[REQUEST] Change residency tracker reset only at update

[Kaboomlandia]

Would it be possible to change the residency tracker so that it only resets if you're out of the region for an update? The reason I say this is because I accidentally moved this nation out of Europeia for three seconds between update by accident, and now I'm 1,317th in residency.

Would it be possible to change the residency tracker so that it doesn't reset if you leave the region, it just stops growing? The reason I say this is because I accidentally moved this nation out of Europeia for three seconds by accident, and now I'm 1,317th in residency.

That sounds terrible.

This is a good idea.

[Almonaster Nuevo]

Yeah, we had a discussion about that before it was implemented. Everyone who commented wanted it more forgiving, but Elu didn't like it.

My feeling is that it should only count as a move if you're elsewhere for the update.

To add on to this, could we round the residency on the census?

Looks like someone didn't do %.2f.
it's obviously not C but that's the only language i know

I'm just wondering, wouldn't that generate a lot more data to save since you'd have to keep track of each player's residency in every region they went to? I do like the idea though.

I'm not sure whether that's what the OP wanted.

Under my proposal - no. You only clock up residence in your current region, but you don't move for residency purposes until you spend an update in a new region. That would mean you could hop over to a non-embassy region and post a message without losing your record.

The formatting would have no effect on what was stored.

I think that could work. I more want to change it so people don't lose their residency if they region-hop between updates to post on RMBs.

EDIT: I've also edited the OP to clarify the question I'm asking.

I thought that was what puppets were for.

[Ranko Kanzaki]

Sounds too much like a good idea. We can't have that around here!

But, yeah, I think that makes far more sense than the current system...

Of the misfortune of accidentally moving it DURING an update. I love your idea!

Aussie, you really didn't need to bump this when you already have a current thread that you started available.
