NationStates Jolt Archive

Title says it all really, should founders be removed and the game go back how it used to be.

It would make the gameplay better and more interesting for everyone.

Here are the benefits I see:


An actually meaning to alliances that can be used for something
More democracy in democratic regions
The possiblity of tyrants having power but being removed in revolutions
Wars that can be fought leading to tactics and stronger alliance leading to
Greater diplomacy on a regional international scale
The actual rise and fall of empires either through invasions or coming together of regions

The only disadvantages are:


More targets for invaders

In reply to that I would say, the defenders are much better and that area of the game making all regions actual threats would only increase activity among players.

Now grieving used to be a problem but we have mods to deal with that now so if it occurs the culprits can be banned.

Be great to hear what other players thought.

I don't see the logic in your post. If there arn't any Founders, there can't be any player controlled regions. A region must have someone to FOUND the region, so it must have a FOUNDER. Could you please elaborate on how one could have a region without a founder, due to the fact that i am slightly puzzled by your stance?

Yes and I apologise if my post came across as confusing. I made a bad assumption.

When Nation States first started there were no founders, only delegate who had full regional control.

New regions could still be created though, they were created as they are now, only the person who created it would then have no power unless they were endorsed to be delegate.

So the game was founderless and I believe it should go back to being like that for the reasons I stated above.

the game was more dynamic before founders came into being

Founders should stay, as not all regions should be ruled by the UN!

But surely you can see that not having founders would improve game play?

But not everybody plays the region crashing game.

Not really. It would force democracy an UN rule on all regions. Not everyone wants that.

well, what would happen to regions like Gatesville that are anti-un??

Gatesville's 'anti-UN' stance includes encouraging people to join the UN.

...don't ask me. But not everyone plays gameplay, and anyway, I just don't see any really really good reasons for making the change.
