What about adding the eco-friendly tag? There is quite a few regions which concentrate mostly on environment. You could eventually add industrial on the other side too.

I think this would be useful...

I think both would be good. I would personally add Industrial to my region's tags...

Could there be a way to search for multiple tags at once? Even if it was only possible by URL modification?

It's high on our wish list too, but it may be a long while. Given the current code, Salusa has told us that a multi-valued tag search would be very, very difficult to implement.

Agree, pretty useful things.

Is there any chance of an eco-friendly tag? What is needed to convince NS?

I've got a few more tag suggestions:
1. earth-based
2. None-earth
3. rp alliance (to separate it from the general random collections of rpers)
4. Private
5. Militarist
6. activity required
7. other dimention
8. active (and the opposite)
9. anti-communist
10. anti-capitalist (seriously guys, why the hate for fascists?)
11. Anti-general assembly (gotta be politically correct)
12. Colony

That's a nice list, Diol, but a lot of those would work equally well as commentary within the WFE. If we add every tag that people request, the Tag Cloud becomes too cumbersome for anyone to really use. That's our primary rationale for being stingy with new tags.

Eco-Friendly is really a tag I think would be appreciated by a large amount of the populace. Similarly, there are more than a few industrial nations in NationStates.

I think colony would be a good addition however, as it would make seeing who's been raided easier.

by **Santa Joanna** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 4:16 am

A) Being a colony is not equal with having been raided. Some of colonies can be just peaceful subregions.
B) Raiders wouldn't have any benefit from adding "Hey, fendas, come eject us"-like tag.

But eco-friendly tag would be amazingly useful.

Since invaders tend to quite openly invite defenders to try and oust them once they've taken over a region (they hoist their flag, mention themselves in the WFE, list a 'defender kill count', etc...) I think a tag like "Conquered" might be useful for them. But it's really up to the invaders to tell whether or not they'd actually use it.

I'd use it. Anything that legitimizes our actions through game mechanics is groovy, as far as I'm concerned. I like the idea of a conquered or similar tag.

Get rid of the Recruiter Friendly tag.
I don't see the point of it. In most cases it's added by invaders to degrade the RMB of a region. Since posts are going to stay there forever (even when suppressed), and currently the majority of the adspam is posted by recruiters widely considered to be unpleasant (there's nothing like waking up and seeing an all-capital ACHTUNG!), I'd rather the tag was removed.

If UCRs want to allow recruiting, they can still declare so in their WFE without a need for the tag.

Then the Raiders would say they allow recruiting in the WFE, thereby not changing anything I guess.

Maybe we can ask the raiders if they support a "no mercy for nazi regions" movement. In which they'll ban and suppress all nazi recruitments(this can also be put in the WFE along with the recruitment; ie a message saying "recruitment is fine, except for nazi regions")? After all, this is a game, and despicable RL ideologies should not be promoted because of the R/D game

I sadly have to agree, either get rid of it or make it automatic in the feeder/sinkers and warzones.

Correct, which is why we're not going to change it. There are other regions that genuinely use it, and it makes an easy list for recruiters.

The difference is exactly that recruiters would have more difficulty finding regions which allow it.

That'd be a fun little addition. As a raider I'd support this.

I'm wondering if that'll be necessary when the Annex feature is eventually added.

Or they could be used in conjunction. Make it an auto-tag for annexed regions so that it's easier for defenders to find places to liberate.

I can assume that Annex is something else than the conquered tag. An annex will cost a significant amount of influence (I hope) and needs quite some time to be established. A 'conquered' is more useful for tag raids. These two potential features caters to two different types of raiders. The tag raiders like TBH will use the conquered tag a lot, while using the Annex sparingly. TNI, with a more imperialistic approach to raiding will probably use Annex more. But that is just my hunch as defender

Ofcourse, a 'conquered' tag will make it easy for Defenders to spot the raids. Now this is not a problem for the tag raiders who do it for sport and leave soon after anyway. But the ones who want to stay a long while in a region will probably not want to use it because it then automagically appears on the defenders todo list

Bump. So nice to be ignored.
