ok the thing said that this was for general help as well, so i got a hypotheitcal question 4 u all:

If somebody were to invade one of the pacifics, kick everyone out real quick, then pw protect it if they could, then get all of their guys out, and there is nobody left in the region. if nobody founded their nation in that pacific, would the region cease to exist? or have the mods safeguarded this...?

Well in the first place, it's extremely hard to become delegate of a pacific. in the second, you can't password them. in the third, you have to copy and paste nation names into a box, you dont get a nice drop down list you can repeatedly click until everyone's gone. in the forth, in between kicking everyone out and the update time, new nations would probably appear in the regions. in the fifth, if you eject everyone, you'd get mod-bombed real fast and likely IP-banned.

So yes, I'd say there are safeguards. lol

well, hypothetically, would the region disappear like they do if theres no1 in them?

I'd say no, only because it is a staple region, rather than a player created region, but I'd like hear what Sal has to say about this...

When the East Pacific first appeared, the Atlantic Alliance rushed in, took the delegacy and password-protected it. I remember this because I managed to get a puppet in there.
Then, some pirate guy along with Loop came along and invaded, then removed the password.
The region promptly began filling up with new nations.

If the region was password protected...I wonder if new nations could still appear there. If they could, then it would be impossible to clean it out of all nations, since new ones would appear.

And isn't there a limit to the number of bans on one region?

Very interesting, if you cleared the region, could you refound it.

We're talking theorectically here

The system created regions will never die, even if there is no one in them. Thus, they cannot be refounded.

They wouldn't. Which causes all shades of problems, which is why those regions cannot be password protected.

Aww, Myrth, that's a boring answer. What's the good of a custom title if you can't make up fun stories about how you got it? I have some good ones, like how I hacked into the forum database and changed it (of course that's all I fooled with, even though I had the power of the forum at my fingertips), or how I was so vocally anti-christian in General that the mods awarded me this title for recognition of my posts (might encourage someone who read that to go spam general with their own vocal opinion, great plan eh?), or that I was such a universally cool person that I was designated with my very own shiny custom title.

Better than a boring ole link anyhow 8)
