Sssshhh....I don't believe there have. But we could always manufacture a terrorist threat to consolidate the support of the sheeple.

Hey, Nastic's back.
Some mighty fine graph making there, Valentine.

According to this graphic posted by Lord Valentine in "current endorsement ranking" thread, El Castillo has 195 endos, but given only 12 !!(in words: twelve). 
This is a bug or isn't it?

No bug. I'm curious as to how he does it.

Perhaps he removes them afterwards?

I recieved a telegram from el castillo asking for my endorsement in exchange for his/hers. He/she did not actually endorse my nation. If, as has been illustrated, el castillo has garnered 195 endorsements in exchange for twelve, I imagine it is because he/she does not actually return the endorsement promised in the telegram. Or perhaps el castillo is in command of a 100 member plus army?

Probably a combination of not actually endorsing nations, people will tend to assume that you did indeed endorse them if they have said they have and simply removing the endorsements afterwards without the other nation noticing.
It doesn't seem like a good way to make friends.

Madam, are you daring to imply that El Castillo's motives may have been less than honorable?
*Byardkuria goes to retrieve his popped monocle.

If he says he is going to do something and then doesn't... well yeah, I'd say he was messin' with people.

Ah, so you have to write back in order to get the endorsement. Now that's an interesting twist. 
Leaving the forums for a time is always hazardous: When you return, you may suddenly find that people you thought were all trustworthy are suddenly at war and accusing each other of treason. It's difficult to know who to trust.
As far as I can see, the delegate and the government are at odds. The delegate claims the government is, uh, "decaying", while the government calls the delegate a "rogue".
What's going on here? Do I have to read the ten-page ream in the Delegate Office to understand, or can it be summed up in two sentences?

This may interest Eluvatar, but pretty much nobody else.
My next version of EndoSpider will have a proper user agent:
(The final bit varies and praises one of the three game admins randomly. Just thought that if any human actually reads the NS logs, it might as well be funny.)
Oh, the Aurora part. Just the Next Thing I'm working on...

The scanner was shortly online while I upgraded the server to PHP 5.2.3.
However, I neglected to install the cURL extension, so it was impossible to re-scan since then. Instead, I have now modified the scanner to use a socket HTTP client written for Drupal.
The added bonus is that it is about 3 times as quick now - takes around 10 minutes to run through TNP, while it used to take 25-30 minutes on good days.

My script takes quite awhile to run. Long enough that I haven't bothered to time it. *chuckles*

Wow, I'm higher than I expected.
For the ones who can see the full page, it also now displays some percentages - UN membership, endorsement saturation, average reciprocation rate (success rate for tarters), how secure the region is against invasion, etc.
So far, I've completely ignored the influence system though - it just baffles me too much, so I'm keeping to the endorsement counts that I can understand.
Edit: Who's Saldyrin? I don't recognize him.

I will be moving these last several posts over to the discussion thread, where they belong, in the morning.
And the matter has been in discussion within the SC for several days.

Terry Jacks has been tarting, and heavily from the ranking.
"CommRanger" puts me slightly at ease, but not quite. Who is this guy?

I just ran it. 
I usually run it once a week, unless I have a compelling reason to run it more frequently.

I remember the days when the mere fact I had a UN nation in the region meant it was run daily
