This thread will contain the RMB poll results and the essays produced by TWPs best and brightest prospects for becoming leaders. Feel free to comment. It's time for the next generation to shape TWP into the region they want it to be. From the RMB: I have asked the Ambassadors to publish this information as well.

Careful. You'll get chocolate all over the dope.

Welcome to TWP, Rockin' Al! We could always use more music in our lives. Make yourself at home.

pffft. You can't steal TWP chocolate. You can take it, eat it, roll in it, wear it as an attractive bonnet, but no matter what it always still belongs to me.

sigh

Welcome! It's good to have you here.

Welcome to TWP, Melo!

Hi there! Welcome to TWP.

I strongly suggest your own welcome thread. No one will realize you are here if you just come talk to Elegarth. Afterall, we all come chat with our Bishop of Sensibility. It's the sensible thing to do.

Thank you for the update. And congrats to Klaus on his new job!

Haven Status means there were no infected in the region and the infection rate. Was zero. Once those regions got that status (Lemuria for example)you could ignore them and they remained infection free.

The problem with that (otherwise wonderful) idea, is that it requires opening and closing the borders here in order to let each wave of cured nations back in. In a region this large, I can promise you that there will be someone waiting to pounce on any keycode put on TWP or for a brief border crossing. Border openings need to be kept to a minimum. I was thinking of one or at most two toward the end of the event, with enough time afterward to clean up any horde or TZE nations that make their way in with the others.

Is everything well, with you, Shadoke?

I love that logo. Very pretty! I also find the RMB trivia search game an excellent idea. I may try something like that here.

My persective of Z3: What went well; We got quite a few large population nations to research a cure as soon as the event timer began. I figured out how to close the borders shortly after they fixed the bug, so we were protected. Autonomica's tools were a huge help in location large zombie populations for cure missile targets People were vocal and prompt about reporting horde nations and rogue TZES. We stayed organized until the very end (an amazing feat for our laidback, huge region) The Guardian System made me comfortable enough that I ejected the nations that needed it, including Vlagh, without worry for the security of the region post-Z3. What could have gone better; I did not communicate the idea that TZES do not aid the region's survivor rates at all. I received 80 telegrams from nations frustrated that I would not allow them to go around killing all the zombies in the region, afterall that how they do it in the TV Shows and Movies. If we choose the same strategy next time, we will need to improve our communication in this area. We did not notice (until too late) the damage done to our survival rates by nations (large or small) who were permitted to get nearly 100% infected and their population began dying without the interferance of TZES. An additional tool to track the infection rates in all nations would help tremendously. While we were impressivly organized, the addition of "large nation" cure missle teams and "small nation" cure missile teams would improve efficiency so that large nations can move on to the next target while the small nations clean up and bring infection rates to zero. The problems with leaving some zombies in the nations are: it effects the regional infection rate and rogue TZES can't kill healthy citizens, only zombies. We need a faster means of identifying horde nations. I could easly clear the lists generated but between refreshes we had to rely on reports of nations actually attacking. I wonder if we could run more than one tool at different intervals. A question for the code monkeys for next Z-day. Many of us, myself included had large population nations in protected regions which reached Haven status. I had intended to coordinate some immigration of those nations before the end of the event, but I could not manage to get that organized and rolling. I think we need to plan something like that before hand next time. I think that last push could have got us into the top 5. That's my 2 cents.

*considers cutting your chocolate rations after the Z-Day event*

You must be a marsupialist.

Welcome to The inner sanctum of TWP! Do you have any chocolate?

Welcome to TWP!

Not sure what happened here. But I am inexplicably disapproving.

Working from home (unless you have a separate space) makes home less relaxing, IMO.

Nice to see you here. Welcome!
