Actually, they're all remembering different, but almost always mutually correct events.

Geez, you don't even remember Unf and Silver?

Maybe you are new 'round these parts

Tell me more about those old fellas, 'cause maybe I can jog your memory about CI?

The Wyrenian Republic wrote:No, they don't.... I'm not the only one that misremembered it.

I didn't misremember anything, I simply stated that fighting over the founder account was more between Unf and Silver, CI and Silver took place at the clear beginning of the CFN. And when I said "NGA Exodus" I meant the exodus to the NGA.

I didn't come back to discuss the past. I came back to check in on everyone. When I saw what a sad state of affairs this community is in, I decided to speak out.

Ah yes, policing the RMB about someone innocently talking is an excellent way to speak out.

Frankly, I wonder if you haven't been out for too long to know anything of substance.

You say a lot of topics, but have been incorrect about the details.

So I repeat, maybe you don't even know the difference between CI and Everest, hell, maybe you don't even know who Silver is.

You can repeat yourself as long as you'd like. It's not going to change who I am. And it's not going to change the future of the Confederacy. The only thing that can save it now is voting Humph and his cronies out of office.

You've been on the Discord enough with your little accounts, so I wonder if you aren't just being deliberately obtrusive to finding out if you really know the past or the people you say you do.

Mhm, I'm sure, you make it a chase to find out who you are, and never check up on anyone who might be interested.

Somehow, I doubt it.

I'm trying to convince Ludania to take Denmark under the pretense that your socialist revolution drove out the Ludanians to another land they owned (Denmark). However, I have yet to get a response.

Nah... I said that if you wanted to know, something I said should have been a clue. I never said I left it intentionally as a clue.

Anyways, you are confusing my refusal to give you details about my past experiences with an inability to give them. The simple truth is that I don't like you, don't care what you think, and have nothing to prove to you.

If the troll must know, since he doesn't seem very interested in the truth, I made the decision at the request of a Supreme Court Justice under the impression that he was speaking on behalf of the Court. When it became clear that that was not the case, the order was rescinded at the request of the Court. The post was deleted to avoid confusion when the election began at the requisite time.

Now, I'm sure that you will continue to spout misguided and half-baked theories about corruption and incompetence from your little fake account to influence the election but it won't work. The good people of this region see past your cowardly act. Whether I win or lose the election it will be in my record, which I embrace. There is nothing you can do to change it, but I know you have to feel like you're moving and shaking.

Once again, we must wonder. Who would this "well-liked" individual be within our community that cares so much about it, but only cares so much to try to destroy it with a mask on. If you really want anyone to take you seriously, why don't you say it with your real nation. You can criticize me all you want, that is what this region is all about. I have defended you from calls to eject you from the region so that you can continue to criticize me, on principle. I am an open book, you, however hide behind this fake nation and think your speaking out to these crowds. In reality my dear friend, you are speaking only to the backs of our region's good citizens as they go to work on actually improving the region.

Hey everyone, just gonna say, I encourage everyone to vote for Humph.

While Lat is a good person, and a personal friend of mine, I see Humph as being the better choice, personally.

Yukona wrote:The fact you can see who voted for who is a bit of a teeth dryer, this certainly needs to be affixed sooner than later through that privacy bill.

Yup.

Is basically why I support it.

Jaslandia, Humpheria Major, Yukona

While I am a good person and a personal friend of some, I would encourage everyone to vote as they like.

The fact is that we can not tarry any longer with the same unchanged policies and the same old-known political figures of our region. We can not stand behind while everyone else is doing better than us. We have the potential, we have the will, we have the capabilities ... so why not move forward?

Democracy and law can not be forced by the few upon the majority. It is the citizens duty to partake an important role in our current and future politics.

I personally want to thank again the people who support me and want to see changes happening around here. In case I win I promise that beautiful things will be happening in both external and internal levels.

I don't dream a big government, but I dream an organised government that will and must represent our people's interests for the best.

Yours truly,

Harry Tsoukla Jr.

Where else would one advertise a candidate? Where else can a voter express that they are voting one way or another. In my opinion, consider this our collective front lawn in which anybody can stick as big of a sign they want. In all honesty, it's not putting pressure on you and ultimately it can lead you to investigate candidates and see their policies.

Thank you for your response to my statement. Perhaps this is my upbringing speaking, but I don't believe candidates should be "advertised." I think the candidates should speak for themselves about their values and priorities, and then people decide.

For a moment, the asterisks made me think that the first transatlantic radio signal was the word 'sh*t'. Come to think of it, that wouldn't have been too bad of a first signal. Better than "Mr. Watson - Come here - I want to see you" or "What hath God wrought" (which were the first words transmitted by telephone and telegraph respectively).

I haven't seen a lot of Hanks, but I think he may be one of my favorites, if not my #1 favorite, actor. I think my favorite performance of his was when he played Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks.

So... advertise?

You put such a negative connotation to the word "advertise", but that is the life of politics and running for office

I would consider advertising as simply publishing name or vague promises like "for a brighter tomorrow." Making a statement of principles or actual plans is something more substantial than advertising. In my eyes, one is helpful to the voters and the other isn't. I understand that some might characterize this as splitting hairs, though. If you do, I respect your opinion.

Also, I'm obviously don't know where in the world you are, but I assure you that politics and running for office is not the same everywhere. Where I live, political campaigns are very mellow and restrained.
