Oh no no no. I'm not being roped back into r/d again. Pls no

Just a random thought, should military matters not fall under the Delegate? Idk
-
An RO with BC has double the influence cost for ejecting.
Ah very true, I missed that.
-
I think the ability to give nations the ability to eject effectively means slingshots are now completely redundant?

Over the next few days, regions will gain the ability to appoint nations as Regional Officers, with authority over specific areas. For example, a Diplomacy Officer can be given the authority to establish embassies with other regions, and a Communications Officer to recruit and manage welcome telegrams. The name and authority of each office is up to you.
To identify the power a nation holds in its region, you'll begin seeing new icons on nation pages beneath the region, signifying their authority: Executive, World Assembly, Appearance, Border Control, Embassies, Communications, and Polls.
This feature has come from much community discussion over a long time: thank you very much to everyone who contributed! It's a big change (affecting over 5,000 lines of code) and could make a big difference to regional dynamics.
Summary
Regions may appoint up to 12 Regional Officers.
Executive authority is required to appoint, dismiss, or modify Regional Officers. Only Founders and Delegates can have Executive authority.
Apart from Executive authority, Regional Officers can be granted the ability to do anything a Founder or Delegate does.
No Influence is required to appoint, dismiss, or modify a Regional Officer.
Influence costs are doubled for Regional Officers. That is, most functions can be used freely, but some Border Controls, such as ejecting nations, are harder to use.
Regional Officers retain power until dismissed.
The Delegacy can be given a specific set of powers, rather than (as is the case today) being either powerless or fully executive. For example, a region could set their Delegacy to grant authority over Border Control but not Appearance.
Some interesting changes that have been a long time coming.

Oh my god that factbook is so beautiful

Hehe. It's funny watching you two argue.

Sssshhhhh

I feel kind of like Cormac was desperate to portray himself as a hero? Idk.
Honestly, while I don't think we need to thank him, I also don't think we should be condemning him. No response would be appropriate, because his intervention was largely irrelevant and just got him some random publicity. But that's just my opinion.

I'm not sure banning him from this forum was necessary and am not sure I agree with the decision, for the record. But the decision is yours, adminy-gods, and I'll just accept you had your reasons.

URAP didn't even have the guts to coup the place himself, which is at least keeping things in house, and which I can sort of almost respect. Nooo, he had to go give his nation to some other people and they did the dirty work for him. That's a much less forgivable offence imo.
-
I think we'd all do well to be calm. He's a coward, but being angry at him doesn't achieve anything. Redirect that energy into getting nations to unendorse him.

I invite anyone to have a conversation with me, I would ask that they PM or TG me however. The thread was locked and continuing it would be inappropriate.
I would ask BBD specifically to TG me as he may see me as less of a brick wall there than here.
Generally, relocating conversations to behind closed doors does not make people very happy.
-
Don't bother, we're already planning things.
Very promising.
You'd do well to elaborate, maybe? I get the feeling a few people are sick of these generic and dismissive excuses.
-
Any talk on the street about TWP having a complete dickhead for a Delegate?
No? Only a matter of time then.
Haha, harsh.
Them robot voices were a tad freaky.
