Population not growing?

It's strange... Yesterday I was at 1.123 billion and I'm 1.123 billion. The UN hasn't updated the biggest whatever in the region and I haven't received an issue this afternoon. What's wrong?

I didn't look at my population particularly, and I did receive a morning issue, but the UN Ranking is the exact same as yesterday's.

This happens pretty often, actually. I don't think it heralds a major problem, though it could mean Salusa needs to fix something.

I think that you are getting issues twice per day, and that there is only one update per day. Therein could lie your problem. You simply logged on 12 hours too early.

Nah, updates come twice a day and if you log on between them you'll get an issue.

And the UN ranking DEFINITELY repeated itself... even if a ranking repeats itself, the numbers should move around a bit as issues answered the day before take effect on everyone.

I just joined recently, and received my first isue, which I chose a posiiton on. I also set my settings to twice per day issues. However, I'm yet to receive another issue (and it's probably been about 24 hours), and the one issue I had had is still "Legislation Pending". Am I doing something wrong?

I have this problem as well.

Six of my nations have not gotten their population increase yesterday, and they haven't received their last two issues either.

Oddly enough I have two other nations which seem to be working normally...

Same thing again today. No population update, no new issues.

I also appear to be having this problem. An issue I answered yesterday still says 'legislation pending' next to it. I only got 1 issue yesterday despite my settings being set to 2 per day, and my population is still 1.206 billion.

I've noticed that the regions have not been updated for two days now. Not sure about the pop thing, as my nation seems to be OK, I did get an issue yesterday and today. It seems the the only part of the reset that is working, is checking to see who is still delegate. Furniture Restoration is still the ranking list, but none of the nations made in the past two days are ranked. The list has not been updated, so nations listed are not neccessarily those that are in the region.

Hope this is fixed soon. I'm still having trouble getting on this forum. Anyone else notice that?

Same thing again today. No population update, no new issues.

Also expired UN proposals are not being removed (we now have 23 pages, starting with proposals that should have expired on Thursday).

Nothing has updated (cept forums and news updates) For instance, my issues from yesterday are still "legislation pending". The UN ranking doesn't have the ranking of the newest addition to my home region.

Oh, and BTW Goobergunchia has been getting its regular two issues a day.

Yep. I have been tgrying to tell the mods that there has been a problem with certain rankings repeating often and others not appearing at all, for several months now. Every time, I get "it's random, not a bug". Maybe now that it's been noticed and has gone on 3 days in a row we can get it looked at. :D

I propose the following theory:

There are two kinds of update:

1) 1st issue update
2) 2nd issue update + UN update

I reckon the update procedure is breaking on one particular nation, meaning the some nations don't get updated at all, whereas others do get updated. The UN update hasn't happened at all.

D'you think Hack alerted the Game Admins to the fact that Francos hasn't lost his delegacy, and in order to keep to the precedent, he needs to? ;)

Heh, me either. But the non-updating rankings are getting a bit annoying (thankfully, my main nation's pop's been growing and I haven't paid attention to any of my puppets).

My population amount doesn't seem to have any problems. It is the fact that every few weeks, I seem to not get any issues at all for a day or two. Then things go back to normal. Plus I seem to keep getting the same 5 or 6 issues to pick from and no matter what I pick, the same issues again within a couple of days.

I know there are only so many issues available, but there should be some way to make them more random (for lack of better word). I had issues available in the first couple of days of joining that I have never seen again - why not see them again instead of the same 5 or 6.

This is happening in both of my nations and there are plenty of other nations in my region experiencing the same thing. Are there any others (regions/players) experiencing this as well?

My roomate started his country a day after I did and his population is 26 million, while mine is only 20 million and has not changed for several days. What does this mean?

Oh - that's not a bug, it's the way the system is set up. After your nation is a week or so old, your population increases from 5-7 million citizens per day. He obviously was getting larger increases than you.

Well its almost all fixed now, only problem is I only got one of my two issues for today (and its one without a option 3 at that, I hate those, basically it indicates the issue is a yes/no thing, which nothing EVER is)
Wimmelsburg
06-06-2004, 08:16
Ok, so I've gotten new issues again; hopefully the bug or whatever it was is fixed.

But will I also get those two population increases I haven't gotten? That'd be only fair. :)
