I guess this is the place to ask my questions. :D
Bug reports, general help, ideas for improvements, and questions about how things are meant to work.

I have a number of questions about the UN Delegacy, and which nation would become Delegate in a number of situations. I know the following cases are very unlikely, but I'm just curious. :rolleyes:

1. A region has been recently created, and there is currently no UN Delegate. During the day, Nation A and Nation B receive 2 endorsements each, and so at update time they both have the same number of endorsements. Let's just say both nations joined the region at the same time and they both have the same influence. What happens? Does anyone get the Delegacy?

2.Nation A is the UN Delegate in Region X. Nation A has 4 endorsements. During the day, Nation B and Nation C both get 5 endorsements, so that at update time, Nation B and Nation C have more endorsements than the current UN Delegate, but both nations have the same number of endorsements. Who gets the Delegacy?

3. Nation A is the UN Delegate of Region X. Nation A has 6 endorsements. During the day, Nation B gets 6 endorsements, so at update time, Nation A and Nation B both have the same number of endorsements. Who gets the Delegacy? Does influence play a role in this situation?

Let's just say both nations joined the region at the same time and they both have the same influence. What happens? Does anyone get the Delegacy?Impossible. One joined before the other. While the regional happenings only give vague times, it's recorded much more accurately than that. The older nation is Delegate, even if it's a matter of seconds.

Nation B and Nation C have more endorsements than the current UN Delegate, but both nations have the same number of endorsements. Who gets the Delegacy?As above: whichever entered first.

3. Nation A is the UN Delegate of Region X. Nation A has 6 endorsements. During the day, Nation B gets 6 endorsements, so at update time, Nation A and Nation B both have the same number of endorsements. Who gets the Delegacy? Does influence play a role in this situation?The current Delegate retains the position.

What, you mean Sal actually fixed that now? :p

I remember one time, it was actually the last who entered, then later, after Sal said he fixed it, it was almost as if it was randomly picked, can't exactly remember how, but I do remember one time it picked the person in the middle..

Yes, we were crazy enough to test those things.

Was quite some time ago though, so maybe Sal actually did fix it now, you never know with those masked people...

Last summer, I'm almost sure that I beat the other guy into a region by a few hours, we had equal endos, but he got the delegacy.
