Regional founder Discord server

[ Dispatch | Thread ]

Hello, Gameplay! I have a quick announcement to make. On Sunday night, I launched a new Discord server exclusively for region founders to exchange advice, best practices, and stories about their time at the top. The overall idea of this server is to facilitate community development in regions large and small and help new founders get started in their role. We are judgment-free, spam-free, and recruitment-free, and every week we have discussion topics related to region-building.

Already we have some big names, some lesser-known names, and a pretty nifty bot that lets you design your own roles. Activity is through the roof, with thousands of posts in the 36 hours we have been open. If you are a founder*, no matter how new, we invite you to be a part of this great new meta-community! (If you know a founder, forward this to them.)

To join this server, click here! Hope to see you soon.

*No puppet storage regions, please.

Maybe extend the server for Delegates?

Otherwise, that's a very cool idea.

Aww, I feel excluded :(

Founds a region.

Hello there!

I actually have founded a region but for now it’s small so I have it under the radar. So have fun. It’s a cool idea, just not something I can join

Neat idea though, founders need all the advice they can get.

I think this is a good idea as a benefit to our Gameplayers. Well done, August. :)

I think August stated in the dispatch that a puppet storage doesn't count.

Thanks, all! Two days in, we have 6500 posts and 65 members from a diverse assortment of regions. It is already proving to be an effective platform for region-building advice.

Small founders who have not begun development on their regions are welcome too, if they are interested in picking up some tips.

That is now in the works! Thanks for the suggestion.

What message does it give you? There is only one invite link, and nobody is banned, so I am not sure what the issue could be. A screenshot might be helpful, too.

This server has now been open for nearly a week (our limited rollout was last Sunday night, and invitations went out on Monday). Now, for a few updates.

Total posts: 11400
Total users: 100 (!!!), including those pending confirmation
Confirmed founders: 79
Number of regions represented: 86
List of regions (alphabetical): 21st Century Rome, Alvaris Confederation, Anime Land, Anteria, Ascotera, Association of the Countries of the Free, Auratus, Avadam Inn, BLITZKRIEG, Canterbury, Cape of Good Hope, Carolingia, Cobalt Network, Commonwealth of Expeditionary Colonies, Commonwealth of Liberty, Conch Kingdom (+RP), Council of Islamic States, Dawn, Democratic States Alliance, Driselbia, Dythinia, Elparia, Enadia, Equality and Development Coalition, European Union, Europeia, Force, Forum Byzantium, Gilgamesh, Greater Olympus, Hippy Haven, Indian Sub Continent, KAISERREICH, Karma, Lands End, Lily, Lunar Alliance, Meihua, Narnia, New Central Europe, New Western Atlantic, Norden, Northern Pact, Official European Union, Ridgefield, Selene, Siberaian Galactic Filament, Solar Alliance, Spiritus, Straw Hat Pirates, The Achaemenid Empire, The Amish Republic, The Angirisian Empire, The Bar on the corner of every region, The Brotherhuud, The Continental, The Council of the Multiverse, The European Union, The Free Nations Region, The Front of United Priapusians, The Galactic Order, The Good Ship Revenge, The Internationale, The Kaiserreich, The Kingdom of Great Britain, The New Mappers Union, The Ragerian Imperium, The Region That Has No Big Banks, The Roman Empire, The Tamrielic Empire (+provinces), The Union of Democratic States, The United Coalition of Nation States, The United Federation of Free Nations, THE VUN, The Western Isles, Tool, Trav Khar, Union of Confederate Regions, Union of Nations, United Conservative Alliance, United Nations, World Organisation, Yuno

As you can see, we have gotten off to a strong start, with a colorful variety of names contributing to this effort! Founders from all sorts of regions have shown up--from roleplayer to political gameplayer, capitalist to communist to fascist, raider to defender, tiny to enormous, and extremely old to brand new--all in the name of community-building. Our first weekly discussion topic was "What is the best region-building advice you ever received?", and we had some great responses from the pros. Among newer founders, recruiting methods and ways to encourage activity in a young region have proven to be popular subjects so far. If you are reading this and your region is not on the list above, pass it along to your founder! S/he will thank you for it.

As we skid into a new year, the NS Founders Discord returns to action! \o/ Here's an update.

Total posts: 24128
Total users: 73, including those pending confirmation
Confirmed founders: 44
Number of regions represented: 45
List of regions (alphabetical): Agheasma, Anteria, Ascotera, Assembly of Independent Nations, Association of the Countries of the Free, Atrosia Isles, Augustin Alliance, Bhutan, Caer Sidi, Capital Heartland, Commonwealth of Expeditionary Colonies, Commonwealth of Liberty, Conch Kingdom RP, Conifer, Creative Assembly, Driselbia, Elparia, Enadia, European Union, Europeia, Force, Gay, Ikuisuus, KAISERREICH, Karma, Natan Region, Norden, Northern Pact, Official European Union, Simul, Solar & Lunar Alliance, Spiritus, Straw Hat Pirates, The Confederacy, The Free Nations Region, The Front of United Priapusians, The Good Ship Revenge, The Ragerian Imperium, The VALTIC, The Western Isles, Union of Nations, United Free Nations, United Nations, Voltarium

The NS Founders Discord server has been idle for a bit, but discussions on region-building have begun once more. Our most recent discussion topic was "What is the best region idea you never had the time/energy to turn into reality?" We've all had dreams about region ideas we would love to get going if we only had to time to devote to them... and it was fun to share those with other founders and be inspired by their ideas! Our next discussion will start this afternoon, so if you are a founder come be part of it! Or if you know someone who is a founder, let them know about this Discord server. :)
