I support this ideaJakker wrote:While feeders have decreased in size since the Drewboom, they are still very large even with sinkers increasing to similar numbers. This idea isn't about just trying to reduce the size of other feeders, but hopefully introduces a new element to the game that excites players from various sides of NS and tries to expand the notion of what a feeder is.
A Feeder Warzone that permanently is the last region to update.
Here are some benefits to this idea:
-Since it will be a warzone, it will not be affected by a lot of stagnant issues that most feeders deal with in terms of immense influence collection.
-Additionally, the warzone aspect will likely deter some players so it won't just become another GCR for people to hold power in forever, but the feeder aspect and it being a new GCR will still bring interest.
-With it being the last region to update, it will not add update issues for R/D. Additionally, because it will update last it will not only spark interest for R/Ders who will likely try to use it as a jump point but also it will make it feel like update time has decreased. While this will not actually be the case, over time, with more nations moving there and less to the other feeders, the regions that will be involved in R/D will all update beforehand and therefore, do so earlier than currently. Also even though it is likely to be used as a jump point for R/D at times, it could also be risky depending on who is in charge of the region.
-It will be a fast-paced environment which might feel a bit more like NS of old. But there is still the possibility that it will eventually become stable like Warzone Sandbox with a lot of endos. I imagine this will take some time and opens up a lot of possibility for player creativity like cool RPing (imagine roleplaying a nation born into a warzone) or creating a bridge between the Warzones and Feeders.
-With it forever staying as the last region to update, it kind of adds a consistent presence in NS that the region can build an identity around like The North Pole or The North Star.
Again, this idea hopes to add a new element of the game that helps us rethink current aspects of NS. It's an idea I've had for a bit and would love to hear others' thoughts/feedback!

It seems to me like it'd be a lot of work to take control of and maintain just to have a slightly better jump point. I'd almost think an update order shuffle would be beneficial if this theoretical region were to be created as it would make it politically and militarily more attractive.

Basically, if raiders hold it then defenders will never use it and vice versa. Whats the point of using a JP that the delegate might decide to kick you out of suddenly and miss your jump? And what about regions like Lily, who do very fast tagging? They'll get reported for RH spam in a GCR daily.
Honestly, sounds more like TBH wants a feeder of their own than anything else.

Yeah possibly. It being last isn't necessarily needed, but I thought it would add another unique characteristic that the region can use in their branding/culture and it would also help make update feel a bit shorter for those who participate in R/D updates since the time it would take for the other GCRs to update will decrease a bit over time. Some organizations, especially younger ones, may see value in trying to maintain it for a JP. I think there is also value in it not just being used for one as well, so a community could flourish as well in time. It would be kind of cool for it to have multiple possibilities. Maybe it is used for military operations at times, but it also has potential for other region-building aspects.

With no influence costs, it becomes basically impossible to capture from whatever organisation holds the region once their presence is established.
Given recent R/D operations, it seems likely that a coalition of raiding organisations would have greater numbers available than defenders right now to try and take the region, and of course considering this, the whole idea makes perfect sense given it's coming from a very senior member of TBH.
