Having this discussion here rather than in the FA forum, because this could become quite important. For context, please read this first:

Just an observation, as I code up this thing: setting up a regional embassy substantially raises your visibility to their residents. It's just a single mention under the WFE, but it's really quite noticeable. Prime real estate.

If I were interested in recruiting people to my region, I would start talking pretty to feeder Delegates about now.


We're going to have to start getting very selective with embassy requests, as we're probably going to be swamped with them. There's nothing wrong with us having lots of embassies - but only so long as we receive updates from them regularly, and have enough people here willing to share the burden of posting our updates - currently we don't.

So... do we want to change how we process embassy applications, or are you OK to keep things as they are?

At the moment, I make the decision :P If I think they're going to be active, I'll approve it, and I close down inactive embassies from time to time.

Sounds like a working system. Is there really a need to formalise it beyond that? At the moment, I mean

And was that the idiots guide or the complicated version?

Embassies are going live today apparently.

(Mainly addressed to Nai) I think we should hold back on accepting any requests for embassies game-side until we've decided here how we're going to work the system.

Depending on how the system looks, we may want to limit 'in-game' embassies to only our closest friends, and we may not want to bother with the feeders.

I'll hold off on them for now and send TGs to the ones we've received explaining why.

For the record, we've gotten three requests so far, listed in the order received - [region]Eastern Islands of Dharma[/region] requested by [nation]Unibot II[/nation], [region]The North Pacific[/region] requested by [nation]Chodean Kal[/nation], and [region]Guanxi[/region] requested by [nation]UMR Milograd[/nation].

Dharma will back up the RRA when the defense of TRR is needed as always, has scotch and Unibot's ego. Clearly, one of the best choices one could make for a regional embassy ... no seriously, it would be our pleasure and of mutual benefit between both regions to establish such a regional embassy.

I'm recommending we hold off approving anything until we decide which 5 embassies we'll open first, as these first 5 are displayed on the main page of the region.

Embassy Applications thread - it's been there for 4 and a half months. If you want to request an embassy, I suggest you do so there.

I have nothing against establishing an embassy with you, but I'd like to remind you that Dharma are obliged to help TRR if we're invaded, as fellow FRA members. If you want ad-space on our region page, you're also going to have to provide us with regular updates.

And speaking of that... we've got a bit of a reason to care about where we show up on other regions' pages, too.

Would anyone mind if I accepted 10kI's request pretty soon, here?

Did you reject the ones that you haven't accepted, or just leave them? Looking through them, Wysteria is the only one I'd be particularly interested in having an embassy with - if you haven't spoken to The Bruce already, I don't mind doing so.
