Schattenmann Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Pretty sure we just automate everything so that no one on our end has to do much work. I can't vouch for how easy it is on the other side, though. Tie with RIA for best process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaghul Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Embassies serve a useful purpose of increasing member to membership interaction, and occasionally serve as a good place for active dialog about issues that members can see. Enough to justify their existence, anyway. I definitely agree that in many places, the process is unnecessarily tedious. And I seriously doubt that anyone looks at most of the information on there, especially information like home alliance forum, team color and channel, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogal Dorn Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Your alliance has a tech-savvy guy or two. They set up your forum so that when people register, they put in their nation link, and/or AA, and/or resources, etc. Then, all that handy info gets posted under their avatar. That is really awesome. Now you're setting up your diplomat masking process. And you ask everyone who just spent 20 minutes typing in their AA, resources, logging in to get their nation number, entering their resources, etc. to post a reply/new thread and type in . . . . . . their AA, nation name, nation link--all the info that will appear, hyperlinked, under their avatar the second they push "post." These poor bureaucrats whose spammy efforts mean little-to-nothing to begin with as their respective leaders chat directly via IRC will repeat this process 10 times as they go from ally to ally. Ask yourself why. Don't answer yourself; the question is the answer.Then go change your diplo application to the effect of removing any field that the person already has displayed under their avatar, because that's why you modified the forum in the first place. Thank you.No, thank you.You're welcome. I notice this thread was made around the same time as you coming over to our forums with the other 90 polaris diplomats so I feel as I should reply to it. to be honest, i don't care if it takes your 20 minutes typing all of it in, fill out the application, quit bitching and you're welcome for the inconvenience.

More importantly, why are you posting here, when I've clearly called you out here?

Actually, this issue/oversight is present at nearly every forum I go to (including New Polar Order) regardless of what time it is. That's why the topic is here, where everyone can see it, and doesn't refer to any specific alliance.

But I feel its important people know I'm lazy. Similarly, doesn't hurt to see who is lazy that comes around when I stay at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white majik Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I stopped posting it for the most part years ago. I'll say my AA/position. Or just tell them to mask me if it's an AA I'm already close with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
