Welcome to the Lair!

Ugabay, Solargria, The ones behind the slaughter
You've embarked on a grand adventure through the realms of NationStates, and we are excited to see you florish.

To begin down your path, join your fellow denizens within our Discord. There you can become a Kobold citizen, join either the Chromatic Clan, Metallic Clan, Crystalline Clan, or Elemental Clan, and begin down the Claw, Wing, or Hoarding Path.

For those new to NationStates, we're building a beginner's guide. If you need anything, let us know - for all is for the Hoard, and the Hoard is for the Lair!

.

All for the hoard, the hoard for the lair!
The Greatwyrms protect, the kobolds provide.

Mention the phrase "Papa Jotun says pay me" to the Silver Dragon for 1000 Gold Coins. Redeemable once per kobold.

This Dispatch is to give you the quick start guide for Lair of the Dragon. Its always going to be improved, as the game continues evolving, and feedback is always welcomed - send a Telegram to The Word of the Dragon with your suggestion.
» The Goal of The Lair: Money, Fame, and Friends «

Lair of the Dragon has a few things we focus on as a region, and as the title above says, it can be summed up as Money, Fame, and Friends.

> Money - There are several stats that we emphasize in-game, namely the Economy, Average Income, and Economic Output stats, alongside the cards minigame stat of International Artwork. We also have a little economy thing Linkin our Discord where gold coins are given to folks who complete various quests or do things for the region.

> Fame - Raiding and Diplomacy are what gets us fame. Raiding is part of the NationStates military gameplay, and there is a lot of information there that can't be covered in a beginner's guide, but the short of it is taking over regions using the World Assembly Delegacy to either post our tag, or to take the region for ourselves. Diplomacy is generally any interaction with another region in NationStates, whether it be to improve or worsen relations. There are some regions that we will almost always be antagonistic towards, but class and good taste are key to being a good villain.

> Friends - The last, and arguably most important, part of what Lair of the Dragon is about is Friends! Through the avenues of Roleplay in the Regional Message Board, hosting Cultural Events, sharing cool Dragon Media, or getting new people into the region and discord, we gain the most valuable treasure of all; Friendship!


» How to Achieve the Goals «

> How to achieve these goals - In order to achieve these goals, I've made some things to encourage doing things. The Paths are rewards for players doing things. The Hoarding Path is reward titles for people doing things to get money, and the Claw and Wing Paths are reward titles and powers for doing things to get Fame and Friends. The Clans are a way to generate competition, where I can poke all the people in the clans and give them a goal to reach.

There is no 'winning' or 'end state'. This website is literally older than MySpace and Facebook. However, you can absolutely set goals for yourself, and strive to achieve them. Examples include:
  • Have a lot of high stats in an area.

  • Collect NS Cards.

  • Roleplay.

  • Build a region/community.

  • Legislate in the World Assembly.

  • Lead an NS Military in raiding, defending, or both.

  • Write interesting issues.

  • Others that exist but I'm not coherent enough to write out.

For all those brand new to NationStates, there is a wonderful a guide written that will get you all the information you need to fly far into the realm of NationStates.

Bowtie Pasta is the best for buttered noodles. If it is a cheesy pasta then you can't go wrong with the elbow noodles. Angel hair is best with alfredo sauce.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am new to NationStates. I am still unsure how to change your influence level. Is this based on how active you are? How many comments you post? ETC. How do you become more influential?

Dragons of the west wrote:Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am new to NationStates. I am still unsure how to change your influence level. Is this based on how active you are? How many comments you post? ETC. How do you become more influential?

Ohhh right right!
So influence is a game mechanic that you accrue twice a day at Update. You get one influence point each Update, plus an additional influence for every endorsement that you have.
Your actual level/title is based on how much influence you have as a percentage of the total influence with Lair of the Dragon

Will technology save the human race or destroy it?

Depends, technology can help in the sense that it helps alert people about any natural disaster that may occur such as tsunamis, monsoons or cyclones via television or radio or even in smartphones. Also, the latter helps us stay up to date with news and things that happen around us such as assaults, robberies, shootings, etc. even with social media.
