Transfer foundership to another nation?

Postby The Glade of Dreams » Sat Apr 16, 2022 8:28 pm

Hi. I used Gadg8eer (a "leader-nation" meant to prevent impersonation by trolls) to found Oneiric Ocean and then realised I should have founded it with this nation because the leader-nation belongs in a different region.

Is there any way to transfer foundership or assign WA Delegate to The Glade of Dreams?

I don't think you can transfer foundership but if a nation has at least 2 endorsements (and is not being beaten by another nation or tying with), they should become WA delegate when the next daily update rolls out.

The only thing that you can do is wait until just before the update, move the founder out so that the region -- being empty -- ceases to exist at the update, and then use the "correct" nation to found it again... and hope that nobody else either moves in too close to the update for you to eject them again (which the Founder can do even while outside the region) or is quicker than you to found a region of that name after the update.

Alright, thank you.

You just tipped off raiders to your intention to refound. They may choose to beat you to the refound in order to mess with you / be mean, and they'll have a better shot at getting it than you. You may wish to wait until a random update to do it. :)

He can just temporarily put a password in his region

How would that stop someone from sniping a refound at update?

Correct me if I'm wrong but, an empty region, when it updates, is eliminated from existence. So to refound you have to password the region, clear it of all nations, and wait until the precise moment after it updates to create a region of the same name. Someone could easily beat you to creating that region first.

Doesn't matter if it ceases to exist. Anyone can refound under an unoccupied region name.

EDIT: Unless you can actually have a 0-nation region. That's just weird.

While she had no regrets about throwing the lever to douse her husband's mistress in molten gold, Blanche did feel a pang of conscience for the innocent bystanders whose proximity had caused them to suffer gilt by association.

Well yes but raiders would rather take the old one so you can't make the new one rather then making the new one before you. I wouldn't call making the region first raiding rather then just first in best dressed. Taking the old region before a new one can be made is what I would consider raiding.
