A good idea?

I think the nation dossier should allow you to click buttons to say whether each nation is an ally, enemy, or other.

I think that this would fall under the category of "too much coding."

Intresting idea. I don't think it would be worth it for all nations who don't RP, or play in II at all, since they wouldn't need it. But this is still a very good idea. :)

And so the paw of judgment falls upon the flamers, spammers, and just all around hosers of NS.
I'm helping to stop the Noobageddon before it starts.

I was gonna say that, but then I thought about it. I decided that such a little thing where you have a choice of three options with a box next to each wouldn't be that hard to code. Like for example-

The Barkless Land of The Basenji- #Friend #Neutral #Enemy

Each hash mark would show a clickable box. Wheter the amount of time to code such a thing would be worth it, I'm not sure.

Of course, my knowledge of this kinda tech stuff could be written on a post it note, so don't take what I say too seriously! :lol:

If it did happen, I'd put all of the n00bs who spammed my inbox with flames (I have a good memory) back in my Dossier, classsified as "Enemy". :twisted:

Of course I am sure that it will not happen.

I can't remeber any of the ones that did it to me, although I do remeber one that made a nation called- "I Hate Basenji" after I got one of his nations deleted for spamming up my telegram box.. THAT was funny. :lol:

How can you not have heard of Francos Spain?!? He's the delegate of the Pacific who holds power through terrorism, and the mods dislike but can not get rid of because he plays within the rules.
you're joking right?

True, but is it easier to make allies in II?

Depends what you're looking for I guess

You'll get more responces to a post in II...but will they be of quality?

Off topic for a second: How can you tell how old a nation is? (without trying to find one of their posts)

You can guess from the population...but it's easier to search for their posts and check that way.

I'd say by population, my allies are quite new then. Never mind. Newbie allies are better than no allies (provided they at least try to rp)

Look right above the number of posts, it has a date the nation was made.

um...that requires finding one of their posts :? (thanks anyway)

Time to get back on topic. Ally, Neutral, Enemy indication: a good idea, right?

What do you mean finding one of their posts? All you have to do is look under the name of the nation on the left hand of your screen, and it says the date it was made. :?

But yeah, I think it would be a good idea. :)

I mean, you might not be in the forum at the time that you want to know their age.

For example, a telegram or regional board message.

As for ally/neutral/enemy, it does seem like an RPer knda thing...and the closest I get to that is the UN forum ... and only occasionally. Some people wouldn't have a use for it. Also, when woudl you set it? It woudl just be a drop-down thats always there or you would need to set it when you add them?

Actually, the Friend, Neutral, Enemy stuff could also be written on a Post-It note. "Think about it for a moment." :wink:

Seriously, though, I would suggest that oyu use a word processor for this purpose. That way, you can take extensive notes about someone and store it on your computer.

If you access NationStates from more than one location, you could try to find some online resource to use for storage. I've heard of things called "blogs", online journals that can be accessed over the internet. You just specify a section of your blog as private and use that to store notes about NationStates.
