exageration

i feel that whenever a seriose decision on an issue or a un thingy is made that a vivid picture of its effects be sent as a telegram. so that if a massive deforestation is put into effect show a picture of a huge dead forest or a picture of riots for a very unacceptible decision to the public on something else and that puts into the effects on your society like if your such a crappy leader that you dont sign in for longer than allowed that instead of only getting deleated but getting to see one last big picture when trying to sign in while saying that your people have revolted and you were not there to lead your country away from civil war effectivelly destroying your country and killing you showing another picture of mousillini being hung by his feet i think it would be a very cool idea.

it probally would but alot of people enjoy making their nation as bad as possible (including me) so i doubt they would be too happy if they suddenly got deleted because of having a 100% tax rate and no political freedoms etc.

Do you know how many decisions there are in the game? I'm sure not drawing all those pictures.

Not to mention bandwidth.....


100k nations making a decision a day (not everyone is making one, but many are making 2 a day so it probably balances out).......anyone want to calculate that?

i geuss your right in some ways. but to remedy both of these things i have some replacement ideas. first of all i said thattt during the time that you were deleated anyways for not signing in enough is when you would get that OMG your an idiot message. two, it would be better if that only a picture be sent out for un decisions and only to un members.

You already get an "OMG I'm an idiot" message when you try to log on to a dead or non-existing nation.The nation "yourdeadnation" no longer exists.

There is no nation known as "yourdeadnation".

Make sure you haven't entered your nation's title instead of its name! For example, the name of "The Free Republic of Mynation" is simply Mynation.
As for the pictures idea - have you noticed that the entire game is text-based? I think we're going to keep it that way, but thanks for the suggestion.

Might be something to consider for NS2.

30 000 people getting an image every 5th day

People complain about NS being slow right now. This would at least quadruple the amount of bandwidth being used on the days the UN passes a resolution.
