I was endorsement-swapping in the Rejected Realms, as is my regular routine, and I came upon the nation of "PRChina", which was labeled as not being in my dossier or having my endorsement. Since I put all nations I endorse into my dossier to guarantee that I will know not to telegram them again, I presumed this meant that PRChina was someone I had not endorsement-swapped before. So, I endorsed them and sent my endorsement-swap message, only to find that PRChina was now in my Dossier, although I had not put it there.

In short, I can't permanently endorse this person or put him in my dossier.

*edit: It's working now- but the delay is still odd.*

When somebody can't get issues properly, they can often cure it by moving out of the region and back in. It's possible something like that has happened with this country. They are/aren't really in the region, so the game can't figure out how to handle them at update time.

That would explain the endorsement failure (not in the region? can't endorse) but the dossier thing I can't explain. Maybe I'm not understanding what happened properly:They are in your dossier, but aren't endorsed? = known region bug

You keep adding them to your dossier, but they keep disappearing? = grand mysteryMaybe when they come back online, they can try the out-and-in-again deal. You wanna TG them that suggestion?

PRChina is being successfully updated.

Kandarin - the problem sounds like a caching issue. Try hitting ctrl+F5 after you've endorsed it, this will refresh bypassing any caching proxies.

You must have a very large dossier...

Perhaps its possible that the time it took to access your dossier was so large that it timed out. So, when displaying the page of that other nation it said it wasn't in your dossier when in fact it was.

2000 nations and counting. About half of those are dead, should I eliminate them?

Probably a good idea. It isn't designed to hold that many.

600 dead nations removed and still working on it. I have a few more general questions on the subject and will post them in a new thread once I am done cleaning house.

Thanks for your help.

Considering the context... does this also mean that a player isn't required to keep track of what nations they've TMed for nations which have died? I'm thinking of the situation where a nation gets an endorsement request just before dying, then gets revived and gets another TM, and promptly files a spam complaint for having two similar/same TMs in its inbox...

I'm having a somewhat similar situation with me tracking UNs in a feeder region. While I'm storing it all in a textfile, most of the nations in that file have died. Such is life (and death) in a feeder region. I've been wondering thus if I can discard the old data, even though that means I'd probably send another TM to a nation once it has been ressurected.
