Anarchist.

[Makiir]

Yeah, the "Regional Government" tag is great (And I'm glad you added it) but I was thinking about someone who was a *insert Government Title here* of a region but left for a disagreement or whatever. Yes the RG tag will be a great asset to them, but if they want to join the Regional Government ASAP a "Looking for government officials" tag would REALLY help (Still can't figure out a good name) Wether you add this tag or not I'll stop pushing it.




I have a few more ideas for tags: "Alternate Earth," "Other World/ Universe," and "Inter-Regional Alliance"

[SalusaSecondus]

I've added: Social, Serious, and Anarchist.

I'll let a moderator with more experience in the matter look at "Alternate Earth" and "Other World/ Universe."

"Inter-Regional Alliance" seems far too generic to me to be useful.

[Ecans]

Good move...adds clarity. Game just gets better!

[Gallifrey Beta]

We would like to see a "Multiverse" tag, if at all possible.

[Unibot II]

Heh. Thanks for tagging my region for me! You basically got it right, I just added a couple to try it out.

A suggestion for tags.. "National Soverigntist" and "International Federalist" , two competitive camps in the WA... regions like Gatesville and Gates of Evil, Texas, AWA, and maybe AO sit in the former, Dharma and perhaps Europe in the latter. Just to name some examples.

In Gameplay we often separate regions into the following categories: Defender, Defender Sympathizing, Neutral, Raider Sympathizing and Raider regions. The underline might make a good way for a region to declare that it supports the defender or raider cause without actively defending or raiding... many regions fit into these categories distinctively.

[Warzone Codger]

Created: also don't understand how a a region could travel. What does 'Traveler' mean as a tag?

In the same way regions can be invaders. Except these guys aren't invading, they are just visiting to say hi until the next region fancies them.

Well the nations who are part of the region The Featured Region Followers have the common goal of visiting the region that was featured everyday. They move between the TFRF and the featured region then back again then the next featured region.

Travelling Region is similiar but they move in a random order compared to the TFRF.

The Skeleton Army afaik pick a random region and then roleplay at great party to the target region. Being a receipt of their roleplays is a great honour that a Commendation was passed for them.

Or are you saying the tag is too vague?

Anyway, thanks for your input and this great feature.

"Recruiter Friendly" help alot of people out with this one.


Or a "No Recruiters Allowed" Tag

[SalusaSecondus]

Created: Recruiter Friendly

I will leave the following tags to a moderator with more direct knowledge:

• Multiverse
• National Soverigntist
• International Federalist
• Traveller

I won't be creating an anti-recruiter tag since that is the default and doesn't need to be stated. I just don't see what purpose it would serve.

[Unibot II]

Oh and is there a Sports Roleplay region tag? AO and Rushmore are the two main NS-Sports regions, but like all groups, they clique into their own regions.

Now there is.
