I am the delegate of North Pacific. I do have many outside endorsements, but I have five endorse to the next persons four. Even though I am not a native, an I considered the native delegate because I could hold the region with native support? I ask because I have imposed a password for security and I do not want to feel the Wrath of Mod. Please, would a mod get back to me. Please telegram me as well as post a reply.

If the majority of your endorsements are from natives, then, you're considered a native delegate.

<--- not a mod.

Tuesday Heights is incorrect.

Having a majority of your endorsements coming from natives (that is, more natives endorsing you than invaders) is not sufficient to make you a native Delegate. To qualify as a native Delegate, you must have more native endorsements than anyone else in the region. Invader endorsements are not counted in this calculation.

Sorry for the delay, we've been a bit busy.

I read somewhere in the Moderation forum that if you had more native endorsements, the majority, then you were considered a native delegate.

I stand by my comments, but gracedully step aside, as proven wrong.

If you have 5 native endorsements, and 3 invader endorsements, but a native in the region has 6 endorsements, then you're still an invader delegate.
If you have 7 native endorsements, and 1 invader endorsement, and your nearest native rival has 6 endorsements, you're considered a native delegate.

Ah! :) It sounds to me like you accidentally chose your words poorly.

[Emphasis mine.]

This means that you have more native endorsements than invader endorsements, which would fit both of Myrth's examples, above.

To qualify as a native Delegate, you must have more native endorsements than anyone else in the region.

This should be straightforward, and only applies to Myrth's second example, above.

The two conditions have different meanings, so it's important not to confuse the two.

Ah, okay; that makes more sense. Once again, I apologize for the misinformation.
