Banner over-generously granted?

Postby Bears Armed » Wed Jul 13, 2022 10:41 pm

The text for the new banner Fall From Power says "Pass a World Assembly resolution and then lose all of your endorsements".
I can see why it's granted to Co-Authors as well as main authors, presumably by keying it into possession of either or both of the WA authorship badges, but Bears Armed has just received it even though our 'GA Author (x2)' badge was earned years after this nation ended its brief membership of the WA & so lost all of its endorsements...
If the intention actually was to give this banner to all nations that have any WA authorship badges but are currently not in the WA, then the accompanying text would seem inaccurate, and needs re-writing.
If that was not the intention, and so Bears Armed [for example] should not have received this banner, then is some sort of re-coding of the eligibility conditions in order to fix this glitch possible, or are we left with (1+ WA authorship badge, & not now in the WA) as the only way of handling it?

The banner is being awarded correctly, and the text doesn't seem misleading to me. Your nation has both passed a WA resolution and subsequently lost all of its endorsements.

I never intended this banner to be overly restrictive - getting a WA resolution passed is difficult enough - but I can see how this particular scenario wouldn't fit the text.

Can you confirm that both of your badges were awarded for being a co-author after resigning from the WA?

I'm certain of that.

Hi, I have a somewhat-related question. For the "Fall From Power" banner, does this extend to endorsements lost before the banner existed? For example, I coauthored GA Resolution #459, and in the years since have resigned from the WA several times for R/D business. However, I have been in the WA for the entirety of the badge's existence, and don't intend on leaving soon. Am I eligible for the banner, or would I have to leave the WA again?

There’s no historical stat for WA endorsements, so no. If you currently have endorsements, it won’t trigger till you lose them.

For now, I think we'll have to consider co-authorship by non-WA nations to be a known exception to the actual text of the description (which I'd rather not change, since it's still accurate for the majority of nations that would receive this banner).

Okay. Well, at least you're aware that the situation exists...

For your reference, the description and title of this banner have now been changed to account for co-authors who may not have ever had any endorsements. The banner is now called "International Outsider".
