Said the DoS player, after having voted for me in the past elections.

I don't see anything wrong in pointing out problems that need solutions.

Know what, let's just end it. We'll see how the elections go and take it from there- but please, no more vicious attack ads. Let's see what the actual people want. It's tied right now. Again.

It's good to see that the situation is getting (marginally) better. Seizures have stopped, condition is at least stable, I hope with all my heart that this story has a happy ending.

Someone made a five hundred dollar donation. Whoever that is, they get serious respect from me.

The culture of Lazarus was ranked the highest of any GCR in TRT's issue on the subject last year. Llamas and I can certainly testify that our theme of propaganda and Communism was extremely fun while it lasted, and the region definitely benefited from the amazing amounts of culture we had. Well, depending on how you define culture.
 
Milograd has won a cultural victory!
 
I do not believe we should cooperate with Stujenske's government based purely on formality, policy and precedent. Recognizing the Delegate of a region as legitimate no matter what ignores the opinions of natives, your allies and disregards the R/D game, as regions are raided all the time. Legitimacy doesn't belong in NS, as there is no formal system for legitimacy that applies to regions, only ones that rulers of those regions make, ones that only last as long as they're in power. In a way, you could argue that any Delegate of a region is legitimate, but that would go against everything else that matters, and as such, we shouldn't be talking about legitimacy here. We should be talking about popularity, effectiveness and other desirable traits. The Lazarus that Stujenske has ushered in is that of NPO puppetry, you can almost consider it a raid. He got rid of all the longtime natives that populated the region and completely destroyed his international reputation. Lazarus, for a long time, has been not only a GCR, but a community. One made up of people like Funkadelia, Hobbes, Church of Satan, and even me for a while, and I do hope to rejoin one day. Stujenske destroyed all that progress with the NLO. The community of Lazarus is gone, kicked from their homes. Their culture has been knocked down, the same culture that was widely-renowned as the best in the world.
 
We shouldn't be bringing this down to simple game mechanics. We should be bringing it down to morality, justice and common sense.

Community. That's what it's all about.
 
When Stujenske took over Lazarus, he didn't only destroy the PRL, but all the culture and community that went with it. It doesn't simply boil down to game mechanics and the mere changing of the WFE to look different, it's about how Lazarus' vibrant, active community was completely destroyed, and those left exiled.

Just a few minutes ago, news broke that Leonard Nimoy has died at 83. This is a sad day for all nerds, geeks and star trek fans.
 
What was your favorite Leonard Nimoy appearance? Just to generate discussion.

With all due respect, I've known Llamas much longer than most people here, I'm sure it's not any insult to him for me to say he's a prick.
 
(Because he isn't)

You ****ing prick.

o/ Esteemed Chairman- I mean, hi. Old habits die hard.

No, definitely not... we missed you.

I call your bluff.

A noble goal. I will stand behind you 100% of the way.

Cool.
