World Assembly Acceptance

[TannerFrankLand]

I was looking around and I glanced at the WA Recent Events board, I saw someone was accepted two minutes after he applied... that would make sense if everyone was accepted at update, or at some time. But there was only like 3 accepted in this short time period. So how did this guy get accepted so quick?

God, of course.

It's Max Barry!

Probably applied right before the update?

[Scarsaw]

Probably applied right before the update?

That's what probably happened.

Do all the emails go out at update?

From what I've 'heard' from from [violet] the emails go out at the updates.

No, I think the answer is a little different, though maybe I'm not understanding the question.

The 24 hour delay is to receive the email. However, you only enter the WA once you click the link in the email. Thus if you have puppets you want to swap status for quickly, you give them each a different email and apply to the WA (thereby avoiding multiing). So long as you don't actually enter the puppets into the WA it's legal. Then once you want to swap the status, all you have to do is resign your nation and click the link for the puppet.

Yeah but he clicked the apply button, 2 minutes ago, got the email, and then clicked the link in the email seconds ago. (or at least those were the times this morning.) If the emails are sent out at update it makes sense then...

In between the two events is the processing of the application. Don't know what's involved in that. (Does the system do anything to ascertain if an applicant already has a WA nation? For what reason would WA membership be refused?)

Unlike regional updates, I think the server that does WA stuff is constantly updating all day long. Otherwise the entire day's batch of WA applications, CTEs, WA memberships granted, etc. would be posted in one big batch, once in a 24 hour period.

CTEs happen in batches, but the update takes place region-by-region rather than acrosss all of NS simultaneously...

1) Yes - by email address, at least.
2) If the applicant already has a WA nation using that email.

Bears Armed is right. This is all happening on a single server, which simply tackles each region individually at update, then moves on to the next region in the list. Think of the WA page as a specialized region. WA applications are posted immediately (just like movement through a region posts immediately on the Regional Happenings). WA memberships are granted when a nation clicks on that link, and that information also appears immediately.

CTE's, on the other hand, happen at the minor or midday update, as well as at the major update - so twice a day as the update moves through the various regions. They post in the regional happenings as that region updates, and CTE's of WA members are posted in a duplicate, simultaneous announcement on the WA page. While I've never pinned down exactly when WA emails get sent out (we always apply well in advance of when we want to use them, because we can't risk not having one on hand), it does seem to be all at once, either as part of the update or as a separate task at its own individual time.

By my original post, the emails go our in between when he applied and when he was admited, which was the end of a debate, (I was raid watching).
