Apparent throttling(?) of manual recruitment TGs
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2021 9:53 am
I decided to manually send a test regional recruitment TG to a newly-created puppet of mine to make sure everything worked fine and 30 minutes later it isn't in the new nation's inbox although many other recruitment TGs have gone through. My understanding (which could be wrong since I'm returning to NS after several years) is that recruitment TGs sent using stamps or the API were somewhat throttled to reduce flooding new nations with TGs, but that manually-sent TGs were exempt from this because manual recruitment is generally at a disadvantage to automated methods.
Is some kind of throttling the reason my TG wasn't received or is there some other explanation? Is there a way I can ensure that recruitment TGs go through successfully in the future? It is frustrating to see them fail to be delivered when ones sent using automation go through fine; which gives a significant advantage to regions with members who are either willing to spend RL money on stamps or have the technical prowess to use the API.
EDIT: The TG was finally delivered 56 minutes after it was sent. Is there a reason for this long of a delay?
