Yukona wrote:Just a quick one for all the people sh*tting on discord - it's not some kind of elite club that dumps loads on everyone's doorsteps. People have conversations about anything and everything, if it happens to be on a certain person - they can do that, you can't stop them. If it doesn't happen there, it happens in Skype, it really makes no difference. Ultimately, it's a wing of NS that many users including myself use to communicate with friends, and we enjoy that communication. Don't paint everyone with the same brush and throw out ridiculous accusations when you disagree with one thing/one person. We go from talking about space to having full on raged-fueled debates, it's just the nature of an online community.

There's loads of different residents on there, not everyone agrees and not everyone gets along, but it's a community after all.

If you want to be involved in this 'elite club', there's a secret way of getting in: click on the link and get an account ya morons. It ain't that hard and I'm sure people bored the f*ck out of their skulls like myself will talk to you.

Seriously, no offence, but don't use the Discord as some kind of scape goat - if you don't have it, you may not be as up to date on regional affairs but that's your own problem. It's just like complaining that you have to read the RMB to be up to date on what's happening. Like, yeah, well done?

Sorry my friends, gotta put it out there.

You have completely missed the point. We are not complaining that Discord exists. We are complaining that when certain people debate on the RMB, they insist "no ad hominem attacks" and frequently critique how others communicate. But, when those same people are on the RMB, they abandon the pretense of dignity and attack the RMB-posters' character when they aren't there to respond. They debate you on the RMB, as if you are an equal, but call you a troll or alt on the Discord and invalidate you entirely. That kind of behavior is two-faced and degrading. You, I believe, called me a "plebian" (as charmingly quaint as the term is) and a puppeteer because I advocated for reforming citizenship requirements.

In short, the "private club" we are criticizing isn't the Discord. It's the group of people that act high-and-mighty on the RMB but grimy and mean on the Discord. It's hypocritical and immature.

Frankly, Yuk actually put it best.

There are arguments, but these are wholly separate to the RMB and are quick to die off afterwards. These "RMB-Posters" as you call them, namely the nations that have no WA, come in and are silent for numerous days only to all become active within the same time frame and comment as one are thus massively more likely to be puppets, and frankly the fact that all focus their comments on the Discord and upon me are also spots of suspicion. I apologize if this hurts your feelings but I've realized by now that I can only offer my condolences.

Should anyone care to check the Discord, I trust in their ability to witness the actual comments and gather their own beliefs rather than blindly trusting your narrative.

Now, about my "Retirement"...

I fully considered it -still am really- but I've decided that my personal feelings, melancholy or not, must come second to keeping the truth out and in the open.

I'll certainly be less active, but I ain't leaving NS and I ain't being pushed out of the RMB by some Valt-1.

What are you talking about? This doesn't address our complaint at all.

Our complaint can be summed up as "Some people say one thing on the RMB and another on the Discord. It's annoying and hypocritical." What is your response to our actual complaint?

Also, I have no idea what you mean by "vault-1." you seem to have a problem assuming that people know what you mean.

Finally, Khitoum really called it about you and the word "ain't." You really do use it a lot.

Indeed they do. I often use Politifact and Snopes.com for fact-checking stuff.

Simple, I would wager that no one happens to be giving attacks when they list what they think of you lot.

An ad hominem attack has to happen during the debate, meanwhile all of the people who happen to have noted the likely puppetry of some of the aforementioned nations have actually simply been noting how they feel after the debate has come and gone.

As for debates that happen solely on the Discord and -again- die out quickly...well, Yuk already covered that.

Sometimes people get angry, and as anyone would understand, instant messaging is far more conductive to anger than delayed messaging like the RMB.

Nah on the Valt-1, I don't feel like explaining it to you, and it was more of a joke for the older crowd.

As I responded, people don't attack your character, they instead simply list how they feel about you and what they believe [B]after[/B] they finish their debate with you, that isn't an attack, it's honesty on their feelings. Again, I offer my condolences, but I'm afraid I have responded to your point as fully as I can, and in the absence of an actual explanation of your point -seeing as your quotes wholly agree with the thought that I did actually answer what you said- I can only state that we must disagree.

North Korea: An insane and tyrannical threat, but at the moment, not a huge threat to the outside world. However, if North Korea continues on its path toward developing ICBMs and other powerful nukes, than North Korea would certainly become a threat, and more serious action would be required from the rest of the world (preferably including China).

Free trade: I generally prefer free trade over protectionism, but I'll also admit I'm not deeply knowledgeable on trade policy.

Preferred video game genres: I usually play grand strategy games like Civilization and Total War, but I'll also play other strategy-type games, simulators, and puzzle games.

Bonus: I'd go with Angela Merkel of Germany. I feel she'd be strong and capable enough to get stuff done on a deserted island, and help organize stuff like collecting food and building shelter. Obama would be my second-choice, because I think he'd be a cool guy to be around who could help pass the time.

I'll have ravioli and lemonade!

North Korea was an epic meme four years ago. And now it's possibly America's next target for war. So that's a real bummer. Like sure truthfully outside of dank memes I would like to see the Kims deposed and Korea reunited but war is also lame because a lot of times good innocent people die.

As a white working class person who supported Bernie, I'm sure you could already assume how I feel about free trade. There is some benefits, but there's also been a ton of harm from it. I just wish there wasn't so many people still living in the Rust Belt. Perhaps we could still have disastrous free trade policies without those white people up there throwing a hissy fit and giving us a guy like Trump as our President. Do I blame the Rust Belt or do I blame free trade deals that benefit rich corporations or do I blame the fact that higher education is expensive af and perhaps our country really does need more people working in careers that require college degrees than the factories. Like it is indeed 2017, not 1877. The industrial revolution is long passed.

I don't rly play video games much so I guess I don't really have a preference ://

Or I haven't? People shat on Discord and I put my thoughts out there, I wasn't directly addressing you, was I? If people want to complain about you, why can't they do it on the Discord? You could do it, and as I said - it'd only happen on some private skype or something that would be private, if it wasn't on Discord. People have the right to discuss regional affairs in the regional Discord, what exactly do you expect? Whereas they're having a civil debate on the RMB, why can't they voice their honest opinions in the Discord? If I called you a plebian, probably a plebkid, not a plebian, it was most likely not serious - but I'm not exactly going to apologise. I'm allowed to talk to my friends about things I think, sorry bud. I don't want to sh*t on you either, but unless you're stalking the Discord or getting your info off someone it's not exactly as if I am conspiring against you or something. I just see something, go hey - that guys stupid (not in your context) and move on. I never even got involved in the citizenship debate, neither have I talked to you before - so it isn't exactly two faced, but I'm not gonna argue that.

You talk of this private club which now hasn't become a private club of Discord but has instead become a group of people, which is private how? They voice their thoughts as does everyone else and people may agree or disagree on it. Come on Discord and blast ass if you really feel it, it's the way she goes. If you think an idea is dumb, you call it out on the RMB - I would do too, but I have Discord, so I use the Discord, mainly because it acts as an immediate communication with my closest friends in the region.

As I said, if it doesn't happen there, it happens somewhere else where no one can see. It's not like there's a private room where people go "yeah Oz, yeah f*ck that guy he wants a citizenship reform", people just go "that reform's ret*rded" - if they think that (I don't know or really want to know the details of your argument for that). See what I mean? Just because people disagree with you and happen to not like you (which I'd just like to clarify is hypothetical, as I don't really know you) doesn't mean you have to shut it down, if it's so important just get on there and make friends with them. It's just the same as the RMB but quicker, not too difficult. People will be friendly and talk to you like a normal person.

Ravioli and lemonade please.

North Korea: Also known as Bad Korea, I have a North Korean banknote :)

And it's the only necrocracy in the world: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/necrocracy

Free Trade: I think it's good but I also think it's necessary that countries with free trade agreement between each other must have similar consumer rights and business law. Otherwise it can lead to problems if there are legal disputes between consumer and company, between two companies or between a company and the state.

Video games genres: Strategy games and simulation games. But sometimes I also play action games or RPGs.

SNACKS: BEEF JERKY, RAVIOLI, AND CARROTS (I want them all)

DRINKS: I want grandma's lemonade

NORTH KOREA: I find it fascinating how people believe great lies coming from the mouth of their dictators. I often compare the North Korea with the Communist Albania where people were heavily influenced by the Albanian propaganda of the time. People used to believe that only Albania is worthy and that everyone around the world wanted to destroy the country. My parents were born in the Albanian communism and now that they have tasted democracy they want nothing of their past. I guess something similar will happen sometime in N.Korea as well.

FREE TRADE: Hm today's globalization has destroyed a lot of economies and many took great advantage of Capitalism. Enterprises, Companies, Governments (You name it) have often won or lose from what we call free trade. To me personally the words "Free Trade" are hypocritical at least. There's no freedom or equality in the markets when your country for example, buys foreign products but has little chance of selling domestic ones.

PREFERRED VIDEO GAME GENRES: I prefer first person shooters, MMO and MMORPG

Weren't AEK-971 used during the Soviet era? I think military technology has advanced since then?

You could do it, and as I said - it'd only happen on some private skype or something that would be private, if it wasn't on Discord. People have the right to discuss regional affairs in the regional Discord, what exactly do you expect? Whereas they're having a civil debate on the RMB, why can't they voice their honest opinions in the Discord? If I called you a plebian, probably a plebkid, not a plebian, it was most likely not serious - but I'm not exactly going to apologise. I'm allowed to talk to my friends about things I think, sorry bud. I don't want to sh*t on you either, but unless you're stalking the Discord or getting your info off someone it's not exactly as if I am conspiring against you or something. I just see something, go hey - that guys stupid (not in your context) and move on. I never even got involved in the citizenship debate, neither have I talked to you before - so it isn't exactly two faced, but I'm not gonna argue that.

You talk of this private club which now hasn't become a private club of Discord but has instead become a group of people, which is private how? They voice their thoughts as does everyone else and people may agree or disagree on it. Come on Discord and blast ass if you really feel it, it's the way she goes. If you think an idea is dumb, you call it out on the RMB - I would do too, but I have Discord, so I use the Discord, mainly because it acts as an immediate communication with my closest friends in the region.

As I said, if it doesn't happen there, it happens somewhere else where no one can see. It's not like there's a private room where people go "yeah Oz, yeah f*ck that guy he wants a citizenship reform", people just go "that reform's ret*rded" - if they think that (I don't know or really want to know the details of your argument for that). See what I mean? Just because people disagree with you and happen to not like you (which I'd just like to clarify is hypothetical, as I don't really know you) doesn't mean you have to shut it down, if it's so important just get on there and make friends with them. It's just the same as the RMB but quicker, not too difficult. People will be friendly and talk to you like a normal person.

My goodness. Yes, you have missed the point. Have you even read my posts?

No one shat on discord. You misread our posts.

Our problem is how some people use the RMB ti pretend like everyone is welcome here, and say nasty things about you on the Discord.

It's about how some people insist no ad hominems on the RMB, but don't hold them self to that standard on the discord.

It's about how they pretend to want to have a valid, respectful debate on the RMB, but post on the discord that you are a troll or an alt and should just leave.

We don't care about your freedom to speak your mind, we are just bothered about how hypocritical some people are. Those people can either choose to grow or ignore us. But we never said the problem was the discord itself. It's the hypocrisy it hosts.

Guys, I think it's about time we did something that we should have done for a long while.

I hope last night made something clear, these posters, whether you wish to refer to them as trolls or not, have the simple aim of being offended or offending.

It's time we simply ignored them because, like a towel, it's impossible to properly combat their points.

They make a post deriding the Discord for using Ad-hominem attacks?

As last night showed, that simply wasn't their point.

Want to just stop talking?

It's time for them to act incredulous.

These people, in my belief, simply are trolls, and it's perhaps the best defense to ignore them for long while.

I understand that they'll make plenty of posts about how "Oh my god Kalaron is such a arrogant prick" but I believe firmly that anyone of knowledge in this region will understand and accept the likelyhood that three trusted members with WA are more likely to be honest than a few nations that all become active at once -yesterday showed that too- to post only comments about the Discord.

I'm not arguing that they won't ever have a valid point, just that they make a game out of attempting to infuriate others and we simply cannot play it anymore without showing needless arguments on the RMB -TY to Tim for giving me the words to explain this- and damaging the regional rep.

While the vehicles and other assorted technologies have advanced, one would be surprised at how little rifle tech has advanced since the seventies. The internals of an AK for example have rarely changed.

On the AEK:

It's closed-bolt which makes it more accurate than an open-bolt, it seems to already have polymer furniture though we could replace it with a more modern version that will be lighter, more durable, and potentially cheaper.

The BARS -my real object of interest- would be imperative for fully automatic fire with a 6.5mm projectile.

If you wish, I could develop a LMG in the style of the HAMR.

It's furniture can be modded to adapt more recent technologies being developed, such as high-density plastics. And 3d printing allows us to develop unique geometric structures to handled the stress of a high fire-rate and kickback. We can also shift onto some more "techie" stuff with digitized armaments (essentially the weapon only fires when a "key" is worn, such as a ring or watch, on the firing arm/hand).

But hey, if its in the realm of possibility, and you build it, consider Andromitus a buyer.

While graphene is getting cheaper by the day, and 3D-printing is making it easier to produce, no form of graphene enhanced body armors have been developed by any military for the general reason that widespread use of the substance is economically impossible at its current stage

mind you that graphene is as thick as an atom, and at $100 per gram, that's a lot of graphene. And according to Graphenea, not only is graphene extraordinarily strong, it is also very light at 0.77 milligrams per square metre (for comparison purposes, 1 square metre of paper is roughly 1000 times heavier). It is often said that a single sheet of graphene (being only 1 atom thick), sufficient in size enough to cover a whole football field, would weigh under 1 single gram.

And according to Graphenea, not only is graphene extraordinarily strong, it is also very light at 0.77 milligrams per square metre (for comparison purposes, 1 square metre of paper is roughly 1000 times heavier).

meaning i could by a football field's worth of graphene under 100 bucks.

It wouldn't matter.

You won't be equipping them solely with Graphene due to the need for a backplate.

If it happens to rip or tear at any point -which is fully possible- then you need something like a kevlar backplate or preferably a full interceptor set to ensure true protection.

You'll need to pack graphene and pray that it won't kill your men if you want to go it alone with that.

I would happily accept making the XM25, though the intergration of caseless propellant might be needed to reduce the weight to a semi-bearable level.

The "Dread" is something I don't believe any government would truly want.

Trust me, im not.

Also, can you build some smart bombs for me, you know, the type that can alter their fall for better accuracy?

Yeah, sure.

It'll be a while though since I gotta write up the KA-25E (Working title of the XM25 here) and that AEK.

I can wait.

Hang on, I just realized something.

You still using HP rounds?

Umm, yeah, mostly.

I ain't selling to a nation that uses HP.

Bullets designed to expand when hitting a target, mostly to increase collateral damage while decreasing penetration. It works well when hunting or against someone without body armor, but it doesn't do as well with armor, I.E. every nation if at war with CaDS
