Mmmmm ... hot food. Accepted ... with gratitude.

Whew! I was lucky to find an old file that had my login info for NS forums ... like this one. TAO HATES HDD crashes. SO TNP ... what's shakin?

When NS2 is open to players, I hope to create the NTO ... everyone except pouchies will be welcome to join with me. :)

Actually, TAO used "N" as the Number of nations in the region ... since that is a known factor and one that does have an effect on Influence. It would be great if we could gather 100 nations together (at least 10 of them WA) and create a region for experimentation. Are there 9 other players...

It doesn't have to ... But STILL this isn't feeling right ... even to me. Maybe we should split this thread and go into a formula thinktank thread. :)

OK, I left something out. Try this on for thought. I = 1/N (1 + E/WA)^t Example, Region Pouchy has 3600 nations with 500 WAs. Wombat Warriors has been in the region for 20 days and has 280 endos. Using the formula, after the 20 days, WW is a VASSAL. This is pretty close to what really...

TAO thinks the Influence awarder is an exponential equation. Still thinking through the details but time in region, number of nations (total) in region, and endos are the main positive values. In my thinking, for f(I) < 2, you are a minnow, f(I) < 3, you are a vassal, etc. The equation itself...

Thanks for the support Naivetry. But I am convinced that SW A ~chooses~ to be disagreeable. Not sure why. The problem with ANYONE in TNP being able to manage the region (game side) is the current number of WA nations with high Influence. Unless one of those nations is allowed to become...

Indeed! Why should anyone give a dammmmmn about anything in TNP? It is precisely that kind of attitude, SW A, that will prolong the current conflict and minimize the importance of TNP in the game until such time has passed that the Crimsons are either powerful enough to expel all their...

First ... nothing is fishy ... except the shirt you have been wearing all this week. Second ... the high Influence nations could STILL BE IN TNP ... just not as UN holders. Third ... the real question you or anyone else has to answer for yourself is this one, Khark: Can TAO really be trusted...

TAO never said remove UNs totally from the region. TAO said high influence nations should switch UN to a puppet or, barring that, move. The implication is to keep your UN in this region but not allow it to become a threat to a Compromise building time period (the 3-6 months). A few residents...

Suit yourself. :shrug:

First, for the good of the region, anyone with a significant number of endos who is not selected my mutual consent to be a Guardian would be asked to drop UN status and reapply UN to a puppet or leave the region for a couple of weeks. A reasonable endo cap would have to be set. Currently, 93%...

Yes.

TAO would remain for a minimum of three months and a maximum of 6. That should be more than enough time for the two main factions in TNP to create a unified governmental construct agreeable to most. With everyone endorsing TAO and no one else, (except for one or two Guardians everyone can...
