Frontiers, Governors, Successors and Injunctions

Might have already been pointed out, but I've noticed that the process of converting a frontier to a stronghold (and potentially vice versa) does not appear in the filtered activity feed in any way- I'm not sure it's been assigned a category. Noticed in Amaranthine Islands today (https://www.nationstates.net/page=activ ... hine_isles)

Should probably be under Admin filter. And in happenings in general.

Yep. I've put a request in for that to be changed.

3. Regions that found as frontiers are initially delegateless until a delegate is elected at update. This will only confuse and frustrate new players; to "found" a region they then cannot edit. I would have thought they could have delegate off the bat, even if they will msot likely lose it at the first update.

This is how things are (unless I missed something) if you found a region with a non-executive founder in the current version, so it's precedented. Though maybe the founder starting off with the main five regional officer perms upon founding a frontier (or non-exec region) would be optimal.

It would have been nice to know (as a new player) that Frontiers are not regions that you can edit as the founder. Is there a way to change my new region from Frontier to something else where I can edit my region?

Yes, it is possible to transition away from Frontier status. The FAQ and the News post have information on Frontiers:

This should be implemented now.

At the risk of being criticised by certain people for suggesting this; but shouldn't nation respawns work in the same way as foundings so that:

The Current Sinkers/Restorers + the Rejected Realms get 50 percent of all refounds

The other 50 percent being refounded on frontiers using the same magnetism mechanic used on frontiers

I am thinking that if regions get founded on User Created Regions, they should also recieve restorations as well

What do you mean by "not refounding nation respawns"?
If you're referring to all refounds, see viewtopic.php?f=15&t=548002

Sorry if this is a bit late, but in the criteria for a frontier to be viable for spawns, it mentions that it can't have more than 5,000 nations, but the largest frontier has less than 2,000. Maybe that cap wasn't as needed?
