Is it legal to apply multiple nations for un but only activate the email on 1 at a time?
I am wondering this as i think it could greatly improve invading as the invaders puppets will be able to be switched almost instantly as within around a minute you could resign 1 nation from the UN and activate the others.
Please tell me if this is illegal so i will not do it.
Thanks

as far as i know, this is legal, although i would keep some time between resigning one nation and admitting another so you won't get caught on accident..

i know it is legal to have more than one application though, just remember to use different email addresses or it won't work.

ah i wondered why i got a tg saying i hadnt been accepted.

The other yes, the otherS no i think.

As long as there's only 1 single nation in the UN at any given time, it's ok I reckon. Though it might be wise to ask a moderator, because the invasion rules are being rewritten at the moment.

Thanks for the help but thats why i posted it in the mod forum ;)

The rules being rewritten have nothing to do with a current ruling on a matter, that's why the current rules are the ones that are used and not some random rule pulled out of the hat of the current "revision."

It's allowed as far as I'm aware, but pretty unreliable as confirmation e-mails stop being valid after a few days. At least that was how things were las time this came up. The move to Jolt may have changed things.

I believe current UN applications work for five days.

Once you receive it via e-mail, the link only works for five days, after that it expires.

Unless you give it a good twenty-four hours or so between resigning with one nation and joining with another, you're liable to be picked up as a multi.

i hate to ask but do you have a link TH?

No, I don't. It's not something that was "ruled" on. It's a technical aspect of the UN e-mail you receive with the verification link. Request to join the UN with a puppet, wait five days from when you receive it and click on it; it'll be disabled, and you will have to request another UN application to join. I, myself, didn't know the link expired until after I couldn't switch between UN puppets a few months ago. I clicked the link, about six days later, and it was expired.

I tried doing a search on the Jolt forums, but I've yet to find anything that alludes to this fact.

iirc, there is a certain number of applications the UN "memory" can hold. so it depends on how many applications are requested.

also, tsar, i know that was a ruling in the past, but was there not a more recent ruling stating you could play safe with less than 24 hours?

i'll try to find links on both when i have the time.
