Idea for improvement: Endorsement tracking.

As you all know, the bottom of the screen provides a list all those who have endorsed your nation, but does not provide a list for whom you have endorsed. I think that would be a great "little" feature to have for those of us who have trouble remembering whom we have endorsed. :?

Thanks,
Eric.

This would be useful. Perhaps it could be a like 'View Dossier.'
You click 'View Endorsements' and it lists the people you've endorsed. It would probably be useful for invaders as well.

Should you be able to view only your own, or other people's too?

Other peoples too.
Hypothetical situation: let's say I want to know everyone who Xnation has endorsed. If anyone can see them, I just look there. If only they can see them, I check all the UN nations in Xregion to see if they've been endorsed by Xnation. Allowing all to see it would simply save time.

I've always wished for a feature like this... I think it would be best if only you could see your own though... some regions are too big to look through to see who everyone's endorsed, which is just part of the game...

Also, not exactly this but relating to management of endorsements, would be to be able to "break" endorsements given to you. ie someone endorses you who you dont wish to be associated with, you should be able to reject their endorsement of you. Maybe its not too important but Id like to see it.

I don't think you should be able to do this...

Shouldn't be able to do which? View yours, others, or both?

I thought you could already see who a nation is endorsed by just by visiting their page. . .

Uh... basically what you suggested, being able to see who you have endorsed, but letting every other player see who you've endorsed as well.

Hmmm... on second thoughts, it would probably be a good idea for you to be able to see who people have endorsed. It would make endorsement-swappers even more obvious.

Just out of curiosity, what would be the practical application for this?

Myrth, I think you're right about what it'd do and therefore think it shouldn't be implemented.

You can see it easily enough by just comparing a couple of nations in your region anyway.

I can't remember who all I have endorsed. It would make a quick and easy way to see if I have endorsed all those whom have endorsed me.

2. Yeah, that's what I thought at first. It would mean Francos reign of terror would be extended further.

Facillitate regoinal politics that much more. Many's the time when I've wished for a list of who X nation endorsed - or even who I endorsed.

I'm not really all that worried about who is endorsed by whom. I'm just hoping for a quick, easy cross-reference of those that have endorsed me compared to those that I have endorsed. If I want to know whom someone else has endorsed, I can just view their nation.

I just realized the error in my post. You can see who has endorsed a nation, not whom they have endorsed. Sorry,

Eric. :oops:

Eric. Well you see, we've expanded on your idea a bit ;)

Hey, that's cool. I'm all for expansion. :D

Seems like a good idea and it saves you a lot of time trying to work out who you endorsed so i'm all for it :D
