More issues?

Hi Nationstates moderation team!

I have an idea for improvment - more issues.
I don't want to be rude now, but only two issues/day is a bit little, and the game soons become kinda ''cubic''.

So I had an idea that maybe in the scroll-list with options for how many improvments you want, can't it be like e.g. "15 issues/day" and maybe even one issue for every hour - 24 issues/day?

That would make the game more fun, and really exciting to sit there and wait for the next issue.

Wahat do you all say about this?

There are about 210 issues.

Your nation is a day old. While your nation is in its infancy, you are limited to only the first 30 issues. You'll be sick of them by the time you're big enough to get the other 180. And if you stick with the game for 12-18 months, you'll probably start to get a little annoyed with those as well.

So I think 2 issues a day as a maximum is probably perfect.

But if I get annoyed by the issues, I can always just dismiss them, right?

Yes...but you still have to wait for the next update to get another issue.

Hmm, didn't think of that. How often is the game updated? Because then, maybe two issues / update seems good?

Updates occur twice daily. I haven't pinpointed the exact time but it does happen.

That, and if you get sick of the Issues, there is always Rollplaying in the International Incidents and NationStates section of the forums (look up top of the main forums page your sent to). Thats where me and I V hang out.

Or leave the silly forum people behind and join the grand world of gameplay where you can control whole regions be becoming delegate. Or become an invader or defender to influence delegacies.

There really is a lot to do around here. When I first created my nation, I felt the same way you did. But I soon found myself with more than I could handle. So give it time. More activity will come, trust me.

You can also participate in international politics by joining in the debates in the UN Forum.

is it possible in any way to propose an extra option to a thread, a less extreme option. I know it's not directly possible, but telling someone/ somewhere your suggestion and they can then decide wether to add the option, a simular option or disregard it

You mean add an option to an issue? No. That's not possible.

I've been around since '03 and I'm actually with Grozni on this one. It'd be nice to have a 5-a-day option.

EDIT:
Maybe two or three issues per update?

I think game updates occur between 500-600 and 1700-1800 GMT. (I subscribe to two issues a day, and one comes in the afternoon the other one in the wee hours of the morning...)

I'm a lot younger than you (Feb 06), and I've been bored with repeating issues for some time, at least until the latest batch got approved. IMHO, there just aren't enough of them to keep me interested, even at only 1 a day. If I got 5 a day, I'd probably get bored 5X sooner. Luckily, as others have already said, there's a lot of other stuff in the game to keep it interesting.

Like Hack said, that's not possible.;)
