French Concerns

Hey I have looked into France for the last day or so and well I believe it is a Griefing going on, the Delegate is letting Naziesque nations in, to taunt and torment the natives, and he is onlly giving out the password to a few nations saying it is their job to distribute the password, I also get the feeling he is going to try to boot and refound it soon, Lastly, he is not Supported by UN locals, all fo his supporters are invaders. As he booted all the regional UN embers out when He took power.
Sorry if this is inappropriate, but well I spent time in France and Ranctness the old delegate was a prety good guy.

Also sems funny for a bunch of German and Polish themed nations to be in France.

Some natives have been kicked, and unbanned, as the rules make it clear.

The non-natives that came to my region have all been ejected and banned. They will remain on the list forever. The Front National has a zero immigration policy for his political ennemies.

This is the list of all France's natives, excluding my puppets and my friend's nations and puppets.

As I understand it, I may kick these nations but they must be unbanned. Any other nation can remain on the ban list.

he 1 january i had 19 endorsement, i come back the 2, this guy was delegate whis only 3 endorsement and NO NATIVE NATION IN IT

I gained delegacy because the region had no delegate the first of january.

this list has been take after his take over.

This list has been taken at the moment I became delegate, yes.

also this evening, he kick me and some of my endorser ( who are native) for don't lose the leadership.

As long as you are unbanned everything is OK.

because if you ask to all native nation ( his list work also) i was the real delegate.

Rantchess, making claims of multying against another player is a serious charge.

We've already looked into this, and so far, nothing has been done illegaly.


Just because you dont like how the game is being played does not mean the Moderators are going to step in.

Look it differently Rantchess: why didn't you file a report with the Getting help page when you were suspicious of cheating? I do not know if cheating occured. I do not know if you had 19 endorsements.

All I know is that I entered the region legally with some friends, I never spammed the regional happennings, I did not multi. It's not my type of actions. Neutred Sputniks and other moderators know about me and my past, which makes such accusations plain grotesque.

And please, do not speak about democracy when you were practicing demoliberal totalitarism with nations in your region sharing capitalist and/or national values, simply ejecting them. By my patriotism towards France I will not let this happen again. I am the one and only leader, and I care about my citizens, but priority in administration belongs to me.

And all is legal. What makes me really suspicious of you telling the truth is that you are telling that I cheated, when the action was done almost one week ago... :roll:

Please consider this :

1. "Ta mère" in french is an insult. It is the shortening of "nik ta mère", which basically mean "mother fucker".

2. the FN nation and his flag are nazi sympathisers in real life, denying the holocaust and who have commited some nasty things like the killing of immigrants. This party was on the second round of the last french election, which triggered mass protestation and it is not wise turning it into a joke since it could have serious consequences.

3. The tactic used is exploiting a flaw of this game : the update of the deleguate position is taking place everyday at 9:00 GMT, whereas the ejection of a member is immediate. All he has to do is eject all members who have more endorsments than him at 8:59 GMT everyday. They come back and still have more endorsments but are not deleguate because they missed the update. Many nations in France have more endorsments than the FN but they will never be deleguate due to a game flaw. He will remain deleguate forever with 3 or so endorsments whereas others may never be deleguate with something like 20 endorsments.

4. It looks like there has been a bug around the first of january for that to happen in the first place but I'm not sure about that.

What I ask is that the rules are updated so that this can not happen because this flaw basically makes the UN deleguate position irrelevant and this position was never intended to work like that or there would simply be an option for the UN deleguate to tell that he just remain deleguate forever and cancel the update.
And in the short term I think the right deleguate should be forced because there is no other option to reverse the effect of this bug.

Do the mods agree with me that this a bug in the game?

I'm not a mod, but like to chip in here anyway:

- Front National has already been removed from power, by players taking over the region. Seems FN wasn't paying as good attention as he (or you) thought.

- Given enough time and effort, no errors made, and a high enough number of endorsements, a region can be held against invasions. Doing so is a lot easier for natives than non-natives. This helps natives to hold on to their region in the first place, but also helps invaders once they have the delegacy. While Front National wasn't making life easy for the natives, I've seen invaders who made things much more difficult for natives (and some of them STILL lost against a well-organized defensive operation). At some point taking back a region (or invading one to begin with) requires a prohibitive amount of effort or number of participants. The France situation wasn't even close to being that difficult.

- In the course of the events in France, I've seen invaders, natives, and defenders all make errors. Each side could've made life a lot more difficult for the opposing team had they been better organized or more fervent in their operations. In some way each side tries to get things done with the least amount of effort, and FN discovered that the effort the other side was willing to make trumped his own ;)

- The 'flaw' you point at in some way does exist, but doesn't really occur until much later in strategic developments. It happens in the case of locked down User Created Regions (generally native defenses making invasions totally impossible for as long as a Founder lives) or Feeder regions where the endorsement numbers become truly huge.

Actually I thought an invasion involved a larger number of nations than the natives and that it was an issue of support : if the invading nations are in greater number they will hold the deleguate status until the natives gather a greater support. But apparently I was mistaken.

I think it is way too easy then for the invaders and way too complicated for natives. What can the natives do exactly to free their region? I mean in France it ended due to the Front National virtually giving up the region because he didn't logon on friday, but if he didn't give up, I don't really understand what the natives were supposed to do. They could have all the support on earth that invader would be able to stay anyway.

Something important to realize: the means for natives to defend their region in the first place are what an invader can do to hold on to the region PLUS that they can passlock their region without letting all natives know PLUS that they can ban (not merely eject) all invaders. Natives have the upperhand to begin with. It's true that it's possible for them to end up in a bad situation when they lose control of their region. Anything you do to make it easier to counter-invade a region to liberate it will reduce the power natives have to defend their region to begin with.

Invasion is a part of the game. Those who don't want to be invaded can go to a region with a Founder and lock the delegate out of region control. That settles the issue entirely. If you're in a region without a Founder, being invaded is a risk that needs to be addressed. Think of a password system (periodically or rotating, whatever), or maybe electing a delegate who is actively present to help guard the region. Intelligence work also helps, as it may warn of an upcoming invasion.

Well, that and that they then went on to invade mars, themed as nothing except morons the first time.

Assuming that they *were* French however, how is if fair to claim that it was sponsered by the region France?
