Population question

Without going into complicated details, I'm interested in having the population of one of my nations altered; needless to say I feel I have a fair reason for at least asking, but am not sure who I should go about it.

Could someone please help me with this? The last thing I want is to bother busy people with requests in the wrong place...

Thanks

The moderators do not edit population, nor do the admins, as far as I know.

They've confirmed this several times.

I don't think I understand why someone would want their population altered or for what justification. I guess I'm just curious.

There are a host of reasons, most of which are related to the rather absurd population counts that build up over time.

Also, when things happen during RP events, like a nuclear holocaust or some other mass disaster, people would rather have their numbers reflect that than deal with it via the new RP itself.

Actually it was in an attempt to prevent future confusion- some players adopt a rather legalistic view of RP, and an official change would have set it in stone.

However, if that's not an option, so be it!

One point though- last night I searched through to try and find a ruling on this sort of thing, and couldn't find one. Perhaps it might be an idea to add this in one of the stickies at the head of this forum as I'm certainly not going to be the last person asking :wink:

Thanks for the help :D
