Do we recieve an auto-telegram if our issue has been rejected?

yes we do, it tells you who rejected you from whereever

Oh, sorry. I guess I didn't make myself clear :(

I meant like... if your ISSUE doesn't pass through the mods... do you get a rejection letter?

I know that you get a telegram saying that it has been accepted and your nation - despite what type you are - will be the first one to get to choose for it.

As for getting a rejection, I don't know that...

If your issue is rejected, you will not get a telegram. There's an FAQ in the 'How to Write An Issue' thread dealing with questions like these.

hmm... ok.

Well, you folks should consider doing that, it might be nice. ;)

There are hundreds of proposals deleted all the time, a lot of them that were probably written in 2 seconds. Sounds like quite a bit of work for not that good a reason...

Issues, not proposals, silly. :p

While I too would love the certainty of a rejection letter, one reason they may not send one, is it might put daily issue authors on the defensive:

"What??!?? You rejected my proposal, but you have that silly hybrid animal - dog issues?"



Instead the mods will make announcements how far they've progressed in reviewing issues. If I'm not mistaken, everything submitted in 2003 has now been reviewed (I could be off a month or two here).

And as Unfree pointed out (though he / she may have been talking about proposals): many times players who submit issues and proposals do so what in what I affectionately call:

Fire & Forget

If you don't keep a copy of your idea off-site, it probably wasn't that important to you, and thus it might be better playing with somebody else's idea.

In the case of the UN, it is very interesting to see how many of the early UN resolution authors have left the game (their nations that is). I'm gonna guess that there are tons of issues in the queue that were submitted by newbies that aren't here anymore.

500 mil isn't that hard to reach, though anybody visiting this forum probably does have a long-term interest in the game and I personally think should submit issues.

And as Unfree pointed out (though he / she may have been talking about proposals) Eh, I meant "proposed issues". That work? :p

And it is 'she' ;)

You can see what batch of issues we're working on by looking at the 'only nations with 500 million population' thread.
