Listed region founders?

Postby James Bluntus » Fri Dec 04, 2009 3:53 am

This is just a suggestion. When you go through the region search in the world tab, it lists the delegates but not the founder. Is it possible to have both?

It lists delegates so WA telegrammers or invader/defender alliances can identify them as contacts. As founders aren't (typically) involved in these activities, listing them wouldn't do a lot of good.

It is technically possible, and having such column would, IMO, expose founderless regions in order for invader/defender alliances to spread to.

Exactly.

I don't think we should put a sign up for the raiders, "RAID HERE!"

Some founders might not feel they want to have their names shown for all the world to see.

And I suspect that most, if not all, of those regions without founders also don't want their lack of a founder shown for all the world to see.

I'm confused at how showing the founders who voted on the resolution would reveal which regions are founderless. For example, of all 11,779 WA Members, 22% voted on the last resolution to vote, "Commend Anti World Assembly"1. I don't see how you could form an accurate topographic view of the founderless NationStates with 78% of the WA not participating in the vote at all, and as it is thats only 21% of all nations. In other words, how are raiders going to take advantage of having a list of founders who supported resolutions, when only 4% of NationStates is voting on resolutions?

With that being said, other than for budding historians and statisticians, who would benefit from this improvement?

Gosh, do campaigners still use the World pages to find WA delegate contacts ? :blink:

I'll have to fix the list.

Well that's not entirely true... in general of the larger foundered regions most are run by their founders... I'd have to say it would be an ok addition to add the founders names to the list regions stuff... but it would make things a lil more crowded with not too much being added to the list. Not a bad idea though... I have thought about it myself before.

Unibot's misinterpretation of the idea wouldn't be so bad though :P

If founders are listed on the list of regions, the list can be sorted by population, and raiders could look for founderless regions about the size of their preffered prey in a matter of seconds.

The only reason to do this is to make one side's life easier, and the other side's life harder...

Defenders could use it too, as they could go through and dossier all the founderless regions+delegates without having to sort through pages and pages of the world and having to actually go to the region to check for a founder.
