I am not particularily experienced with the NS Jolt forums, so I apologize if this is the wrong place.
I TG'd the following message to Testlandia, the mod-established founder of Lazarus. I am posting it here for all to hear our plea.
Dear Testlandia,
I don't know who controls this nation. The rumor is that it is a mod known as [violet], possible even Max Barry himself.
Anyways, I'm sending you this Telegram, hoping that you'll hear my plea.
My name is Paul, my main nation is Baribeau, the former UN Delegate (I think I has the job for 80+ days before RL caught up with me) of the wonderful region of Lazarus. I am also a participant in affairs in The North Pacific, Canada and The Swamp. I serve as ambassador from all of these regions to The West Pacific.
Through my NS gameplay, I have come to notice that Lazarus' community is being neglected. We have a dedicated group of members, who work hard to keep UN nations in the region, and encourage UN membership for all of our members. Our off-site forums have over 1000 posts, and we have ever-improving participation in both our "in game" and "out-of-character" sections. The region is, however, without the ability to perform simple tasks such as changing the World Factbook Entry, or banning people who cause trouble on the regional HQ. Our every action requires game mod assistance, which, (and trust me, they do a good job), isn't always available 24/7. In my time as UN Delegate, I saw more than one racist, homophobic, or just plain vulgar comment posted for the world to see, with no one going punished.
Anyways, before I take up your whole day, I want to stress once again the amount of dedication and life that is in Lazarus. The region is, however, being prevented from expanding. Most nations show little interest in regions where they are unable to do perform simple tasks as changing their WFE, or defending their delegacy.
So, what I ask of you, is to consider giving this region a little more freedom. I have the following proposal, which I don't think would require too much programming, and would allow for improved gameplay for hundreds of players:
-Establish a system that would allow the UN Delegate to change the WFE, and consider allowing the delegate to ban nations. (This system would be very similar to the one in The Rejected Realms)
-Keep Testlandia as regional founder, so that, if it is determined that the delegate's actions were inappropriate, actions could easily be taken to reverse what was done, and suitably punish the offending Delegate.
Should the above mentioned actions be taken, I don't think the people of Lazarus would have any problems with allowing regional advertising on the HQ, as can be found in The Pacifics and The RR (it is currently a deleteable offense in Lazarus).
Thank you kindly for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Baribeau,
Former Lazarus UN Delegate
