Petition for moderation in region of India

This is for the moderators of the game. We need moderation in the region of India.
Our Founder, Kathiawar, took away Delegate powers to Region Control in December 2004, by saying that it was a temporary measure for a few weeks. We have had many Delegate changes since, but our Founder has not given up Region Control to the Delegate.
That is not the problem. He is extremely inactive. He is on vacation mode, logs in on the 59th day for 2 minutes, and that is it. That is all for his activity. Currently, he is on a 19-day inactivity streak. The region is a ripe target for invaders and spammers, and we have several changes to make to the Factbook Entry, none of which is possible because the Founder has hogged up all regional power, and is inactive.

I had made a request for this back in February, under my ex-nation of Shonar Bangla. Then, the moderators said that we must wait for the Founder to die, and then, Delegate automatically gets the power.
Ever since, Kathiawar HAS died, when power did go temporarily to the Delegate, but he immediately resurrected, and again hogged up the power and went inactive.

Now, all I request is that you guys go in yourselves and give power to the Delegate. I will get as many other possible nation-states in the region of India to sign this petition.

Thank you,
Saffron Tigers

No can-do. It's the founder's region, and if s/he doesn't want the delegate in control then that's the way things have to be.

doubt it'll happen, seeing as how the founder kinda "owns" the region..

telegram your founder, asking him give one of you access to his nation, or to be a bit more active? reading what you wrote, i think this is a puppet of a regionhawker..

Perhaps, but he is never active, how will he read our telegram?

The region of India is representative to nation-states owned by individuals of the entire South Asian sub-continent. We congregate here, and do not accept this highly undemocratic state of affairs in our own region.

Best bet is to find all dissenters with this regime and start up your own region.

The region belongs to the founder. Founder has free reign to do whatever he wants with it.

Can he/she stop people leaving?

I second the request by Saffron Tigers.

FYI, I am the current delegate. Our founder is on inactive mode and does not respond to telegrams.

Yes, but Kathiawar has already taken the name of India. This means that all future South Asians that come to the game, will automatically join Kathiawar's region.

Anyway, what is this? The guy promised in December 2004 that it would be a temporary measure, and he has back-tracked on that. Sounds to me like Musharraf.

we would have moved to another region, but we would not like to give up the name "India" which means a lot to us Indians/south asians.

I think they need to make a special consideration for the patriotism/nationalism/identity issue at stake here, and over-ride the checks on moderator power, and follow our request.

noble men: no, he can't


as to the rest: you'll have to chose: have regional controls, or the name...like in real life, you can't get everything you want..

nice analogy with mushy, indeed, this is a game of politics, which includes lies, deceit, etc.

Sorry, but rules are rules and that's our final word on the matter.

India may be taken, but why not another name? Say, True India or something similar. Can I be so bold as to suggest that you start up this new nation, and leave a puppet nation to spread your message; about how the founder has left your region to rot, and how everyone should leave et cetera. Don't listen if Kathiawar says that power will be given to the delegate, as he backtracked on previous promises.

As far as I can see it, this is the best solution. The delegates seem reluctant to act, and he wont respond to telegrams, so as far as I can see there is nothing left.

Good luck in whatever you do.

Founder's region. Founder's rules. It's really none of our business.

As Sirocco and Myrth have said, this request is denied.
