Blimey, I actually got a name check - thought I'd managed to stay well under the radar! However riddled with holes this article may be it does pose a very real question - Whither now TWP? I have made no secret of my own vision of a truly independent TWP, strong enough to follow a path that benefits the region rather than playing to the crowd, or allowing its direction to be swayed disproportionately by the vested interests of those who do not cherish the region, but see it only as a vehicle to further their own ambition. Unibot implies in his article that TWP is on currently on the peripheries of NS activity, and that is something we should relish and cultivate - being different offers us the potential to be innovative. Darkesia has hinted at the opening up of our constitutional structure, and I like to think that, in my small way, I am encouraging diversity and initiative in the Military sphere. We do not need anyone outside the region to decide our destiny, we are capable of determining our own fate

Anything that can be written about in snark-filled rants, usually.

I'm actually being serious, though. I think, to some extent, we're naturally fitted to be the Devil's Advocate to the status quo in the GCR's, which is an dormant opportunity waiting for us to capitalize on it. For all intents and purposes, I intend to see to it that it materializes into something. People stick around in the feeders that actively pursue an agenda in the world's politics and offer them a place in contributing to that front. The question is more what our agenda would be - influence is the obvious aim, but where we choose to focus our energy to achieve it is the question I'm asking. Specialization, or having a "hook", is the first thing needed to make a community stand out above the rest. For a long time, TEP had its RP community as a hook. The Pacific's hook was its constant role at the heart of Gameplay's major conflicts. Et cetera. I think our philosophy provides a foundation for that, and that the prominence of TWP is only awaiting a proactive, government-and-citizen driven expansion of its consequences. How do you all think we can translate our unique philosophy into a tangible, hook-like activity both internally and externally?
