Take care of her and yourself.  NS will still be here when you get back to us. 

Or we could just require people to list there their HGA nation or something...

This has no place on this thread or any forum. It's a game. Personal insults make me furious. If another admin doesn't split this thread, I will in the morning.

What if I start a separate government tomorrow ?  And I appoint Punk Daddy Prime Minister.  Shall the Prime Minister of my government also be given a Guardianship ingame in addition to the Prime Minister of this government ?  It would be absurd.

/me facepalms

It doesn't work that way. Either vote or not vote. There are no "conditional" votes. Your disregard for the law is getting old and boring. Is that how you pretend to grow the region?

Welcome to TWP!
 
You should get to know Tweedy.  He is a graphics afficianado.  And Yy4u on the in-game side has a thing for flags.

That would be an illegal limitation of the rights of every member of the HGA, so I'm afraid I won't do it. Also, all votes MUST be recorded in the election thread within 5 days of the thread opening up. It is honestly responsibility of each and every member of the assembly to submit its vote within the allotted time. If you are pissed off cuz the right legal processes was followed, then you may have an issue on your end.
Also, I'm a man. Not a she.

Political blunders have repercussions within a meritocratic society.

I'm with Vlagh on this one. Nothing sucks the fun out of the game faster than moralizing.

I'm old and tired, an I find the whole thing disapointing, reaching back to the establishment of the PRL. But I am also still not fully up on the situation.
Each region has it's own culture...and cultures. Not all regional cultures are obvious, nor do they all exist on forums. Multiple exist, all should be respected. Here in TWP there have been times we've had more than one government on the same forum.
NPO interest in her fellow GCR's is nothing new. And as Dark said, its branching into that other game was severely detrimental to The Pacific.
It appears the NPO has been using Lazarus as a plaything of their own. (With due respect to Harm) it was obvious from the start of the purge by Faux. And I turned down a treaty with the PRL as they would not respect all aspects of TWP...ingame and offsite. So NPO involvement now shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
That there has been involvement with a forum destroyer is unconscionable. It's the same mistake Gatesville made in Osiris. I expect respect from allies. We voided our treaty as a result. And we have had to take prior issue with statements by AMOM that compromised TWP security.
Disapointing.

Unless someone in the NPO of higher authority than AMOM posts a clarification of AMOM's retorts, we can only believe that AMOM's comments represent the will of the leadership of the NPO. 
 
I don't know what else we have to contradict that.

Since the general populace of the region and the community have broken their silence, I feel I can add my voice without causing undue influence. So...
In answer to the question of the day on the RMB:
 
TWP and the NPO have agreed on many things over the years and as a result we have grown close to them and become allies. We agree that the seated Delegate in any region is the legal ruling authority in that region. No matter how that delegate gained the seat and chooses to keep it, once in the seat, TWP, like the NPO, recognizes the in-game authority of the seated Delegate. We do not agree that the Delegate should also rule over the forum communty, however. TWP sees the forum community as it's own viable entity and the home of it's culture over which the Delegate has no direct authority unless specifically granted by the forum community.
 
The Pacific and the PRP/NPO were the first to realize that the culture of a region is as important, if not more important than it's military might. They actively pursued a forum based culture that, at the direction of the Delegate, became the political and cultural juggernaut that can still be seen today. TWP agrees that the culture of a region is it's strength. While TWP has more of a cooperative relationship between it's forum community and the in-game community, we still hold that our culture is what makes us unique and a desirable place to live, work and visit.
 
The NPO has a very high opinion of it's culture, as it should. All regions should have an identity they hold dear and a culture that makes it's members feel welcomed and excited to log in every day. The problem is that the NPO has begun to believe it's culture is best for every region. This makes me increasingly more uncomfortable as time goes by.
 
Years ago, the NPO exported it's culture and it's reach to another game universe. I admit I was part of that expansion and I gleefully took part in building that part of the NPO Empire. Right up until I noticed that the divided attention of it's single head of state was sucking the life out of the region I called home at the time, The Pacific. I left the region under less than happy circumstances (Ask me about that another time). And here we have something happening in Lazarus that makes me dread the future for the region. Their culture has been crushed and they are being homogenized into the NPO's forums. There is no longer a forum community for Lazarus. Nothing to balance the in-game power of the Delegate. There is the silence of a delegate who does not partake in their culture and the shouting of a few in-game players who can barely be heard above the NPO cultural propaganda. This makes me more than uncomfortable. It makes me sad.
 
I don't care who sits in the Delegate's chair in Lazarus, that is an in-game function. I do care immensely that the culture that made Lazarus home to many has vanished and been subverted into something wholly un-Lazarean(?). The in-game construct is there, but there is no soul. It's culturally dead.
 
This "NScultural Imperialism" is where I must step clearly away from the NPO. I can no longer feel assured that any region which comes under it's influence will survive. I cannot in good conscience stay silent and risk having people belive I am ok with it. TWP's culture is what makes us strong and that culture will not be destroyed. Our forum Community is where TWP "lives" and we can't let that Community be crushed out of existence so that the NPO may satisfy it's need to push it's own culture down everyone elses throat.
 
Every region has a right to it's own culture. The NPO took that away from Lazarus. That is what makes me uncomfortable with the NPO's move in Lazarus.

Seems like a good way to be sure everyone knows to come vote and they also have access to the campaign threads.

We dont like to lock topics, unless we really have to.
I see no reason anyone should be posting here at this time, though.  So let's just let it fade, shall we?  It's the polite thing to do.

So I finally got over my nostalgia for the previous forums and signed up here.
Feels good to be back, I guess!
(Yeah unfortunately I have lost my youthful obsession with spam, which was the case when I was last here.. )
Anyway I'm just here for chocolates... And the ocean. And TAO.
