NationStates Jolt Archive

I've asked it before but I lost the thread.

What types of actions in the game count as government activity?

e.g.

Sending a telegram, voting on an issue?

Logging in.

Is that the only one, or is there other stuff.

Only one.

I have to log in to NationStates frequently (something quirky about Opera and cookies, I suspect), but my government activity doesn't refresh. Also, I stayed logged in to the forums using my primary nation, even if I've been checking on puppets.

The only way I can log in to the forums as a puppet is to exit all NS windows and logout/login afresh. I find it confoozling but not especially a problem, and I'd love an explanation if anyone has one.

Alright thanks, it's only logging in I guess.

The forums can only accept one login per IP address.

Sorry, I must not have made myself clear.

If I have two windows open to the Game, logging on to a puppet will take effect in both windows. My region and nation information reflects my current logon status. However, my Forum window will NOT change, staying logged on as Frisbeeteria the whole time. So in fact I DO appear to have two sessions from my single IP address. I can post to Regional Happenings as a puppet while posting to the Forums as Frisbeeteria.

I'm thinking perhaps that Opera has its own internal cookie cache, on a per window basis, because I haven't seen this behavior in IE. Ah well. If anyone is interested in this as a browser technical challenge, have at it. It's obviously not a NS technical issue.
