It was one of the region names that got banned during the Predator punishments - the lesser known cousin to DEN.

So it's off limits because some R&D player misused it? Bummer.

Not just some individual player- a large number of R&D players, with varying degrees of prominence and rulebreaking intent, used a tool that was apparently designed to evade NS scripting rules. The Predator punishments are perhaps the largest moderator intervention that I have seen in my time here.

Am I allowed to hand a nation (give the password of it) to another nation?
Is this allowed?

Yes, but it's not recommended due to the nature of such a gift. See: viewtopic.php?p=16394962#sharing

I got a question, what do the NS bots (Google, Baidu, etc) do? I've seen them at the bottom of the registered users but I've never seen them actually do anything myself.

I believe those are search engine spiders. They crawl all over the Internet and index whatever they find.

How do I make a map for a region that does not have one?

What do you mean by making a map? If you want to create a file which you can use as a map, there are plenty of websites which will help (my personal favorite is this one).

If you're talking about uploading it to the region, which may be a bit tricky, you can check out this News post or this thread.

If you needed help with both, well, there you have it

Hello to everyone reading this post,
I have a problem regarding graphs in the stats: when I add more than 2 entities (like for example my nation, another nation and regional average), the graph completely bugs, apparently overlapping on copies of itself. As both mobile and pc user, because this happens on mobile, I am sure it doesn't on pc. Also, from asking to people in my region, it apparently happens only to me (I'll leave a link to a random stats to others here to check). Does anybody know how to solve this? Thanks in advance

You might want to post this in a separate technical thread, but when I view the link in Safari on iOS 17 it looks normal.

If you can’t find one through searching the forum, create your own thread in technical.

How long can you keep an issue unanswered?

As long as you choose, years if you want...
The only problem with this is that usually you can only have five issues queued to answer, so that if you keep any of the ones that you receive unanswered then that cuts into the number of others you can accumulate without doing anything to them. (Unless you actually write one or more issues that get accepted into the game, in which case you automatically receive those even if you already have five unanswered and can keep them as well: I remember one author saying that they'd built their queue up to fifteen issues in this way!)

You have to be an active user when the card season is released. It'll likely be several years before the next season releases if the past schedule has been any indication. If you navigate to this page, it has the dates of when each season released listed.
