Currently, not only does the site randomly select from manual, api, or stamp queues to draw recruitment messages from with a 1/3 chance of processing a particular queue (or 50% if one of the others is empty, etc) but within each such queue it's equally likely to select any of the queued telegrams. Whether you just messaged a brand new nation or you queued a manual telegram yesterday it will be treated the same.
The concept is to prefer more recently queued telegrams in the case of manual telegrams. This would mean that sending a few telegrams once in a while would be more effective than sending the same number of telegrams in one go, and if you manually messaged a brand new nation you'd have a better chance of reaching their inbox quickly.
As I write this reply, I realize there's a very simple way to implement this. I'd just want to make sure to collect some statistics to do a good before/after comparison and to get some input from the community, mediated as necessary by our development manager Katganistan.
PS: Wymondham could you please also post a link to this topic in the Communications tech development thread?

I'd also like to see manual TGs get more of the first few slots (and API ones less), if that were simple to implement at the same time.

Just noting that telegrams are read in reverse chronological order. Like is this going to result in manual TGs being buried?
You might want to consider a system where manual tgs are temporarily “pinned” to the top of the tg box until you check off the tg’s pin.
