Post by Mauricil suppressed by a moderator.
I never said I left the USCS. I never ever thought about leaving and I'd never want to. It was just something said by Kal or someone when I was asleep and sadly y'all believed it and now I guess Unf is kicking me out anyways for no reason so whatever I guess. If Unf doesn't want me in the USCS well then there's nothing I can do about it. I thought I was a good loyal member state but apparently to Unf the word of a non-USCS member state is apparently more reliable in answering a question of who is still in the Union than that of me who was still in the Union. So that totally makes sense.
I love it when false information is spread about me and people answer questions directed towards me for me. It makes me feel really great guys. I just love how y'all like to assume things. I love how I make a major foreign policy change and now suddenly everyone's coming after me for it. It definitely feels great to be the target of everyone. I love it so much. Thanks so much guys for being like this. You certainly haven't been creating anymore stress in my life than I already have by targeting me. I definitely feel like I am still wanted around here and that I am a part of this community and that y'all are my friends.
I mean, it was more people pointing out that CROSS was never said to be cross-compatible with USCS membership (since CROSS had Dictators and slave states and also has those alongside some democratic nations) that clearly kinda contradicts the primary goal of the USCS, so it follows that one can't naturally be in both, or that it would be very strange.
Furthermore, I'm sorry if you think that people have been targeting you, and I can honestly verify that wasnt actually the intention. People are going to poke fun at silly policy changes that go a mile and a half into strange territory, but no one actually meant anything.
Y'know, it wouldn't be so bad if y'all actually would read my many explanations of how I feel like CROSS and the USCS can be compatible and also the political climate of Kumania, instead of using your weird hashtags about my nation's leader. Why should I even bother reading y'all's explanations for y'all's behavior when you won't even bother to listen to my side of the story?
It feels like whenever I try to speak up, I'm immediately shot down and ignored while you guys continue to mock my decision. I've had an extremely stressful week and the last thing I need is more stress added on from my escape from reality. I go onto NationStates to escape the troubles of irl, and it really pisses me off how I can't seem to find escape here. Just leave me alone all of you. Don't talk to me unless you can reverse all the bad that's happened in my life this week (which none of yall can do because obviously none of you guys actually care about me).
Penguania And Antarctica
I'm sorry, but did you miss that half the tags were AlienVsPredator references or just plain silly? I thought it was obvious when I mixed things about NeoMorphs and Daniels and Xenomorph queens into it. As for you being shotdown, people used the near classical "WRONG" from Trump, again, no one had the intent of offending you and I hoped it was evident from their playful demeanour.
Secondly, we did read your explanation, it never settles how Kumania decided to leap into an organization with Dictators when a socialist system is the clear antithesis of a Dictatorship, such that thry should be trying to kill each other constantly. That was our questions and they remained regardless of explanation because it's almost impossible to effectively satisfy the question when Kumania was (and as you just said, is) a loyal socialist.
Lastly (and since you evidently wish for people who meant well and had perhaps the least "mean" content on Discord all week to stop speaking to you for what is at least the time being, it will be the last of what I say) If that is you're honest wish, then fine. If you wish to speak to anyone about what happened, I'm sure everyone will still be here.
Kal, I worry that at times you feel the need to explain and defend yourself to a fault. Kum posted about how his real life is a bit shaky right now, that he feels a little abandoned by his NS community by the events of today, and that he'd like some alone time as a result.
He may be taking things out of context. He may be falsely attributing some or all actions to you. He may not be willing to hear or accept your side of the story right now. I don't actually know because I wasn't involved in these events.
But people can get like that when they're distressed, and for all intents and purposes it seems like Kum has a lot going on in his real life right now that is distressing him.
He also said what he needed from you right now, which was to be left alone. I think the respectful thing is to say that you're willing to discuss it further at a later date if he's willing, but for now you'll give him his space. I think this is a lot more productive than rehashing your previous points from Discord and the RMB, especially when Kum has made it clear that his distress doesn't stem from today's actions but were simply exacerbated by them. Hearing your side of the story at this moment wouldn't logically bring him any peace of mind at the moment.
Penguania And Antarctica
I can agree to this, which is why I said in my last point that if he ever wants to talk about it with anyone, they're there and that it would be my last post on the matter.

Hi, you'll need to tune down some things. The maximum number of men in an army is 1.5M in both Reserves and Active duty.

Tse has a good one to copy number density from, though he goes under the limit.
As for Vehicles, it should fall across the board alongside Aircraft and the like. Aircraft Carriers cannot be at 21.

MAU We both know thats BS and I have screenshots of the rules I agreed to before you edited them 5 minutes ago, just stop trying to change the OOC rules behind everyones back lol
Latrovia, Friedensreich, Kalaron
Post by Mauricil suppressed by a moderator.
Plus IC laws demand it:
"Section 3
The socialist ideal of justice shall be held as secondary to the ideal of populism. Interpreting the dissemination of socialist ideals to be the epitome of the administration of justice and the ultimate demonstration of ideological unity, the government of Friedensreich shall endorse any and all movements, groups, and parties that hold the socialist ideals detailed above [Tolerance, Liberty, Populism, Equity, Justice], unless directed to otherwise by the People."
You're definitely not a run of the mill socialist, but you come close. You're socially libertarian and have shown a governmental interest in increasing economic equity and justice.
Also, temporary membership in Concord until the war is over mayhaps?
What are the beliefs of the rebellion force? I'm interested.

Its true. We do love our RP.

If Andy agreed to a specific set of Rules, you cannot back-track on them without his express permission. Certainly, if he doesn't agree to these rules, you cannot fault him for not RPing with you.
It's honestly true, though this mess should blowover soon enough.

Maurician I agreed to the original rules and the original rules alone. That is my final statement so unless you get me to agree to the new ones then I can always just resuspend the entire RP and make everyone who wants to play wait that much longer.
I don't care how much it was "implied" nor do I care how powerful you think you are What I do know however is that you don't understand the difference between complaining IC and complaining OOC but whatever I agreed to the fine print which I will happily post below along with the other screenshot of our private conversation because transparency is key in affairs such as this. I agreed to the fine print, and now that that print isn't there, I have no obligation to heed any of the Texan War Posts and as far as I'm concerned there is no Texan War. Until the agreed rules have been reimplemented that is.

You fellas are shaming yourselves by doing these unethical actions. If you can't stand one another and if you don't agree with one another just drop the RP and that will be fine. There is no need to RP with one another if you can't have fun.
This turned from a fun RP to clear hatred among you two that now spreads to a larger number of people. For everyone's sake and especially yours - agree to disagree - and just drop the thread.

He's changing rules now because he knows his arse is going to get kicked now that Yuk and I are siding against him, and once we arrive, he's going to be flanked and outnumbered. That said, he definitely does not know my plans, so he can claim to know as to what is going on all he wants.
