Regional Influence isn't just a nice ranking: it's at the heart of a change to how UN Delegates get to wield power. It's quite a comprehensive change, so a special page has been created with all the detail. Read More!

Enjoy.

I like the idea and it helps a lot but I sort of expected more, but this is fine.

HotRodia · 12-04-2006, 02:25

An interesting way to approach it. I look forward to seeing how this changes things.

Kyronea · 12-04-2006, 02:26

Oh so that's what it is. Nice stuff. I approve.

It will be interesting to see how this works out.

I imagine it'll take a lot of empirical evidence before we see the full implications of this.

OMGs

Theze changes are the shizzle! U'z Da B0m8!

In all seriousness. Great job. Interesting read about the "National Influance" thing. And i like the new way that was set up for the whole issue of Invasion vs. Griefing. It is very, well, ingenious. My hat goes off to the one (or many) who designed the new system for the enjoyment of the NationStates Community.

So it looks like in each nation they have power (ranks) I think it is handshaker>negotiator>instigator>superpower tell me if I missed any.

There are lower ranks as well. Vassal and minnow, for example.

HotRodia is a minnow, which I must admit I find terribly amusing.

12-04-2006, 02:35

ok
minnow > vassal > handshaker > negotiator > instigator > powerbroker > superpower

how's that?

P.S. I wish there was a way to see everyones ranking so you don't have to goto each page, hopefully they will put it in NSEconomy

Wait, mine is Eminence Grise. What the heck is that?

12-04-2006, 02:38

We need to figure out these levels, or easier find a list somewhere.

imported_Blackbird · 12-04-2006, 02:40

Ambassador should in there somewhere.

12-04-2006, 02:41

I think these levels should do more then help against region griefing.
