    So you want to be a Delegate

    And what about rogue delegacies supported by the vide-delegate? How would you react to it, with no Guardians to be points of jump to recover the region?

    What about rogue delegacies supported by the Guardians?  

     

    I envision the Regional Guard that I mentioned in my fifth and final point as a check against rogue delegacies.  Seeing a few scores of regional guard flags endorsing the delegate and vice delegate that can potentially disappear within just a few days should give any potential rogue delegates pause.

     

     

    I would disagree on one crucial matter though, which is the phasing out of the Guardian system. I fear that would be significantly detrimental to the security of the region. It is absolutely essential that a group of high influence nations be maintained to protect the region from both internal and external threats. The Guardian system is one of the reasons why TWP ranks as one of the most consistently secure regions in the game. We are perhaps not entirely stable in terms of internal shifts due to the power invested in said Guardians, but we are also invulnerable to coups and attacks by outside interlopers, earning TWP a deserved reputation as a very secure region.

     

    If the Guardian system was abandoned all at once, I would agree with you, but I'm only suggesting a very gradual phasing out of the system.  As the Guardians are very gradually phased out, their nations would still maintain a very high level of influence.  That being said, any GCR is virtually impervious to external threats, and, as almost every GCR has shown, it's almost impossible to protect against internal threats indefinitely.  While the Guardian system is the reason why TWP is the most secure GCR behind The Pacific, I believe it's also the reason why TWP is also the most stagnant GCR behind The Pacific.  Any nation that has been founded in the region in more than two years has had zero chance of becoming delegate, and we all know that's the one thing most new nations want to eventually do.  I think we need to stop trading security for activity.  A reputation as a more inclusive region is one we need to begin to foster.
