The admin KD was put in place to allow players to communicate with news staff - but there are no news staff in the admin KD
What then is the purpose of this kingdom?
Why do you have zero news staff?
Why does your banner advertise another game?
Seems to me that the admin KD has been repurposed as an advertisement and serves no Utopia specific function.
One possible purpose of the kingdom is to allow admins and staff to have a province in the game to easily view on goings without affecting another kingdom or being biased by playing in one.
As for the news staff, I assume that it's due to a lack of motivated reporters and in particular motivated reporters that don't want to play in another kingdom.
Im not going to bother sifting through threads, but I pretty distinctly recall that reporters could have an account in the admin KD and in a regular kingdom. Since provinces in protection can't conduct ops, the 1:1 province can't be used unfairly, and it ensured players of the identity of whom they were discussing their war with.Originally Posted by AquaSeaFoam
So, 12 months, and the creation of a kingdom dedicated to the purpose, and we've zero reporters?
You're also not an admin and not a reporter, and as a (sub) forum moderator have no reason to posses a province in 1:1... yet you do. Why?
Can anybody just sit in 1:1 if they don't want to play?
Can we all multi there for fun?
There were other provinces in that KD last age, which I assume were reporters. There were no articles done though that I can recall.
There was exactly 1, it looks like. Towards the end of the age of course. And I doubt that reporter even had a province in the admin KD...
Anyways, evidently ASF believes that having a province in protection for 12 weeks is an effective way to grasp changes in order to fulfil his duty as Strategy moderator. Maybe this is a sign that Strategy mods should play the game so that they can offer practical advice? Probably not - I'm sure its fine. He's definitely got important changes understood from this experience, like how relations throttling and ops changes impact game play.
EDIT: For the sake of being thorough - there were infact two articles posted last age. One during YR0 by Barbara Walters who did have a province in 1:1, and one by Nim (Dumnorix) who I dont think had one.
But for 12 weeks, 130+ kingdoms, and probably several hundred wars and hostiles... seems a bit light.

So write some war articles Pillz. I think your positive and charismatic charms would translate well into a fun read!
Unsurprisingly, but without reason, nobody in decent kds trusts me when I approach them as a reporter. Or at least that's the impression I have gotten when I've tried.
Ghettos don't interest me so I haven't tried with them. But, why not give it a whirl yourself?
Edit: also why would I contribute articles to this ****hole forum with its Nazi moderation anyways. What's the point if free flowing discussion can't be had?
Yeah, I didn't have an account in 1:1 (still haven't), just felt reporting a win streak. :)
We could use more reports though.
PEW PEW PEW!
Because Im not there. I was a reporter last age, there were supposed to be several others aka panthira and I think sassy was even a reporter. None of them contributed crap. So I left. Why put effort into something when no one else gives a crap...I was barbara walters.

And your single contribution is appreciated zulu
But obviously you put more work into this whole thing than the admins.
Last age I wasn't actually in 1:1 as a reporter, I needed a new province so that I could write the tutorial walk-through accurately. That province was reset a few times to ensure the info was correct.
But I'll give it a try, we will see if kingdoms are actually interested in submitting information for official War Reports instead of just having their news spied upon. I've started a new thread and reached out to a few random kingdoms I've seen with WAR AGREED tags up.
A guide to SW's posts
Regular text = SW as a player
Bold = SW as a mod (used for mod requests, warnings, etc.)
Green = Someone messed up the regular and bold text and had to get edited/warned/banned.
Well I wish you luck in your venture this age with that! <3

The problem with reporting wars (and having it publicized in game) is that your kingdom becomes a highly visible vulture target. No one wants to contribute to active warring reports and no one wants to read about an ordinary war that's already over
As far as 1:1, I understood it as spot in game where people can contact people in official positions. The fact that there are no reporters doesn't really mean the kingdom isn't fulfilling it's purpose.

Yes that stopped the probably hundreds of Temple/AR/utimes war articles....
The fact you can now click next kd and do the whole server in like the time it takes to finish a cigarette should probably minimize that concern.
Also we tracking in munk....
You understand that having an article that's literally plastered on everyone's throne page catagoricly means that it the information was directly available to more people than munk users right?
Temple/AR/uTimes existed at a time was the game was 50x bigger than it is. Things change. Do you still use Phrophet to simulate your province? The fact that the game is so small and targets are so scarce is exactly the reason that people don't want the entire server to know the exact hour that they'll be leaving war protection.
@umajon I didn't mean as a replacement for the support email. I meant for things like are actually appropriate for messaging them on Discord or a PM on here for the users that don't have access to either of those platforms.
