How do I manage my region?

The person who created a region is known as its "Founder," and can access a page called "Regional Control." This allows him or her to set the World Factbook Entry, password-protect the region (to make it invitation-only), and eject troublemakers. Regional Control is also available to UN Delegates, although the Founder can disable this.


If the UN Delegate has access to the Regional Control, can he boot the founder???

I lodged a complaint on the "Getting Help" page. I am sure there are rules about how many people can be booted from a region at one time (i.e. a lot less than 83!).

There's this at the FAQ:

No. Region crashing by itself is a legitimate tactic to seize power, but ejecting large numbers of nations is griefing. It can be a fine line between region crashing and griefing. Players who enjoy launching invasions should take care to stay on the right side.


Not sure what the rules are on griefing, though.

If "ejecting large numbers of nations is griefing" then ejecting ALL nations is clearly against the rules.

Put an end to popups!

quote:
Can I steal another player's nation?
No. This is fraudulent behavior and breaches the site's terms & conditions. The same applies to any attempt to impersonate another player, including attempting to hack nation or region passwords.

Can I invade other people's regions?
Yes. The practice of "region crashing," where a group of nations all move to a region with the aim of seizing the UN Delegate position, is part of the game. Certain groups within NationStates are particularly adroit at this, and can attack very quickly.

Once I've taken over a region, can I eject everyone else?
No. Region crashing by itself is a legitimate tactic to seize power, but ejecting large numbers of nations is griefing. It can be a fine line between region crashing and griefing. Players who enjoy launching invasions should take care to stay on the right side.


I think everyone should complain to a Mod via the "Getting Help" page

Being the Founder of another region, I can say that the Founder has no ability to deny a Delegate their post, short of ejecting them from the region.

Just a chronology of events for those of you who tuned in late:

1. Sometime yesterday Ceroo (or whoever was controlling Ceroo's account) kicks everyone out of the Apolyton Region, password protects it, then leaves.

2. Before leaving, the factbook was changed to something like ADN PWNS ALL!!1.

3. Nations from other Regions in the Rejected Realms mention similar problems with the ADN.

4. As Apolyton remained locked and empty, Tassadaria creates the New Apolyton region for refugees to gather.

5. Kifatica (whose identity is yet unknown) somehow manages to "re-found" the Apolyton Region.

We now have members in both regions. This is good.

We still don't know if Kifatica is part of the group of losers that attacked us, or is some friendly mod or passerby who is just trying to help us.

I suggest that everyone either rejoin Apolyton or join New Apolyton. Everyone should also lodge a complaint through the link in the FAQ.

Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this soon.

Kifatica has a 5 million pop. Someone founded it yesterday. Logically it was founded by the same person who password protected the region.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I've e-mailed & PM'd Ceroomaster - He hasn't been at Apolyton since 18-06-2004.

I suspect whoever password protected the region is also responsable for expelling us. I'd be very suprised if it was Ceroomaster.

None the less if the worst they can do is send us to Rejected Relms, I will keep my states is Apolyton.

I've also sent the following to the Nation States Moderater -

quote:
I'm sure you have already hear this, but the Apolyton region has had all 80+ of its members expelled. We suspect thar our former UN delegate (Ceroo)had his nation hijacked, however he hasn't been playing for a couple of weeks so we don't know.

What we would like to know from the admin is who is playing the new founding nation of the Apolyton region and how to contact them. Since the new founding nation seems to have been created yesterday at about the same time the rest of us were ejected, we feel s/he owes us an explanation (and possibly should be expelled from Nation States).

Please post your answers in the Apolyton Region message Board, the New Apolyton Region Message Board and if possible e-mail me at jimble@ecn.ab.ca

Thank you,

Jim C Bell

Ceroo expelled us and Ceroo password protected the region. What remains to be seen is if Ceroomaster was still in control of Ceroo, or if someone else had access to his account.

I admit that it doesn't seem likely that his account was hacked, Ceroomaster hasn't been online in a while (he basically disappeared) and this BS is also totally unlike him.

Without adequate information, I for one am reserving judgement. That said, I hope to hear from Ceroomaster and Kifatica pretty damn soon.
