Besides, NS has always been about not being pay to win, and when someone buys campaign stamps, like in liberate westphalia, the only chance of beating them without buying stamps yourself is to know how to talk with the people who decide how GCR delegates vote (several of them have committees and votes on how the regions vote should go, not involved in that so not entirely sure how it works) , but without that ability to campaign to a select group for high votes, the only way to counter someone paying for a tag:wa, is to pay for a tag:wa. At that point, WA votes become a matter of whose willing to spend the most money on campaigning. If there's a way to fix the superdelegate problem without creating a pay to win situation, I'm all ears.

Not sure there's a good answer - but obviously if you smother the ability of the UCRs to grow then the GCRs are going to be very powerful - even if they are for all intents and purposes pretty similar to how they were years ago.

Its not so much recruitment messages being horribly written, I think. There are tons really well written in my opinion, and draw a lot of people as can be seen by having three to four UCR's break 1,000-1,300 nations. The main problem is that GCR's have a big advantage over UCR in recruitment. Feeder welcome messages arrive in the inbox almost instantaneously whereas UCR recruitment messages arrive a few minutes later. This gives them a head start in keeping nations in their region instead of leaving, as you can see by TEP because of Yuno's amazing welcome telegram.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

I'm definitely in favor of either adding more GCRs and diluting the average GCR power that way, or doing something along the lines of having the 30 founderless regions with the most WA nations act as feeders, and the next 20 act as sinkers. This would make feeder/sinker status the kind of thing that players would influence through their decision which region to support, rather than the current state, which is pretty much just arbitrary.

I feel like that would bring a LOT of heat onto those regions, since the GCRs would now have a mechanical reason to see them refounded.
Unless we're considering regions with CTE'd founder to be founderless, in which case you might as well extend it to all regions, because there'd be no way to stop a region keeping the founder account CTE'd until there's an invasion.
