On the front is Confederation of Yukona in English and in a few Salish languages like Chinook. The coat of arms is displayed on the front in gold whereas inside the front cover is the Yukona flag and smaller below it the flags of the Native tribes of the country.

What about yours?

Red like on my flag with the three headed crowned eagle on the front saying The Crowned Commonwealth of Nuremgard (in Norsk of course.) As for the inside, I'm not too sure. Probably pictures of famous monuments, environments and historical figures.

I'd rather you not do that, but to answer your question, yes we do have mouths. And if you really want to see what's inside us, it's the same as a non-living steam locomotive: we don't have organs, muscles, or anything like that. We have some saliva and blood (though we can't bleed), though even I have no idea where it comes from.

If engines could shrug, then I'd be doing that right now. Like Donald and Douglas said, a lot of this is just a byproduct of the hidden magic of the Island of Sodor, so trying to find a logical explanation for it is going to drive you bonkers.

No, but a common misconception, the Borg, at least early versions, are known as a "Hive Mind", and later adaptations were an "Over Mind"; Instead, we are trying to replicate and build a successful "Group Mind": essentially a a hypothetical psychic, or in this case digital, unity or collective consciousness of a group of individuals.

Instead of one single mind shared over multiple bodies, or controlling multiple bodies, we are a collection of minds sharing a digital space; essentially, all the good things of a Hive/Over-Mind, but still allowing us to maintain our individualism. Yes, as of now, its only a Digital Construct, but later in the future? I think it'll be a bit more personal...

Funny enough, there's also not one saying that the nation had to be inside of our region to take part in the map, yet you disagree with that.

It's Bax's choice, but frankly I consider it a ridiculous idea to add onto the military one nation (for the sake of argument, that's how I refer to you and your little empire deal) if we won't even verify that this isn't just an alt-account.

It's Bax's choice, but frankly I consider it a ridiculous idea to add onto the military one nation (for the sake of argument, that's how I refer to you and your little empire deal) if we won't even verify that this isn't just an alt-account.

Like, I'm fine with the Reich because, hey, it's all well established RPers who I know aren't the same person -I mean, that's one of the advantages of WA, after all- and I know it isn't just Baxten calling the shots.

I think it's time that the gov takes care of the map, so you won't be jumping in as a shiny knight. And no worries, both Helen and my brother will be having their WA up really soon :)

Also, I never got his claim....

He told me on Discord that he would contact you. Let me text him.

Maybe he got with me on Discord. I haven't been on in a while, so I'd understand.

Nice, I thought that name-calling was over when we all clearly identified that Trolls and people who've lost the case were the ones who used it...but I guess not.

I'd write a counter to your point if it even said anything more than "You're a white knight!", but I can only deal with reality, so *shrug*.

I'm glad that they're getting their WA, it only takes a button click or two after all.

While your commitment is definitely good, I don't know if your brother getting WA is a good idea. The mods may come in and ban you. Unless y'all live in different houses

That's not how WA works.

The mods, in their own words use more than just IP to find it, so it's more or less fine to have two in the same house, just not on the same computer.

"Sharing a network or IP address is usually fine. The game does not rely on any single method of identifying WA cheats, but combines data from many different methods to calculate the likelihood that multiple WA nations are operated by the same person."

Well, currently we are in the same house until I leave back for Tirana. I am only here due to my health conditions being terrible. If I am not mistaken Peng said something like if you don't log in in the same devices it's okay. So I am waiting to leave the house go back to my devices in Tirana and have him log in from these devices that I am currently using.

I was never there when you made any sort of clarification. Have a nice day Kaluu

You don't have to live in different houses, I did it with my brother when he played. You can't use the same computer though or phone.

Well, I'm glad you at least admit to name-calling.

Guess that's halfway to getting you to admit it's wrong.

This attack in London is super, super scary. It's alright to sit in your armchair and say this and that, but when you have friends who are in the lockdown - when you directly recognise the places where people are being treated for stab/crash wounds. It's just heartbreaking. Seeing the police officers shout "you lot, get into cover now" as people sprint down the street, confused. It hits home because it is home. Let us all wish good health to those attempting recovery, and send our hearts to the grieving families. Daily reminder to any terrorist organisation, from ISIS to the IRA, blowing up kids and crashing cars into crowds isn't going to make you any less of a bunch of c*nts.

I felt the same way when the bin lorry crashed in George Square in Glasgow. Not entirely the same because that wasn't a terrorist attack but I know what you mean about it being scary because it's home.

My thoughts and sympathies are with the victims and their poor families. Our democracy will not be undermined by terrorist scum.

Somebody I knew was killed by a drunk driver in New York driving a bin lorry. I always remember him ruffling my hair when I was a youngin'. Bless his heart.
