Region: Libertatem
What the hell is happening in UCR?
Funky has joined some rogue band of raiders.
Why the hell would they attack after an update?
Looks like only one missed the update.
On the topic of the thing on vote in the WA, I believe only the production of child pornography should be banned. The distribution and possession of child pornography constitute as victimless crimes. If you only ban the production of it, logically the rest should follow.
Eww, no. VOTERR was an awful piece of legislation that I wrote as a newbie in the region. I did not understand the constitutional traditions of the region.
Concerning "Grimesgate" - the claim that I and Liberosia are somehow setting up some sort of monarchy is beyond stupid. We believe that Humph is the best candidate to succeed me due to his regional loyalty, activism and commitment to upholding the Constitution of Libertatem. He is extremely qualified for the job, having held the positions of Boardman, Board Chairman and Vice President.
It is sad that reasonable political discourse has been turned into a series of personal attacks, and confusing that there has been so much disagreement over such insignificant issues. Despite the MPA's claims of being some sort of "people's alternative" to the RLP, the uncomfortable truth is that there are few policy differences between the two groups aside from nominal bickering over candidates and directions. The MPA has supported nearly every piece of legislation proposed and passed by the RLP, and any general views on foreign policy are vague and poorly articulated. At the beginning of my Presidency we were united in embrace for change and restoration. Now, we are more divided than ever before. Even my decision to "de-whip" the RLP hasn't been enough for you. We need to come together once more, put aside our differences and keep moving forward.
Board Elections
If anyone decided to challenge a sitting Boardman, elections will begin tomorrow.
Why are we all still acting like the MPA is still around. Everyone. MPA=Defunct. There was no need for the MPA ever.

I'm still confused as to who actually runs the MPA. There's a lot of ambiguity around it.
Stop pulling an Ipian, TTA.
Say, what happened to Ipian anyway?
No one. I told Ankha to end it. Leaders of the MPA were Me, Hallo (Who I gave it to and then asked him to give it to Ankha when he got a bit too..flamey) and Ankha (Who I told about 3 weeks ago to end it)
CTE'd like all his RMB posts.
We should do some purging and recruiting. And maybe get some people to endorse the delegate so we don't have to be non-executive all the time.
Which reminds me. I need WA. Okay as soon as I'm appealed if it's in my favor I'll grab it for this account.
Meh. Perhaps if I ran for president as well, it would help level the playing field by divvying up the votes. Of course I am a military general and not a lawmaker, and I wouldn't expect to win, but at least you wouldn't see a heavy concentration of favoritism amongst one or two people and there would be choices.
Ya hemp is like the Hillary Clinton of Libertatem.
So, is anyone considering running for chairman?
How?
The Board elections coincide with the Presidential elections, right?
Well, there was a vote of no confidence in the current chairman and I think that there will be a poll tomorrow.
Go for it.
Someone would have to run for my position.
Just a behavior analysis.
Based on what?
Your behavior.
Why would there be a poll for a Chairman's impeachment, it is just you four, not the region.
Why? Are you resigning?
I told him not to throw down Pevident.
Pev announced there would be a poll against a sitting Chairman
If anyone makes a mistake you call them incompetent but the fact is that people make mistakes. Also you said that you would appoint someone to the board when the board is elected by the people.
"If anyone decided to challenge a sitting Boardman, elections will begin tomorrow."
I guess this is it then. I would like to start off my farewells by saying thanks for the great times I had here. A worthy several months spent here I must say. But alas, I must leave now. I would like to point out that sending out a telegram stating my theory of something that is obvi happening and saying it's best not to trust in that, even if there is little chance, is not bad. Saying to vote for someone else, how is this bad? Rather than a pro-someone-else reception I am met with anti Humpheria reception. Why is this? Sure it is both, but why must we go negative? Grimesgate effectively removes me from the region and demolishes my reputation somehow, so not leaving would be idiotic. I leave with words to each of you that are active enough to see this now.
[nation]Miencraft[/nation]
You have always been level headed and I have always respected you. You've been a great friend in the time I've resided here. I will truly miss you.
[nation]Godisdead[/nation]
Alchandria, Godisdead. An excellent man. I've always liked you. Our connections on religion and general politics have always made our relationship strong. I have come to regard you as a close ally of sorts.
[nation]The New United States[/nation]
Never really got to know you a great deal, but you've always come off as a good guy. Good luck with your Middle East stuff.
[nation]Humpheria[/nation]
What do I say. I feel like you're one of the one's here that hide behind their words frequently and avoid saying what they really mean at all costs. I have never felt welcomed here by you, ever. You have made me feel like a second class citizen many times in the past. Despite my reservations, I find you to be a great guy most of the time. It was never about bringing you down. Good luck with your presidency.
[nation]Hallo Island[/nation]
You are one of the few people here I genuinely dislike. Though I'll support your struggle of being gay in all ways, recently I just have not liked you for being the way you are. Sorry.
[nation]Lack there of[/nation]
Lack you've always been a kind gentleman. Idk I'm running out of ways to say "I think you're a good guy," but yeah there you go. Keep up your good work.
[nation]Muh Roads[/nations]
I don't really have a strong opinion of you either way, but same with Humph, I have never felt welcomed by you and treat as not a real citizen.
[nation]Minerva[/nation]
No strong opinion, you've been a generally good person though. Best of luck with military operations while you still hold the reigns.
[nation]The Neo-Confederate States of America[/nation]
We've butted heads a few times here and there I must say, but here towards the end I've truly grown to like you. Thanks for all the support.
[nation]Conservative Idealism in Libertatem[/nation]
Other than back in our time in the TFIs, I'm not a fan of yours.
[nation]The Amarican Empire[/nation]
Good luck man. You've always been there to back me up since your arival and I regard you as a very close ally and friend here. Best of luck to you, although they've barred you for speaking your mind to knock out a worthy competitor to Humpheria, a true tragedy. Tactical of them to do that. Anyway see you around man.
[nation]Ankha[/nation]
Really don't like you much either philosophically
[nation]Right-winged Nation[/nation]
I hold nothing against you for winning our election, to be clear. Good luck with everything, I never knew you well, which is regrettable. You seem to be a decent fellow.
[nation]Albenia[/nation]Like with Hallo or Ankha, we've battled a lot over philosophy. But I actually do like you. I know it's paradoxical, to like a socialist mormon, two things I don't like, but I there is just something about you that makes me actually like you deep down. Thanks for the debates and such. Cheerio.
[nation]Pevvania[/nation]
You introduced me to the light of Libertatem. When I first came here you showed me the ropes, and that is where our friendship ends. I do not know what happened down the road. But I know you're leadership hasn't been that great. Humpheria will do a far better job than you, just saying. Even though you'll still be in the cabinet, as military general for some reason, when your tactics suck. I've said it so many times. Seriously revise that, please. Your over explanations have always really annoyed me too, as you always write a dump-load of information for no reason. So much of it is extraneous that you just throw in there, I don't even know why what for. It's puzzling. You always vote against me for no real reason which is annoying. You've been generally nice though, so farewell to thee.
[nation]Liberosia[/nation]
Last but not least, his majesty himself, Liberosia. Everything I need to say to you I did yesterday in TGs, so you can refer back to those for your farewell.
So that is it then. It's been great. Goodbye everyone. I really hope I didn't mess up any of the formatting tags, and if I did sorry, that was a lot of brackets and "nation"s to type, so pardon me. I cast off later today.
That is the normal elections for BOARDmen, not the impeachment for CHAIRman.
Wow I didn't even try on Minerva's sorry, and I don't know how Muh's is messed up.
But I could run for chairman if I chose to.
If that's what you think it was, then I'm sorry, but you never will understand. Farewell, RRRG.
You'd either have to impeach Lack today, or run in August with the Board, not the region. Do you know how that process works?
Well, with the departure of RRRG, we lose another.
RRRg stay in the region. Your departure is another victory for the RLP tyranny.
They keep making scandals and leaving. Like I said, we should all just love each other and not strife.
Okay, I guess I do overuse that word a bit. But I've only used it on someone in this region once, and that is because I was angry. And I don't see how following the Constitution is arrogant - if nobody steps forward to challenge a candidate, then the President appoints a replacement.
Uh.... you do know that the RLP had nothing to do with it right? He's leaving because I brought his attempt at backroom dirty politics to light.
Yes, I am pondering on the possibility.
You really don't have to leave, it's just politics. But bye, I guess.
Erm, I?
So, what should we do for the impeachment amendment I'll be proposing soon? Throw some ideas at me.
And who do you have to thank for that? Pev brought around the ideas for elections, and I wrote the legislation on it. The Board used to be appointed by Liberosia. Would you like to go back to that?
Well, we. Couldn't of done it without ya, Godisdead, you unlikely supporter you.
Rofl, bye man.
Jim Crow was better then slavery. That does not mean it was right.
I NOT A SOCIALIST RRRG!
Anyways bye again.
Are you seriously comparing a fully elected political system to segregation?
Good analogy, but I don't really see the relevance. All that I'm saying is that it doesn't make much sense to accuse the one who is responsible for our switch to republican democracy from a business of being appointment-happy.
Turning off executive powers keeps us safe.
Ideally you shouldn't need to, like some regions our size have at least 15 people endorsing the delegate.
That being said, let's focus on getting some fresh blood in here, eh?
I'm sending out recruitment telegrams every day. It's been an unusually slow summer for NationStates.
Tell me about it. General is dead, the Senate is dead, the WA/SC is dead, even II looks dead. Raiding is going slowly too, and I don't mean just us, but all raiders in general. Ditto where the defenders are.
Since stuff is going slow anyways, sign up for this.

Especially Pev, since I started this partially because I knew you'd be in it.
Aww how sweet of you!
I'm a little busy today, but I'll get to it eventually.
You definitely have my support.
When are board elections?
They start Thursday if Pev doesn't push them forward.
They'll start as soon as someone steps forward to challenge a Boardman.
Or that.
I miss you already. Those were good times we had back in the TFIs, even though we did have to put up with Texacoe and Neutricland.
RRRG remember CFN. Join us.
ooooh bad memory.
Self-promotin' much?
Aweh CFN sucks hun
No it doesn't
Ye
So, when is this mega region between Federal Islands, IRU, etc. taking place? It would be much easier to work with two large regions than a bunch of tiny ones.
Has a merger been suggested?
For like centuries now, PEv. Get with the times.
I don't know, but we could just absorb them all. *wicked laugh*
I like this plan.
Blake, it's like a bunch of little Blakes. I can deal with one, but not like 100.
When TTA's appeal has been processed, don't forget that we're going to press charges against Einsiev for treason.
Guys, I need a new party.
ACOP.
LIC.
RLP.
Wait, no, not that last one.
Maybe I'll join the RLP for hahas
*pops champagne*
I am running against Hallo.
They need a replacement for me, and I could dig it.
I'm going to poop on you.
The forum won't let me post yet I still have a nation. Can anyone get to Technical for me.
We're only several months late.
ACOP will take anyone. If you join another party, you can choose to run under their banner instead of ours. Come to think of it, it's more of a club, really, but I'd prefer people not make "ACOC" jokes.
I think the forums are borked at the moment.
I am just glad I got my Olympics roster updated in time before it borked.
Don't you think the LIC should be listed in the Party Factbook somewhere?

Whenever TTA isn't here I just assume that he is participating in some religious bullshit.
... Alrighty then.
I'm in band camp..I juat left.
I have it again at 6
We have band camp in two weeks, when it is hotter. Thank you, Howard.
Why is there an advertisement for Max Barry's book at the bottom of the page, this whole website is an advertisement for Max Barry's book.
