It just goes to show what a joke of an administration the NPO is running within The Pacific when they're now down over 100 delegate endorsements on a UCR. Not even a good UCR, I might add.

Fun history lesson for you: XKI was the first region to hit a 1000 endorsement Delegate and once had more endorsements than all of the GCRs. If this means UCRs are rising in numbers and prevalence again, that does more favors than harm to GCRs.

Oh I'm well aware of XKI's history. The major difference this time is that, back then, XKI was massive. This time around, it's just The Pacific that's small.

You've on even ground with the other feeders and yet you've got 49% of TNP's WA nations and just 42% of their endorsments.

And yeah, more favours to most GCRs sure, just not The Pacific :)

As opposed to the CCD? I heard one of its delegate's decided Thanos had the right idea. Meanwhile I've yet to witness XKI doing something as silly as that.

I think you misunderstand what I mean by "favors" and why I consider this to be more beneficial to The Pacific and not at all embarrassing, but that's probably a good thing.

Endorsements are for regional security, not for bragging rights. I'll just sit here and wait for the army you plan to summon to assail this smaller and weaker Pacific.

Actually, delegate endorsements are also for voting power within the World Assembly. The more endorsements on the delegate, the more votes they get.

I've written a few posts about it in the past if you weren't aware:

Yes, I've seen. I'm not concerned about WA voting power, either. When I write proposals on occasion, I aim for quality and thorough research on my topics, and rely on that to carry my proposals. I'm not obsessed with a numbers game. Maybe if you'd made an effort to start on something that wasn't a self-Commend for supporting fascism and then kept pushing it, you wouldn't have to start worrying about who is going to stomp you by default over the actual content and whether or not you've written something that people consider worth passing.

Pretty sure some people still have active unendorsement campaigns running against TP, at that.

I did notice a few days ago that The Pacific lagged about 300~ endorsements behind the other Pacifics, which surprised me, especially since East Durthang is the longest seated Pacifican delegate (and 2nd longest GCR delegate overall). It made me wonder what was going on (or not going on) to cause that discrepancy.

A better comparison is XKI and TP when it comes to endorsement gains in recent times, as we were roughly the same around the time the Drewpocalypse started. The reasons why vary and primarily in my opinion relate to the WA programs which involve high encouragement of endotarting as a reward for endorsing the Delegate and other security officers in the other feeders. TP has generally had the least number of endorsements in our GCR group, which is likely connected to the fact that we do not encourage endotarting and have a historically low endocap. High endotarting is something nations seem to enjoy in general. Then there's the unendorsement campaign on our Delegate that's been going on for the last year and almost a half. Take your pick.

That's a terrible comparison. One is a UCR that has to actively recruit nations (or have a YouTuber do it for them). The other is a GCR that passively has new nations be created inside it.

See the difference?

No, they specifically asked me to come here. Reasons unknown. And again, do I really have to say this again - CCD is not a fascist region.

Are you this sensitive about your region? I'm only pointing out that NPO's rule has long caused TP to lag far behind the other Pacifics, and now it's been overtaken by a UCR.

Coming from a guy from CCD? That's pretty funny. No, it's actually more annoying because we use this thread for business, not to entertain people with nothing better to do than post here because someone asked them to.

I could say the same thing about the CCD thread and no one (including yourself) seems to mind.
