You are absolutely right. I am never satisfied. And my attitude does not explain my military junta government but if you feel that you have me all figured out then kudos to you. If you like living a life of misunderstanding, ignorance, and hidebound assumptions then hey that is you. Ignorance is truly bliss. Indeed it is but let's get one thing perfectly clear for you kiddo: I do not know how it was before I was here nor do I know if you are so used to getting your way or having people do what you wish but one thing you should know about me and burn in your embryonic skull right now is that I absolutely do not take kindly to misguided souls that have a superiority complex so that they may get a minute glimpse of what it is like to have attention or at least the slightest feeling of others wanting to converse with you. I have heard things about you from people and honestly, it does not surprise me. It is actually quite sad and it makes me honestly want to be your friend but then I wish not to burden myself with an unfortunate task.

You really, really missed the mark on me.

One thing you ought to know about me (other than relying on what other people tell you, that is) is that I behave different around different people. It's nothing new or wrong, but I change how I act depending on who I'm with. Because deep down, I'm a people pleaser.

If I'm with someone I think I can talk to and have a good time with, I'll probably be the most laid back and chill guy you know. But if you are sensitive or outright aggressive towards me, then I'll be the same.

I only have problems with people if they have a problem with me. Of which, our problems all started when you overreacted to a simple statement of mine and became aggressive. Otherwise, I'd probably get along with you just fine- because, like stated above, I try to please people.

But, if you "don't want to take the 'burden'", as you say, more power to you. I'm not losing anything by not getting along with you.

Hey guys due to some big personal things I'm going through right now I'm probably gonna be a lot less active for a while. I'm still working on the constitutional proposal slowly in the background with the help of some great dudes (CC and Oel shoutout) but I'm probably not gonna be as present on the RMB or Discord until I've worked some of my issues out. I don't really know how long it'll take, could be a week or a few months it's totally unpredictable but I'll be back sometime. I'll try to not let my small network of puppets CTE in the meantime but if any of you see any CTE (especially the one in the original CFN) please do let me know on Discord and I'll patch it up quickly.

I've never really taken a big leave of absence from NS, not since I started back in 2013 so this'll be an experience for me, but I appreciate you all as regionmates, debaters and friends and I hope I'll be able to retake my place as that guy who likes to be talk about socialism in the hopefully not too far future.

Have a good one, guys.

Yeah, you're basically me. I see myself slipping more into it, so go easy - but I generally just have them at the weekend at the pub or something, but when I do I rocket through them because it's just something to do (and makes you look older/people less like to start on you). Since I've got exams I find a quick one before them calms me down and gets me in the right headspace.

C) WMDs can't be used.

Imma combine all of the above into my new, totally-realistic, Kalaron-approved, X-69 MkIIIIII Super Ultra Mega Ion-Propulsion Gluten-Free Nuke Laser. It's a prototype, thought up by my 8-year old nephew, so it's technically PMT. It's powered by the souls of small children, and fires hyper-sonic B-list movie actors with the force of a thousand comets.

Electromagnetic Pulses are EMPs.

So I'd say they're WMDs and are not explicitly banned but really looked down upon.

I'd prefer it if they weren't, though. They don't directly cause any damage except for disabling electronics within a predetermined radius.

Sounds deliciously evil!

But seriously, what a dumb idea. I forget who tried to detonate an EMP while their leader was in an airport.

But I think that'd be an indirect effect of the EMP. Not something direct.

Andromitus wrote:Are EMP's banned?

Alright, well, that's an interesting question.

I would argue that most weapons listed inside of that WMD list should be [B]disallowed[/B] from RP. This would include Biological Weaponry, Nuclear Weaponry and Electromagnetic Pulses of (High) strength.

Using it to destroy a specific and unshielded facility should be fine, using it to attack a nation in general is dumb and would have the same, massive, degree of collateral damage.

It was more meant as a joke. I don't care what people do with their bodies. It just annoys and saddens me that people are so careless about their health. Smoking was one of the main causes of the death of my grandpa. Lung cancer with the result of removing one lung. The cancer spread and they had to remove his stomach too. From there it was going down.

So I have my stance regarding smoking. And that why it saddens me when friends smoke knowing that similar events can happen to them too.

It's included in my most recent edit of Unf's proposal. Ultimately, it's up to Unf to include it or not, but I'm pretty sure he's on board.

I think Nurem is busy at the moment, so I'll fill in for him:

Wtf, May?! Reform human rights legislation to aid in your anti-terror campaign! What type of election-fuelled rhetoric is that?

I worry that she's watching House of Cards as though it's a playbook and not a work of fiction for the purpose of entertainment.

Uh, funny enough, I was still in HS when the first couple seasons came out, and seeing how Frank underwood manipulated people and won over their votes for his personal ambitions was what made me like politics.

And plus, some seasoned politicians say that House of Cards is a great representation of how Congress actually works. Bill Clinton went on record of saying to Kevin Spacey: “Kevin, 99 percent of what you do on that show is real. The 1 percent you get wrong is you could never get an education bill passed that fast".

Ye. Put yourself thousands of dollars in debt for a degree that might not even win you a well paying career.

Well done, Con. Pretty much sums up her BS.

I was indeed busy. My mother became unwell on Sunday and she was in hospital Monday and Tuesday. She is okay now though and is back home where she belongs.

Hey, you don't mind if I post on this right? I'm not going to be getting involved I'm just going to send a high-speed UAV with a really spiffy camera over to check in on whats going on; I don't know about you guys, but this looks like another Khutongia Incident just waiting to happen, I mean it's happening in Kongo too lol

Actually, that could be a pretty cool backstory in that region, Mag and I fought in Kongo before the PLR took over in the region, hence why their a military government and why Handland would want to "stabilize" them; But it's up to you guys.

Also, to everyone, I'm going to be undergoing some OOC Government changes, essentially I'm going to diversify Harmony (The online voting system I got going) and to implement a low power Senate to add realism and to keep me from becoming a mobocracy, I'm still working out general details but y'all might as well know. Oh, and I just have too stress this again, these changes are going to be OOC not IC so I won't be posting about it on the Confederacy General.
