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?

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)?

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?

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"

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.

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

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

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

Could we seperate the Founderless tag into two tags, one for pre-founder regions, the other for regions with a CTEd founder?

Also how about "Issue Player"?

Some regions have nations answer their issues almost down to an exact size science to top rankings/trophies/get a very unique type of nation.

Maybe one for regions founded by Non-executive(that's what it's called right?) founders?

Founderless and varients: I have ideas, but for now I plan on leaving this alone.
Issue Players: Could you point me to some example regions? I'll probably leave this one to a mod more familiar with this aspect of the game.

Would you be so kind to post a new (complete with recently added tags) list of all the tags? Thanks in advance!

Tagss are a great idea. Forest is an oldish region whose emphasis is environmental. Any chance of a tag along the lines of environmental, or eco-friendly, or green...?
The world is not cyclical, not eternal or immutable, but endlessly transforms itself, and never goes back, and we can assist in that transformation.

Live on, survive, for the earth gives forth wonders. It may swallow your heart, but the wonders keep on coming. You stand before them bareheaded, shriven. What is expected of you is attention.

If you can find me a few other regions this would apply to, then yes.

As for the master list. Yup, I just need to take care of some stuff first.

P.S. Check out the [region-tag] bbcode for easy linking to search results...
