Sorry I missed this. Good interview. I do believe Milo is a wee bit delusional if he thinks He did break the trust of those who 'allowed' him to be elected. And, to be honest, if those same people did not hold power, much less moral authority, to remove him from power he'd still be in power today. One thing we can't forget about in-game versus forum-game is that the people at the controls switches on the forum-game usually have the most influence in-game. Thus when in-gamers give you the delegacy and you go rogue, you are betraying trust nearly by definition. The fact that any GCR isn't in a constant state of civil war is due because the oligarchs who have power have decided upon a mechanism to transfer that power or in TP's case eternally bestow a power upon a particular person. I certainly like Milo's ultimate ideal best, but shaking your head at those who felt betrayed and also had the power to remove you was flawed thinking, in my opinion.

I'm sorry...TP guys...you're in an alliance...or you were and didn't come to their aide. That the person who led the coup now posts this statement is a bit ironic,no? Yes, I agree that TSP's diplomatic acumen is a bit lacking...you just can't spin not supporting the Coalition when Milo couped with any type of rational reasoning nor should you have expected anythign less than their response. Now..as for TWP and TP relations, they were once pretty good. I recall a couple of years ago while delegate, posting significant support for Krull. I was later disappointed that Krull did not support my claims against TSP at the time and do find it also ironic, that much of what I said then is now coming from folks like TP. I believe TSP has changed for the better...but honestly their statements from today do make me inclined to wonder if I'm not the fool.

I've been trying to resurrect it for a few years. Not likely to happen. Never say never, but well...never...hehehe. But without the Merit something is missing from NS, in my opinion

Thanks, man. Thought that was really cool. I'm no code monkey, but if I can help in any way I will.

Winni - is there any way possible to bring the old Merit voting where you could see where people were voting in real time?

Hey Gates, definitely long time no see. Hope you've been well!!

Greetings earthling! Welcome to the Oligarchial Isle of The West Pacific.

Welcome to the freak show!

Thanks for the update. Whoever does your comedy has a dark side!

congrats!

A weekly telegram would be powerful. Something that has a consistent layout. - Short message from the delegate - Weekly happenings (e.g. Karoake Fridays) - From the Office of - FA Minister - Laandstraad minister - Comm Minister - Joke of the Week - how to get involved!? things like that.

Weekly mass TG should be used. We should be the standard of how to use the new TG system. With the new TG system feeders should become even more powerful than ever.

This is actually the first April Fool's Day stunt that has me at all interested. Probably the last as well. I'm a gamer, i like playing games, and i like games that require me to do stuff. This is fun...but our population is zombified!

*hits the snooze button*

This is unfortunately true. I think we may be on a hiatus given what has happened here in TWP and Region Inc deciding not to re-up with us.

...he'll never steal that nickname. Uni will always be Unistrut. Uni only is afforded that nick because Unistrut is long retired, but were he to return...It's 'bot for me when referencing Unibot

With my significant other on these boards, it's probably best if I don't comment on this particular title.

BTW - WOF left because she thought it was too boring here. Maybe she left a couple of days too soon.

Of course it is. Making sure that the region is secure is critical. You don't want to wake up one day and a non-Guardian is in power and you have no idea what they'll do.

Intelligent Holograms...I'm going to do something that may surprise some. I hold great respect for Eli and Darkesia, but in this I cannot stand with them. It's true I have been involved in usurped governments (aka the Crimson Order) but by and large I have supported the ruling regimes within the feeders. I believe that Eli and Dark are overstepping here and are choosing to do this versus talk with Yy and the rest of us about how to improve things. I told you all before, if Eli one day decides to go in one direction, that's pretty much where we'd be force to go. Well, I say we should stand up and defend our delegate's right to exist and not be under the thumb of the whim of eli or the previously chocolately "goodness" of Darkesia. Yy and Westwind, count me on your side!

This was just a test of the waters to see if we were paying attention. Frankly, with multiple guardians it would be pretty difficult to go undetected in this region. But - I can't blame 'em for seeing if that was the case.

Hmm...on my screen there were 2 posts....grr...and it was a good one too.. Too tired to rerwrite.

NationStates Republic is now a misnomer. The original idea i had was for a Star Wars like republic; a confederation of regions. That idea was not met with a lot of, shall we say, agreement. It's now an alliance and I would say the membership is presently zero as until region's ratify the constitution, we're effectively non-existent.

double post?? oops

Ah...didn't see this post. WOF Democratica is PD's RL Wife. After years of begging, pleading, and prodding she randomly decided to join the game. Woo hoo...now to see if we can get her to stay!
