Suggestion : Addition to Delegates/Founder Powers

Greetings friends from the community and the staff!

After the recent changes/additions to the game, I have decided to forward this one too.


In NationStates, I am the delegate of a region and on numerous ocasions I have noticed the lack of something that I consider of a real importance.

My idea is for Delegates/Founder of each region to have the power of mass telegraming all the nations in it or at least a certain number. For too long active delegates (or founders) got bored to death sending the exact message to each and every one of their region inhabitants, waiting much more longer from sending one telegram to sending the next one (that 10 seconds pause if I'm right, to stop spamming - quite useful sometimes I dare to say).

What if those Delegates and Founder were given the right to mass message in their region? (ofcourse, with certain limits that apply to sending a message in the first place - not to be abusive or spamming for example - )

Ofcourse with feeder regions this can be a problem (I can imagine the mass propaganda) but just setting this to a certain amount of receivers can help alot.

Another issue is the limited time and other things the admins have their mind onto, but as the other suggestion about the 'Today's Featured Region' (a cool addition to say the least) got implemented while at first suggested by the players, I'm sure this one is duable (sp?).

I expect the views over this of the regional delegates / founders, but everyone else is more than welcomed to participate in the debate!

Or they could post the message on the region info section

Or they could post a link on the region info section to a page with the message on it

Or they could keep it on the regional message board

Or.....

mmmm... Given that the spam time between TG's is 15 sec, and let's say you manage 20, that's 3 nations a minute. So... in a feeder, for ~1000 UNs, that's a little under 6 hours if it was straight. I've done it in a day.

If you want to TG that many people that don't pay attention to your forum, Regional HQ, or Regional WFE, then you probably should have to go to the work to bother them.

This has been considered in the past but, in all likelihood, will not be implemented, due to technical limitations.
