Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Ok so what is going on has Ru gone insane?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
That is indeed what happened. Ru power tripped. This was something that a lot of us knew was coming, some of us tried to handle it with diplomacy, however this region was made in semi-secret just in case, and it turns out it was a good thing. Because he chose yesterday to the be the day. He banned a bunch of us from the discord. I immediately posted I was seceding on the RMB, and moved here. Moments later Ruclax started to ban a whole bunch of people, me included, but I had already left, and at that moment everyone else sort of followed. Because who wants to be in a region with a guy who is going to do things like that?

But of course, old friend. Anyway, Montaris didn't have CFN as initials. Doomed to fail.

I am now the WA Delegate...I have authoratah.
Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Respect your authoratah?
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Would Ru ever be forgiven? I mean, clearly he simply just wants to rework the region and got angry, but did it the wrong way?
Killdash, Lavan Tiri, Ifrenbull, Penguania And Antarctica
Just to expand on that, what I'm saying is I don't think it was malicious. What I do disagree with however is suppressing the RMB, that's just ridiculous.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I mean, he kicked everyone and made it perfectly clear on the Blue wolf tavarn that he was above law, while also breaking his promise to work with us and not use founder power (He kicked Merc rather than Block him, and threatened to kick someone without a court trial)
Furthermore, he has just made a dispatch calling us "Cruel" and "Hateful"
So...if your asking me?
I ain't forgiving him, and he shouldn't bw allowed go come here.
Lavan Tiri, Ifrenbull, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
From the perspective of someone new it doesn't seem that bad. Then you learn that this is the second time he has done this even after getting a metric tonne of sh!t last time he did it and pretty much losing all credibility for like 6 months.
If a guy doesn't change after that, he never will.

This is the dispatch he made, by the way.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
And also, he banjected ContComm after CC took WAD last night.
Obviously he's gone insane; CC hasn't been online in 8 days. He knows nothing of the whole situation. He's only WAD because Oel and all left.
I don't think Ru should be forgiven, especially if he's banning people who literally have done nothing.
Lavan Tiri, Ifrenbull, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, New Oelesa, Yukona
Just out of interest, how many times has this happened to you guys before?

As far as I know, the first time with Ru was somewhere in the later days of the CFN (we didn't leave), then with the Silver Bloods (held the CFN founder account), then our leave from the NGA in part due to issues with Valturus (chancellor of the NGA). There are some who may know more than me, however, since the NGA-CFN group had been around before I first showed up.

Welcome my friend Republic Of Libertara, glad to have you!
Lavan Tiri, Republic Of Libertara, Penguania And Antarctica, New Oelesa, Yukona
In the original CFN, conflicts with the Silver Bloods, who held the founder account but became inactive prompted the move. Unfallious was elected to be the new founder, but we were forced to move after negotiations turned sour.
In the new region, the NGA, conflicts with other members prompted some more major members to leave, leading to a top-down abandonment of the region. Unfallious chose neutrality and kept a low profile for some time.
Following our path, we moved to another region, called Montaris. This was run by Ruclax, who was a major member of the CFN and NGA. As of last night, Ruclax has gone insane, and as such we have moved here.
Lavan Tiri, Ifrenbull, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Yukona
Hey, Unfallious! Long time no see, pal?
Lavan Tiri, Ifrenbull, Penguania And Antarctica
hey Killdash, how's it going?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Pretty good, pretty good. I'm thinking I might get involved in some of the regional politics, this time around.
Lavan Tiri, Ifrenbull, Penguania And Antarctica
Oh, i see.
Well, on the bright side, each time you move the chance you get a dictator decreases.
Lavan Tiri, Ifrenbull, Penguania And Antarctica
Oh, for fvck sakes...

Is that true?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Well if you ban the troublemaker each time you move like you've done with this Ru then the number of dictators or potential dictators must decrease?
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Endorse me, my lovelies and I will endorse you back.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Synargle
But we also are semi-obligated to forgive from time to time, with conditions.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I would give you thousands of endorsements if I could. But unfortunately I only can give you one. :(

Aww, you sweetie. Ditto.

I cant decide if you based that from Trump, Hillary, May or the EU....
I highly doubt that. This was his second chance to prove himself, and he failed

Westminster paedophilia, expense scandals, House of Lords cronyism, lobbying, party funding by corporate giants and mega rich individuals, people in power come from the same families and schools. The UK has form on corruption.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Thats true, although its the same problem all over Europe and the west, the money grabbing cancer of greed and ignorance.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I want out of this damned Union. The British one, not the European one. England is going down the sh!tter and I'd rather they not drag Scotland down with it.
Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Both unions are down the sh!tter, the only way scotland wouldn't go down with it is if you can sail yourselves somewhere else. Leaking the UK would give you some time but the Eu is doomed, i hope to leave as soon as i can get the means.
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I do not think the EU is doomed. I think the EU is the future. I'd rather be with them than with the UK.
Penguania And Antarctica
Our very first move was from the original NGA to the CFN. In a nutshell, a well-respected statesman named Controlled Interests convinced us we needed a new region, so we founded the CFN. However, right as we were moving, Silver discovered the move was really a plot by CI to gain power (the CFN Founder account would be shared between Silver and CI, but CI planned to change the password to lock Silver out). Silver foiled the plot, and since the move was already in progress, we decided to stay in the CFN with Silver as Founder.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Pirate Kingdoms
I'd rather be out of both.
Im in support of a European state but the way the EU has gone about it with its corruption, lies and secrets, its makes me lose hope.
Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
If only the you from 6 months ago could hear the you right now
Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
The EU is the lesser of two evils. But if Scotland does get another referendum, we'll be going into it with our eyes wide open. Yes means EU membership, No means staying with the UK outside the EU. Time for Scots to pick their favourite union. I know which one I am picking.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Hindsight is 20/20. I'm always ashamed to say I voted to leave, especially because I live in Scotland where everybody and their dog voted to remain. Whenever I mention I voted leave, I feel like the odd one out, the stupid one. But that's something I need to deal with.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
I wish i lived in country with some pride about it, England is so meh.
England is seriously f*cked. The only way to fix it and the UK is drastic reform at Westminster. But that will never happen.
its a shame really, Europe could be so great if it wasnt so... idk, slow? stubborn? it just seams all over europe everyone seems to make the opposite of a good choice, y'know?
It's the pitfalls of democracy. The UK and the EU both need reform. I dunno, man. It's very frustrating. I just hope to God Scotland votes Yes next time around. If it doesn't, I will seriously resent my own country for a very, very long time.
Stage a coup d'etat or something. 'The Scottish Revolution', for all I care. Down with Britannia, Hip hip hooray and all that jazz. xD
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
Democracy only works if everyone is informed, unfortunately there are a lot of idiots and the Government seems to be to preoccupied with cuts, weapons and foreigners to help its own struggling people.
Nuremgard
Let Sturgeon take over. She'll sort it. She's a decent person and a good leader.
To be fair though, it is a Conservative government. They're not exactly known for being huge fans of the "struggling people."
I just want a government that looks after all its people, is that really too much to ask for?
Nuremgard
Unless you want a Communistic government, Then yes.
In Britain, yes, that is really too much to ask.
I dont think i would go that far, just something along the Danish lines really.
communist governments don't look after the people because there is no state in a communist society.
Penguania And Antarctica
The Nordic model is the ideal but the UK is too individualistic a culture to go for it.
Penguania And Antarctica
I might move to Ireland tbh.
very, "i say what i like and i like what i say"
Canada is nice this time of year. Not too much snow.
Abso-frackin'-loutely.
Penguania And Antarctica
Plenty are planning on that.
This is why I want out. England keeps voting the Tories in. I'm sick of it.
Lol, ive looked, Cannada is really freaking hard to get into, i was thinking Ireland, because it's close and still english speaking but also Israel because i have family there and it's fairly cheap.
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
Or maybe Australia. Gorgeous weather, gorgeous country and gorgeous people.
Lavan Tiri, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica
So true, its just so far away from home :/
Lavan Tiri, Penguania And Antarctica
You're like me. I might hate my country if it votes No again but I want to stay. Family, friends and familiarity take precedence over politics.
Tserra
To be honest i dont really have any attachment to the UK, on my mums side her family were Irish wool merchants who came over in the 20's and on my dad's side they were refugees from Warsaw.
Penguania And Antarctica
A shame that the referendum decision is driving people away but people have the right to go wherever they want. Hardcore unionist Scots have whined that they will leave for England's green and pleasant land if Scotland has the audacity to rule itself again. It appears they only like their country when it's being governed by the bigger one next door. Really bizarre and creepy mindset.
Not being funny but isnt that a good thing? if they like England so much, go them, no biggie.
Yup. I don't want cringers like that in my country.

For Christ's sake, why do we have to go through this again? Can I just be supreme leader now? Democracy has failed us.

Having a supreme leader is why we left.

Correction: Democracy gave way for an illegal usurpation of power; triggering another mass exodus.
With me ruling with an iron fist, I think I can get everything under control.
