By insulting me?
Call it tough love, kiddo. Or are you too tired to care?
MMmmmmkay
.....mmmmmm how to put this delicately....
Everyone in online at this moment [apart from your insignificant ***] currently dislikes you because you think that your opinion matters more than theirs. If anything, I personally think that if anyone should shut their puny, pathetic trap it should be you.
You might just be very hated by everybody
Yours truly - Andromitus

Tough love? B17ch you don't even know me!
Hated by everyone? I'm honored. Call me a martyr for my cause.
Haha see what I mean?
no I don't, as tough love has an entirely different meaning than what you think it is.
If that's the case, I would leave the policing to me, because you're not doing a great job of it. Everyone here needs to cool it! We don't need this hostility or rudeness; that goes for both sides.
Aldaur, Andromitus, The Cross And Davids Star
Your silly little l33t curses and "you don't know me!"... It's how punks talk. You are doing the exact thing I am talking about.
No you dont get it. We ALL have a duty to police the RMB.
call me what you will, I don't care. and also, if you can't police the RMB effectively, just don't.
But you so obviously do care. You are desperate for my approval, or you wouldn't respond to my comments. Silly.
Can everybody not respond to the troll?
Seriously, we've been through this whole thing before.
Aldaur, Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Apparently you do as well, as you responded to my first comment, therefore starting this, maybe it's because your lonely and want someone to talk to.
Am I the troll? If I am, why are you responding? Way to go.
See above
So yeah, how are y'all?
My day's been pretty quiet.
Ludania, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Omg i responded to your crass comment because we all have a responsibility to police the rmb. I'm doing my duty as a resident of this region.
No joke a single room in my school has WiFi, but other then that, I think things are fine on this end
Well glad we're all still having fun.
I second Mr. Kalaron's comment about feeding trolls. We need to remember that we are all friends here and that there are ways to respectfully interact with each other.
Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Well alrighty, I'm glad everything has been fine.
Ugh, I seriously should get to Tse's truck.
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
your "duty" would be justified if I was posting hate speech, but I'm not, all I said was that I was too tired to care, but you jump on that faster than flies to a carcass.
Stop responding to him, please.

Are you going on a road trip together?
I'm doing fine. My day was boring so far.
The armored car/IFV.
I was gonna get to work on it last night, but Concert killed me, and I'm still dying even now.
Also at school, but that is moreover just annoying.
Oh! That thing. Right. I was confused for a minute there.

Post self-deleted by Andromitus.
^ I second that
That's OK, live like me, live in a near-constant state of confusion that lifts only a few hours of the day before sinking back into the muck of needing sleep.
Andromitus
I would be more appreciative if you were actually trying to promote civility and enforce the laws of the CoFN, but you're not doing that. Unless you change your attitude, your 'policing' isn't helping things at all.
So...normal people? Be a normal people?
Then consider this post along with that of the President to be the post finishing the argument.
Don't be normal, Rev! Be better than normal! Be confused *all* the time
Tserra
Yes.
Be a normal many people.
Be a normal many people making a Titanium Disulfide Armoured Car.

Question:
Are advent calendars common in your country ?
Nuremgard, Continental Commonwealths
Very.
Penguania And Antarctica
Yessir, I would say so. I have a colleague who got one that has a different sample of scotch for each day. So, they even make ones for grown ups here.

First of all, Fascists would spell out the whole word "because" :p Second of all, Fascists do do democracy. If you look as Mosley's Fascism, it is a brand of Democratic Fascism. Also, Fascism is considered a democratic alternative to liberalism. Fascism is illiberal, not necessary anti-democratic :p

Oh, I get ya. It's just the type with truncheons and 99.8% success in referendums. :P

It's completely accurate because all the people that would disagree are gone. We sent them om vacation before the election lol
Continental Commonwealths, The United Providences Of Perland
On vacation or on "vacation"?
Aldaur
Does it matter? Lol
I've always wondered how voting in US elections would work for expatriates or people on vacation. Where do yoi go for ballot access? Especially since many states don't do mail in ballot or electronic voting.

Humpheria/Sulania Campaign Release
Starting on Monday, this region will make a choice and I will join citizens from all walks of life in casting my vote -- making my choice -- for experienced leadership that will continue to serve our region and its people. I will be voting for the Humpheria/Sulania ticket. I hope you will join me.
It was two months ago that we became an independent and truly prosperous region by becoming a region entirely governed by the people and for the people.
By all measures, we are thriving. We have cultivated and maintained a community for everyone. We are an RP region, we are a chat region, we are a technical region, we are a gameplay region, we are a government region. We are inclusive and open to all walks of life. This is a region that we can all be proud of.
To learn more about our progress, feel free to contact me or any members of YOUR government and we will be happy to be responsive.
Warmest regards,
Humph

An Announcement from the Zelina Public Radio, Zelinas only radio station that your family can trust!
It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that Queen Victoria II has died. She was admitted yesterday due to a minor circulatory problem of the head and was expected to make a full recovery, but unfortunately passed away this morning. Prime Minister Hubik has also announced a referendum to be held in the coming weeks (Probably tomorrow if I feel up to it) on whether or not the Monarchy will be abolished and a Republic established, or if the search for a Monarch will be held.
Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
A lot of states have absentee voting.

In Vermont you can absentee/early vote as early as around mid September, and it continues until election day.
The United Providences Of Perland
Victoria was like 90 man, she needed to die
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
In most states, you can vote early on vote absentee if you will be out of town on election day.

I read this comment and did some Googling, but I cant find a definition of fascism that seems to incorporate democratic action. Can you point me to some reading material about democratic fascism?
Aldaur
Mainly read stuff from Oswald Mosley. But also, the aspects of populism and mass mobilization point to Fascism being a majoritarian form of democracy. But Fascism can really have any government it wants. It can be authoritarian, oligarchic or democratic. The fact is that they are simply all totalitarian, but there is a concept known as totalitarian democracy.
For a specific source, look at Point X on page 8 of Oswald Mosley, Ten Points of Fascist Policy (British Union of Fascists, 1936). It talks about achieving Fascist aims by peaceful, legal and constitutional means with the willing consent of the nation declared at a general election. You'll then just have to look at other books from Fascist literature to get small sense of democratic fascism. But you also have to understand that the system of governance used is heavily dependent on the nation it derives from. For example, if Fascism were to be implemented in the US, it would undoubtedly be a mix of Mosley's democratic fascism and the decentralized aspect of Brazilian integralism. Chinese or Russian Fascism would be far more authoritarian. The reason why authoritarianism is associated with Fascism is because all of the countries it was implemented in had a history for authoritarian rule and makes sense for their culture.
Mdogao
Thank you for your articulate and detailed response. I'm afraid that some of it goes way over my head. Let me read up on "integralism" and I might have more questions!
Aldaur
No problem mate! I don't care if people become Fascist or not, but I want people to at least know the truth about Fascism and what it actually stands for instead of using ot as a political soundbite.
Mdogao
Yet another royal death. What more tragedy must befall the world
Jaslandia
I can't upvote your attitude enough. Peace and progress come from patient dialogue, not soundbytes and oversimplified slogans.

All my other monarchs have died from old age or assassination, so I wanted to spice things up a bit. I also wanted to have an RP that wasn't War.

"Jaslandia is truly saddened to hear of the death of Queen Victoria of Au Minbo. She was a wise and just ruler who will be sorely missed around the world. While we have our own preferences in regards to the referendum, above all else, we support the right of the Minboan people to decide their own government, and we will back whichever option the voters choose in a free and fair referendum. Long live Au Minbo!"
Same goes for Jaslandia's royals. The King is in his late 40s, while the Prince Regent is in his 30s, so barring something unexpected, they'll be around for quite some time.
