  TRA Roleplay Entry & "Ghost Nations"
Posted by: Spode - 12-24-2022, 06:53 PM - Forum: Roleplay Information - Replies (3)

There are Ghost Nations Among Us 
There's been a trend as more people look to join the TRA roleplay, and not a good one. More RPers as of late seem to remain trapped in a purgatory where they haven't completed the necessary wiki to be added to the official map, and wind up quitting or going inactive instead. Since these are newcomers and may not be familiar with wiki conventions like page categorization, and often wind up departing, we wind up with "Ghost Nations".
 
Ghost nations are nations that do not appear on the map, have pages that are difficult to find, and are often abandoned/unmaintained.

To me, this poses a few problems, but the primary one is that it's time consuming to clean up when someone leaves: Recently there was an RPer who joined TRA and switched nations multiple times, they never cleaned up the pages that they had discarded in switching nations, and one of these nations was integrated into a bunch of the statistics pages and the 2022 Winter Olympics pages. All of these multination pages required manual edits to clean up. Some of that is inevitable, but one of the more time consuming aspects of cleaning up these nations is not knowing if the RPer is still in the process of joining the RP, or has given up on the nation.*



I also think that having uncategorized pages might contribute to the onboarding issue- An important part of our wiki is that, when we find grammar, spelling, and Manual Of Style (MOS) mistakes, we can either correct them (when doing so does not change the spirit/point of the article), or bring it up on Discord to help getting the pages to convey what the authors want to other RP members.

*On a more historical note, it can be incredibly difficult to clean up the aftermath of an RPer leaving. There are still numerous people who left the region almost two years ago who have RP content we have struggled to remove.



What's a Solution Here?
Maybe the pages of new RPers should have its own category for faster reference, as well as to keep everything more organized. This category would be for nations that have not been added yet to the TRA map, and would be subsequently be removed on the fufilling of the wiki requirements.

For the statistics pages, it would be nice if we could simply scrape that information off of nation pages to automate updates there, which could make pruning inactivity RPers easier. I already have something of a solution for that involving the MediaWiki web API, but it's very much a work in progress at the moment, and even when completed would not be able to handle doing map updates for those pages. 


But those are just my rambly thoughts, do you all agree, disagree, have other solutions/ideas?

  Promotion of Colonel Raziel

✯ RAZIEL PROMOTED TO COLONEL ✯

Colonel Ensign | Colonel Insignia

@Raz (The Castle of Dark Illusions), better known to most of the NationStates community as One Small Island, has been promoted to Colonel of the LDF effective immediately. Having joined the LDF in March 2022, Raziel has proven to be an effective and capable updater. One of the first members of the LDF to complete Lieutenant training following the introduction of that rank, they have over time stepped up as a strong defender leader in critical operations with triggering, outreach, and coordination, earning their way to Libcord's Junior Command.

Their leadership was pivotal to the LDF turnout and overall defender victory in New Westphalia, notably at the minor update siege when they filled a strong role for outreach to Leaguers and Concordians. Having been an officer in our military for more than 6 months with tactful leadership and skillful updating, they've well earned the title of Colonel.

As it becomes clearer that The League's Defense Forces has reached a level of experience and strength be a defender power, it is necessary to recognize and staff our officer corps properly to encourage the continuation of growth. We have several reforms and initiatives being discussed behind the scenes that we look forward to the development of, and Raziel's heightened experience and rank will undoubedly aid those efforts.

  Opening Speech of Jack Empire
Posted by: JackEmpire - 11-14-2022, 08:39 PM - Forum: Council of the Republic - Replies (1)

Hello citizens of The League and Concord,
You're probably wondering how, I, of all people am speaker, but here we are; I have been officially chosen as the Speaker of the 22nd Council of the Republic.
The League, over the past few months, has been expanding its allies greatly through new treaties, and the opening of embassies. My goal as speaker, is to above all, maintain and grow our allies and expand our influence across the website. We, as a community, should make an effort to ally with any region who are not a group of raiders. I wish to continue the momentum of creating new allies into this cycle. With an even larger council than last cycle, which already had a record amount of delegates, I will be committed to organizing and recognizing the ideas of each of the delegates. I will also help newer members draft legislation to further improve the flow of ideas around the region. It is important that everybody has input, and everybody voices their opinion. I am grateful for this position, thank you all, and good luck to our new delegates!

Opening of the 22nd Council of the Republic
Office of the Consulate

Citizens of The League and Concord,

The Office of the Consulate welcomes you as a member of the Council of the Republic, the regional legislature and advisory body. The Council will officially enter its 22nd session with the conclusion of the November electoral confirmations. This cycle, a total of 27 members (a historic record) were nominated to join the council: 24 will serve 2 month terms and 3 will serve 1 month terms. Of the 24 Council Delegates, 16 are returning members and 8 are new members.

The Consulate is glad to see that the previous session of the Council, the first to hold votes and discussions on the forum, performed well, and we hope that the 22nd Council will continue to hold discourse and pass legislations quickly and efficiently.

The Consulate has decided to appoint @JackEmpire as this session's Speaker of the Council. A relatively new member, he has shown great interest in Council affairs and getting legislation drafted and passed throughout his time on the Council. Additionally, he has also been a helpful and constructive region member in other aspects including roleplay and recruitment.

Once the Council nominations conclude, JackEmpire will be giving a statement regarding his thoughts and goals for the upcoming session of the Council. We again welcome you all to the 22nd Council, and we look forward to your contributions to the region and the ideas you will put forth!
