New Boneyard

[South Pacifican Kilendjj]

So I feel like our current boneyard needs a little bit more improvement. I have come up with a bunch on ideas in which the nation of Trivalve was able to visually represent. These designs should give a good understanding to what the new boneyard should look like:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1719736
(If you click on the first CTE'd nation it will take to to that nations more detailed CTE page)

To sum it up, the boneyard has similar design to The World page in which you will be able to click on a nation to show more information about that nation.

Well, i cant say this looks much better, because our current boneyard... well, it doesnt have a look.

why to Pallaith tho? He can't do anything about the programming of the game. Also, the technical forum is pretty much also handled by mods, so mods will see this.

Stop giving out bad advice; you clearly have no idea how anything works. Do not telegram mods about random technical suggestions; you'll either be ignored or blocked.

Thanks! They aren't perfect designs but I have been quite busy at the moment lol

[Panagouge]

Not a bad idea; the boneyard could certainly use a few QOL improvements.

yea, It's kinda mid

I did try to make a couple of CTE jokes in the stat's fields such as the dodo bird but I got lazy and just put CTE in front of the rest lol, I hope that the designs are able to clearly show what you want though.

[Trivalve]

Also if any of you have more suggestions on what should be added to the designs, notify me and I will add them to the factbook

[quoting this for reference, see above for full post] To sum it up, the boneyard has similar design to The World page in which you will be able to click on a nation to show more information about that nation.

I like the spirit of this idea (no pun intended), though I wonder: would this change include every single nation in the entirety of the game's history going all the way back 20 years - if so, is all that data recoverable? Or would this change be only for present and future active nations? How will either differentiate between nations with reused names and/or a future reused name - or will each and every use be included no matter the amount?

How will this change address challenges it could present to site staff through DEAT/OS nations? Such as residual malicious content in customizable fields, material for gloating or even shrines to well-known users (e.g. Layem)^{not to say that any of these will happen}? The current Boneyard seems like an equalizing resting place for the game's good, bad and ugly, so how does this change plan to maintain that - and if not, what is the alternative, especially considering the graves of those 'disgraced' and 'soiled'?

What non-staff recourse, if any, would be available to users who might want all their nation's info deleted as fully as possible when they CTE? And keep their privacy intact with or without what may become Hotel NSfornia, a place where our nations can CTE any 28th day we like - but they can never leave?

[Dexterra]

You have to think realistically here. Most likely if this change is implemented, it will be done to new CTEs. Unless the data of CTEd nations is stored in a database it would take ages to put in all of the nations that have CTEd

And new CTEs arrive every day, so it will effectively be an eternal converting unless we all temporarily paused CTEing.

Well actually new nations arrive everyday so that part wouldn't be much of an issue
