Ground Rules
This topic is intended to be a way for site administration and the community to discuss the feature and improve understanding. This topic will not be permitted to become a flaming free-for-all of an argument, useless to everyone and infuriating to many.
- A player may post using one (and only one) nation in this topic. Do not use puppet nations.
- Please address other players only in a completely respectful and cordial manner.
- Please keep in mind site rules in general and the bad faith policy specifically (which applies to this topic).

There was a previous plan called "Delegate Elect". This is not that plan.
This is the feature being considered:
- The game will track endorsements live. A “World Assembly Endorsements Given” census scale will be introduced, and the “World Assembly Endorsements” census scale and ranking will be updated whenever an endorsement is given, withdrawn, or a nation moves.
- Whenever the most endorsed nation is not the region’s incumbent WA Delegate, that nation is the region’s WA Delegate-Elect.
- Whenever there is a WA Delegate-Elect:
- Neither the incumbent WA Delegate nation, nor any Regional Officer nation appointed by them (alternatively, any Regional Officer nation, period: under no circumstances will this affect a Founder nation, however), may eject the WA Delegate-Elect nation or any nation endorsing it.
- If the incumbent WA Delegate nation’s endorsement count exceeds the WA Delegate-Elect’s, the WA Delegate-Elect loses their status. (This would leave them and their endorsers open to ejection again.)
- When a region goes through a WA Update, if there is a nation in the region with more (valid) endorsements than the incumbent WA Delegate, the nation with the most (valid) endorsements will become the WA Delegate. (This is exactly the same as things are now.)
The goal of this change is to allow players to take action at any time which may have an immediate effect (and may also be immediately reversible).
Please provide input regarding the pros and cons of this form of Delegate-Elect. If you have suggestions for improving this plan, I would welcome them.
Please discuss the pros and cons of this form of Delegate-Elect or related matters. If you have questions about the feature as described, please feel free to ask. Please keep in mind, however, that I do not guarantee I will read every post in this topic with full care and consideration: that is the purpose of the request for comments topic.
