Leader's form of address

Postby Movovia » Thu Jan 13, 2022 4:28 pm

I don't know if this affects anyone but me but I think it would be useful for the nation's leader to have separate first and third person forms of address for use in the Issues.
My leader is known as His Excellency but in direct conversation should be addressed as Your Excellency.

I argue against this idea in the practical absurdity of its implementation. Such a minor change will not be edited into nearly 1500 issues on a whim. Nor will game mechanics be altered for what boils down to the minutest of semantics.

I, or another Editor, could probably go back and edit it in easily enough - it'd take a few hours, but it's doable. But would something that only the player would see be worth those few hours of my time?

And it'd have to be coded, though, before we/I did that and again - is that worth [v], Elu, or Max's time when it'd only be seen by the player reading the issues?

From a technical standpoint, it's doable, even from the editors point of view, but a cost-benefit analysis doesn't endorse it. A nice idea but there are other things much, much higher on the to-do list.

[violet] has been clear in the past that she doesn't want to clog up nation creation or the setting page with more optional fields. If we added all the things that had been requested, Setting would be 25 pages long.

So no.

I suspected as much but thanks for the consideration.
