Link to the new news thing (You've probably already seen it): http://www.nationstates.net/page=news/2013/02/01/index.html

Link to the relevant forum topic: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=222926

At first I was like, "Oh noez! they're making us pay to recruit!", but then I saw this post: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=12798887#p12798887

If they're being made legal again, we need one! So... yeah. I'll look around, but if any of you know anybody who has one,please let me know. Thanks!

Basically, this means we will never again need to recruit, because it will be done automatically. So, yeah! :P

I'll talk with Drifts, since he said he was a script guy. Then I'll scour the forums for something. And if all else fails, I'll suck up to some guys at XKI (Or equivalent region) and try to get them to loan us theirs, since we all know they'll have one.

I think this will just make recruiting harder for us, with every major region recruiting all the time we'll get fewer and fewer new nations, even if we do have a script.

Well, that's what I said in the thread, but I doubt I can do anything to stop it. Anyways, it's better than having to pay for the new telegram stamps. :-/

It's only a dollar for 1000 stamps though, at least the price is reasonable.

Well, sure, if you want to buy them for us... ;)

Besides, 1000 stamps will only last us about two days days from what I know. Most likely less. :P

Nations are founded at one every three minutes on average. That would be about 20 per hour, and 20 times 24 is... 480. And since I was being a bit conservative on the estimate of once every three minutes, less than two days.

So that would come up to about $4 a week. $16 a month... $192 a year... :P

Even with this new system, I'm sure our numbers will continue to rise with Andro recruiting.

The thing that upsets me is allowing recruiting from user-created regions. I really think that shouldn't be allowed until you've grown to at least 100 nations or something. :(

On a side note. I have looked at the calls API and tested it out. As the API is currently not operational it is hard to test it, but from what I can tell I have a fully functioning standalone application that can recruit at a click of a button for us to use. It will still require the end user to press a button to recruit each nation, so it does not break the script rules, I have limited it at present to send 1 recruitment TG per 21000 milliseconds. Which is 21 seconds, so we're not going to be breaching the spam rules either. I will post a download to the application once the API is functioning.
