Activating puppet account

Hi there,

I have a puppet nation, Aguazul, for which I didn't enter an e-mail address at signup. I'd now like it to be able to post on the forums, so I entered an e-mail address for it. However, I didn't get a verification e-mail, so I've tried some others. Nothing's been successful so far, so I'm wondering if I'm being too impatient (I had similar problems activating this account). On average, how long does it take for verification e-mails to go out? Should I be trying something else, or taking things more slowly?

Thank you very much.

I don't think you're allowed the same e-mail on 2 accounts.

I've heard of people using the same address without problems, so I don't think that's the issue. Even if it was, however, my puppet has its own address now.

Wrong, I've had the same e-mail address on 3 nations with no problems.

I've got quite a few nations on my email with no problems. And usually the verification emails are pretty fast.

This sort of question really should be reported via Getting Help. Please keep that in mind for anyone else with this issue.

With Aguazul, you've got one of the nations that can't create a Jolt forum account. This is a fairly common problem with long-dead nations that were recently revived, so I'm puzzled by why it's happening to your puppet which has never died and has been around for less than a year.

Fact is, none of our forum tools work on this nation. We've been trying (unsuccessfully) to track this down for about 6 months now, and we're no closer to a solution than we were in May. It's something in the interface between Jolt and NS, and we can't isolate it.

There's nothing we can do. Sorry.

All right, thanks for the response, and sorry for using the wrong system to report it.
