Westwind Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 So I'm sitting and gazing at the region and see..... "Tags: 5 others.Game Player, Founderless, Regional Government, Gargantuan, and World Assembly." And that all seems fine. But what do you think ? These all seem to be appropriate for TWP, but maybe you have other ideas. Maybe you feel we're too casual to be silly...... or not pro-communist enough to be anti-fascist. Or maybe we should really add National Sovereigntist to the tags to help provide a clearer understanding of our respect for the rights of each nation. Or....something else ? You got tag ideas ? I'd like to hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkesia Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I like the idea of adding the Nat Sov tag. If you can write your own tags, Anti-Marsupial seems a good one to add as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Heh, Anti-Marsupial..... can't write our own tags, but we can request tags to be added by Mods. Although it looks like they don't want to add more unless it's popular, and are considering limiting tags. http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=111955 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karland Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 From what I've seen our stance isn't so much so against NS Fascism that it warrants such a tag on our region. I'm not so sure of the tag 'Silly'. I think we're a tad more cereal than silly, to be honest. I'm also in favour of adding the Nat Sov tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I think we should have an Anti NS Fascism (Nazi) tag if only for the reason of their incessant spamming and links to racist third party web pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentium Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I think we should have an Anti NS Fascism (Nazi) tag if only for the reason of their incessant spamming and links to racist third party web pages. Part of me thinks that some of these guys are actually "trolling", and this will only "feed" them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Some of them are trolling, that's true. But Tweedy is also correct that RL racist fascists are using NS to spread their poisonous ideologies. Considering the impressionable minds on NS, I think that kind of propaganda needs to be pointed out and addressed. I think we're a tad more cereal than silly *chuckles* That'sa cerious and hugh point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Oh, I should also mention that our Anti-fascist tag is leading to new diplomatic openings with some regions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consular Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I think anti-fascist in a way links to the national sovereignty thing - the WA are almost fascist in the way they demand I care for the environment and force laws down my throat ...I mean our throats. Or do I? I think I've lost what I was saying so I'm just going to stop here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligent Holograms Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 They want diplomatic relations purely because we have a tag? So they don't care about the region behind the tag, just the fact we have a tag. I'd say keep the 'anti-fascist' tag for the moment and drop the 'silly' tag.

Consular Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'm guessing that they are working on the assumption that a fascist region wouldn't have "anti-fascist" as a tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 *nods* It wasn't just our tag, but also our military actions against the Nazi regions, and our work with the other GCR's to get the Nazi Europe liberation passed. I'll add the Nat Sov tag. Are there any other thoughts on the Silly tag ? It seems appropriate to me, given some of our RMB conversations, but if enough would like it dropped, I'll do that.

Darkesia Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 But I like being labeled silly. It helps to remind people that in at least one GCR we don't take ourselves so seriously. It's a game. Let's be silly while we play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhang Bhang Duc Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Don't drop the silly tag - silly defines us a lot of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consular Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 All it takes is one glance at the RMB to know that we should keep the silly tag. Whose idea was it to put rum in the coffee? *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligent Holograms Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 That would have been my idea. What can I say? I was in a Pirate mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 I once had an idea for a group of Pirate raiders. They'd belong to no region, but would 'Sail the Five Pacifics'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligent Holograms Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Pillaging as they went, no doubt. Perhaps we can persuade the Admins to create a pirate tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedy Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I was briefly a pirate raider, but I found being a minority of one was a distinct disadvantage, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'm still a pirate with my nation Pirates Lair hanging around TNP. Anyone else remember the French Pirates (what was that...8 -9 years agon now ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cormac Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 How about the Independent tag? Although there's an argument to be made that TWP's flavor of independence is already covered by the Game Player tag, without the other political connotations attached to Independent. But it might be a discussion worth having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Yeah, that could be. Although BBD might want to lean more Imperial or Raider.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
