    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?

    Nation States 2

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

    How does Influence Work?

    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. :)

    TAO for delegate

    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 for delegate

    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...

    TAO for delegate

    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 for delegate

    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...

    TAO for delegate

    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%...

    TAO for delegate

    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...

    TAO for delegate

    I have spoken to L&C. He understands that a prolonged confrontation in TNP will only damage the region. With all the long-term, high-endo players in TNP, it will take months to gain enough influence to begin removing challengers to the big chair. Such a conflict (actually, a stalemate) could...

    TAO for delegate

    Since this thread is still alive, does this mean TAO can become delegate for the next three to six months, everyone can endorse TAO only, all foreigners can move out, and the two sides of TNP can sit down and negotiate a mutually agreeable constitution? Every day compromise is delayed, TNP...

    TAO for delegate

    Wow ... first Lazarus and now TNP. :lol: TAO has been accused of many things in four years of game playing so nothing surprises me any more. I guess I was ~hoping~ to cooperate with Gatesville. I had hoped the GV crew could move me a hundred or so endos closer to my 1K goal. If by helping...

    Oh Polts ... you lack discernment. And you lack vision. It would seem, though, that you possess an excessive amount of bullF!SH that you like to fling about. And, yes, I believe you lack nobility ... but this opinion has now been based on your current behavior ... and your tone. IF you...

    TAO for delegate

    Flem, I agree under current conditions it will take much time to resolve. That is why any "compromise" delegate would have to be endorse by everyone and everyone would have to agree to endorse only that one delegate. With 500+ endorsements in a region where all others have a dozen or fewer...

    TAO for delegate

    No one is "clamoring" here. And having a group of Guardians is THE BEST way to protect the region onsite. With a dedicated team of 5 such players, a feeder region could switch delegates every three months and never be taken by any outside power or internal coup ... save for an action involving...

    I would agree, Eluvatar ... many of those who came AFTER the rogues were among the more selfless.

    Polts ... your "tone" conveys those things you claim never to have said. And I think you overlooked that my comments were made to both you AND SW A. And you are less than correct in stating TAO has done "jackF!SH" for this region. While it is true that I have stood on the periphery of the...

    TAO for delegate

    Polts and SW A ... NationStates is meaningless fluff, boys (and girls) ... if you really want to get technical. But I would question why you would want a Community with meaningless positions. Is Delegate the ~only~ position in the region or the forum worth striving for? If that is your...

    TAO for delegate

    TAO has had a nation in TNP since March 2004. One doesn't get much more native than that. TAO has come here at Flemingovia's invitation. Most of you know me. Many of you watched carefully to see what TAO would do as Delegate of TWP. Some may even have been surprised to see that TAO didn't...
