You should endorse myself and the Guardians because you haven't done so and are presently above the non-endorsing cap :P

Giovanniland wrote:It does matter, since more people endorsing each other means our region gets stronger. So you are encouraged to endorse as many people you can, though being mindful of the endorsement cap of 250 people - you could reach top 1% of endorsements and influence which, among other things, can give you a better card rarity and increase our regional power.

Endorsements baffle me. I regularly go on endo sprees, but always hover between 90 and 99 endorsements in return. I assume they move to other regions (or get trebucheted) and dream of achieving three figures of endorsements one day...

I don't know how to endorse still...it's very confusing :(

Very easy! Just click right here: Dilber

Scroll to the very bottom and smash the Endorse button!
Then repeat for all the Guardians and Bam! Your set to collect an additional 250 endorsements!

As for cards, that's simple too, just answer issues and you will start getting card packs :)

The first 50 endorsements come easy. Then it slows. The higher your endorsements, generally the slower they'll grow.

I use the Residency stats to endorse nations. Oldest nations start on page one, lastest arrivals on the last page. Once I had the older nations endorsed, I don't have to check back on those pages very often. Then I just occasionally go through the last 100 pages of new nations to endorse the newest WA members. I tend to feel it encourages a new nation to engage with the game and community, when we welcome them with endorsements.

Of course, one can use the The Masses dispatch too. Although I don't think the name of the Dispatch is presented in a way that makes it obvious what it's for. "The Masses", what does that mean? How would anyone know that it's a list of WA nations to endorse?

Sending a telegram to the nation you're endorsing increases the chances they will return your endorsement. "Hello! I've endorsed your nation, may I ask for your endorsement in return?"
(Former Delegate Tip: Short telegrams get better response rates. Keep it simple.)

However, I don't recommend using telegrams for endorsements unless you are in an official position: Delegate/Guardian/RO. Someone that telegrams for endorsements is often someone aiming for the Delegacy. It's something that regional security/intel operations look out for when watching for threats. You don't worry too much about someone mass endorsing everyone. They are obvious and easy to remove if needed if they don't respond to telegrams to stay under the endo cap.

But when the time comes that you are appointed as a Guardian, use those simple telegrams to help boost your endo count.

What a long, strange trip it's been.

I remember you, and Davelands, told me that you wanted to have an NS experience like we once had. I think you've done well. It's been nice to sit back and watch 'new' players write their NS career. ('New' - ha!)

Bhang Bhang Duc wrote:Sad to hear about Equilism’s forums Westwind, all that history lost.

Sadly, I can't refresh my memory by easily looking up the history anymore. *chuckles*

Well, I suppose I could, but it's bother. Open the database in an Excel spreadsheet, and it's all there....but good luck finding what you're looking for. User names and catagories and post contents are not linked in the spreadsheet as they are different table fields. I also have the phpbbs database from Equilism's original forum from 2004, which I occasionally open in Excel and see what might be interesting to share. I've pulled some early TWP history from that one before. And all my logs are separate from the forums, so I still have all those at hand.

Cards are a minigame within NationStates that you can play if you want - it doesn't affect the rest of your nation except for the International Artwork badge. You may receive packs of cards when answering issues, open them and decide what to do with the cards. We have a cards guide right here for new traders :)

Though please don't write in all caps, since that is regarded as shouting and frowned upon here. A look at the message board etiquette is recommended.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I'll investigate some more lists.

Hey do you guys know how to increase budget in insurance?

Dunkan wrote:Hey do you guys know how to increase budget in insurance?

Two ways:

1. Patience: it takes time answering enough issues to get where you want with your stats.
2. You can check the stat outcomes of issues here - http://www.mwq.dds.nl/ns/results/

I have huge trout fishing

Westwind and Mississippi river

Nice! Keep working on your nation stats and soon you will have even greater ones if you make the right choices.

Good night TWP!

And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.
Souls will be complicated, life will be consummated then.
Hearts will be brought together soon in our minds forever then.
As long as we see there's only us, who can change it;
Only us to rearrange it at the start of a new kind of day.
And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.
Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer then.
Thoughts will be thought together, soon in our minds forever then.

Someone just reminded me that "John McAfee didn't start his career as a drug fueled international fugitive until he was in his 60s."

I've been wondering what to do with my 60's.

"Dead Man's Party" - Oingo Boingo

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive
Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

I was struck by lightning
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep

It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin'; leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door...

Don't run away; it's only me (only me)

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man (dead man)
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
Walkin' with a dead man...Dead man...

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffer comin' to my door
Says there's room for maybe just one more...

I was struck by lightning
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep

It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin'; leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door...

Don't run away; it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away; it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see

Queen - Flick of the Wrist

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mrApaXj5QmA

Dislocate your spine if you don't sign he says
I'll have you seeing double
Mesmerize you when he's tongue-tied
Simply with those eyes
Synchronize your minds and see
The beast within him rise

Don't look back
Don't look back
It's a rip-off
Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist - he'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby you've been had.

Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying
If not you'll lie in knee-deep trouble
Prostitute yourself he says
Castrate your human pride
Sacrifice your leisure days
Let me squeeze you till you've dried

Don't look back
Don't look back
It's a rip-off

Work my fingers to my bones
I scream with pain
I still make no impression
Seduce you with his money-make machine
Cross-collateralize, (big-time money, money)
Reduce you to a muzak-fake machine
Then the last goodbye
It's a rip-off

Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby
Blow him a kiss and you're mad
Flick of the wrist - he'll eat your heart out
A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head
He's taken an arm, and taken a leg
All this time honey
Baby you've been had

Long ago
Just like the hearse, you die to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well, I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Well if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend
To leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide

What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight

Well if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long not goodnight
