Yesterday, a newcomer to this region noticed that not everyone had to follow the same rules he did, and suggested maybe everyone should be held to the same standard.
The senior members of this region reacted like he suggested they sacrifice their firstborn to Moloch. I am ashamed and disgusted by the comments that the "elders" of this region made.
Humpheria, this is a giant pile of self-serving, faux-intellectual cow dung. If you think any of the points you make in this statement are a logical, valid response to Merc's statement, you should be ashamed of yourself. I sincerely hope you do not have any RL responsibilities that require basic reasoning abilities.
No, it wasn't. Merc didn't make any claims about the legal situation. He just suggested implementing an apology by any means and Humpheria launched an impassioned defense of cronyism using a completely off-topic argument. I'm embarrassed that you think this is coherent.
"Because this is the way we do things." This is the worst justification for anything, ever.
This region has showed its disdain for newcomers with ideas: they need to be quiet and fall in line. I cannot accept the legitimacy and values of a community who treats good faith suggestions this way.
I resign from my office effective immediately. I renounce my citizenship effective immediately.
I'm going to react honestly.
I ain't sad to see you go. You legitimately acted like a public servent should have to be threatened with removal before compromise could be considered, and I feel no sadness at all in seeing you leave the Region.
I detest your points on the others of the region too, because they carry a special brand of hypocrisy. He made points criticising a system and others criticised his replacement only to be shamed by you for doing so.
If you should ever think to return to the region, I'll be happy to see you again, but as it stands I myself see little to no fault in their actions.
Yukona, Magnatronia
agree completely. this region is not a welcoming place.
didnt modoga refuse to acknowledge your existence because of how stupid he thought you were? y do you keep responding to his posts? its sad
I can't decide which one of these is my favorite! The first two are ridiculously zany and I'm wondering who decided we need a day for extraterrestrial culture? What do we even know about extraterrestrial culture that we could possibly celebrate on this holiday?!
The second two made me laugh because of course the day of love is also condom awareness day. Have a great day but don't forget to stay safe, my dudes.
The next two are sad but of course, not everyone is in a romantic relationship right now. Except honestly, I think Valentine's Day is also a time to celebrate the love between friends and family members, so it's not meant to be shameful for people who aren't in a relationship!
The last one just about killed me. Imagine having a congenital heart defect and then every February 14th it's your day to raise awareness for your condition but then you see hearts drawn everywhere and people passing heart cards out and there are heart balloons and candies in every store you go to. I don't have the words to express how hellish that must be for people who already have an awful condition but also it's hilariously, cruelly ironic.
Overall though thanks again Peng for keeping us informed!
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
No problem. That's just my duty. :)
Merlinton, Jaslandia, Magnatronia, Percyton
because he has to have the last word. he literally cannot help himself. i told him i was ignoring him too and he just would not stop.
the leading members of this region have shown their true colours. the willfull ignorance and egotism here are astounding, and so are the shallow justifications used to defend the discrimination against newer members. so many people here think they are experts on law and debate but clearly dont know anything about those topics.
its literally too depressing to stay here
The Mercantile League
At no point in history has truth been found by calling someone stupid, at no point has someone been proven correct by simply ignoring criticism.
I'm sorry that you feel this region is unwelcoming, but I disagree wholeheartedly, and I figure so will most of the others who've immigrated here and not...you know...immediately insulted people?
Can we make a holiday for Peng?
I'd even tranfer my medal to him
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia, Percyton
Good morning-ish everyone! How is life?
Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
Me is doing good. How is you ?
Jaslandia, Humpheria Major
Same. There's some very nice people here, but there's also some very vocal people with poor integrity and even worse competence. I just don't have to stamina to fight their sophistry.
Oelesa
I am no longer a citizen of this place. Please remove my nations from the roll.
Oelesa
I'm good, tired though.
I'm well I slept really well last night which is sorta rare so I feel more rested than normal.
Penguania And Antarctica
Glad to hear it buddy.
Hey bud, I'm just looking to keep people from getting [I][B]Railroaded[/B][/I]
The region, as far as I can remember, may pass RP laws.
However, there is no central dispensary for particularly things like UN grants.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Why did Mdogao eject and ban himself?
Penguania And Antarctica
Good to hear that.
What does that mean ? If it is inadequate for the RMB feel free to send me a TG or Discord PM. I really await your answer.
He didn't like the way newcomers are treated within the region. He believed that their ideas and suggestions were deliberately being stifled in favour of maintaining the status quo/the ideas of the older generation. In many ways, he wasn't wrong.
Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland
Fair enough.
Was a pun about sex.
Jaslandia
I didn't even know that was possible lol.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Doesn't that make Modoga the sad one? Our own MoJ ignoring a citizen because of "how stupid you were".
To everyone, I think today's rather insignificant events in the view of things are kind of a telling tale. To the whole debacle I would quote Shakespeare (as I often do), "whos more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?" By no means am I saying that either party involved (be it Kal or the people I sadly see leaving) are fools, but the quote immediately sprang to mind when I saw what went on. As an often un-involved and relatively quiet (in terms of the actual political process) citizen, all I can say is that Kal obviously isn't trolling and simply had a different opinion to the people who came here. Said people came here and immediately started arguing with Kal and simply got angry when he didn't listen to them and kept going, then claim it is his fault for corrupting the region and how he - and the region - have "disdain for newcomers"? Ridiculous. I didn't start debating with people here until I knew how the land lied and who was who because I had common sense. If they did want to argue, which is evident without me saying, they can't blame people for reacting equally and putting it down to some kind of heirarchy of elites who want to keep the region solely comprised of these 'oldtimers'. If we keep the region locked down like that, it's going to die, so that's an absolutely un-based assumption. Coming from Mdogao himself it makes it even more ironic, considering when he arrived everyone was glad to meet him, sung his praises and in fact he was elected MoJ shortly after. So do tell, why in such a corrupted region did he manage to pull that off? And then he banjects himself and resigns from a post he hardly committed to (regardless of the RL context). I have no problem with the guy or what has happened to him - as unfortunate as it is - but you can't go pulling stuff like this out of nowhere and expect people not to question your own legitimacy.
Overall, I am disappointed that because some vocal members of the region disagree with you (I am addressing those who left), that you take that as the entire region and subsequently leave. All I can say is that actions speaks louder than words, and the departures speak for themselves. If they took the time to integrate, or acknowledged that - in their own words - the region has "some very nice people" (more than some, may I say), then they'd know not to just jump ship when they get in an argument that they themselves started and can't handle someone opposing.
Granted, Kal is sometimes very vocal, but he has just a right to put his opinion out there as much as the very people who argued with him did (and still do). Obviously this post could be considered uncalled for, preaching to an abyss, going over old ground - but when I saw this at work, I just felt I needed to put out my thoughts.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Vista Major, Oelesa, Kalaron, The United Providences Of Perland, Magnatronia
Just stopping by to say that I'm renouncing my citizenship to this region- thought that was obvious when I left. Was alerted of some classic CFN-style shenanigans and I shook my head in what should have been disbelief as I read yesterday's exchanges, but that is entirely the self-aggrandizing bull I've come to expect from some members of this community.
Treating criticism of a system that even the Chief Justice says isn't fair- although he elaborated that it isn't supposed to be fair- as a personal attack against this region is baffling. If a number of members get up and leave because of yesterday's affair, that should be an indication that this region should be more accepting of criticism and more willing to engage in some self reflection. But if the former former Chief Justice, author of the Constitution, and a Cabinet Minister all agree, what's the point of considering the argument or even treating the person making it with respect?
"A plus", guys.
Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Magnatronia
That's sad man. I wish you luck where ever you may end up or may be. A toast - to us hopefully being involved in the British Columbia regional government together in the future. God bless and God speed, it was nice spending time with you. I do hope you reconsider, though.
Jaslandia
First, I fully admit to being vocal as hell, is just how I work and how the RMB seems to work :P
Second, thank you for your kind words, they actually sum up my thoughts quite well.
In short, thanks Yuk :D
Oelesa, Yukona
Sorry to see ya leave, though we must disagree on exactly what "Classic CFN" means, and what respect seems to be.
Why exactly did you leave the first time though?
Oelesa
Shame to lose you, Cont.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Yukona
Had to double check that didn't say what I thought it said
Nuremgard, The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Vista Major, Kalaron, Minnesota Dakota, Magnatronia
Anyhow, it seems like Vista is likely to win.
I for one welcome our new overlords.

Jesus Christ, 27 telegrams... all votes that I have to count.
Maybe I'll livestream the count or something.
Vista Major, Oelesa, Tserra, The United Providences Of Perland
NO !
Don't go away ! Please.
I.... I am literally crying.
Noooo.
Vista Major, Percyton
Ok, now its time to panic.
Really sorry to hear that, ContComm. I always enjoyed having you here, so it's a shame to see you go. Still, it's your decision, and I wish you the best! Farewell!
"A truly remarkable guy, I hear he's being recognized more and more these days. I'm glad to see he has his own holiday, and that the fact that he got a holiday and despite still alive is truly impressive; I thought only dead people got holidays. I will celebrate this day by meeting with Mr. Douglass to personally congratulate him on his achievements." - President Donald Trump
Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica
No, no panic.
We're fine, we just need to keep on chugging.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, The United Providences Of Perland
You can? That would be lovely!
I would support that very much.
*awkward laugh* He he he...
...
I don't get it.
I like chugging; I do it all the time.
Jaslandia
ContComm! I'm really going to miss you! I hope you come back, but if you don't, then I'm sorry to see you go, and I wish you good luck in the future!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
Would anyone here be open for a citizenship reform ?
Elaborate?
Penguania And Antarctica
Make a law to cover up the nations that grandfathered in. So that no one can say there is no legal basis for our procedures. I also got from someone the submission that two seperate lists (one for the citizens and one for granfathered in nations) will be kept. Both with the same rights but for the granfathered in nations with the exception that they don't need WA status.
Well this is just a very early alpha version. I am open for input.
Why can't they have WA though. It takes nothing but 10 minutes or less to create a puppet and put WA on it. Then just log in every 30 to 60 days. It's fairly easy, instead of giving certain people more rights. I mean I understand it, but it seems unfair.
Just like was said yesterday, the system isn't meant to be fair, is referential to the fact that certain citizens come from past regions, and is meant to point towards the fact that many of our Citizens would suddenly lose citizenship or be "I'd like to help but I have to wait" responses when asked to do something like help person "X" or move WA to a puppet to suddenly aid a fallen region.
Besides that, it isn't a case of more rights so much as relaxed standards...and that's the most that could be said of it.
"system isn't meant to be fair"
I heard this statement too often in recent times. And honestly, I don't like. It implies that some here are more equal than others. That we have people of two classes here. A lower class and an upper class. And I refuse to accept that.
I am for a fair stystem were all are equally.
So, I totally dislikes this statement.
Oelesa
And I butchered this so bad. I'm sorry for my errors.
The United Providences Of Perland
Just no. It takes almost no time to get WA on a puppet nation or main, and then to check up on it every now and then. I agree that past members shouldn't have to wait to become a citizen again, but they should he held to the same standards as everyone else. We can relax how strict we are about it. Like you said auding someone or forgetting to check up it shouldn't be shouldn't be immediately punished by removing citizenship, in casea like that we should have a time limit on how long you can remain a citizen and go with out WA status. It's no hard to keep the standards and be relaxed at the same time.
Jaslandia
Well no, it's meant to reflect that there is a difference in the trust you can give to Jas over "Bottybot123". People from the past regions were grandfathered in, as was the case with the NGA and Montaris.
To define it as creating a "Lower class and an upper class" is incorrect as far as I can see.
As I said, allowing for a logged exception by the MOIA is necessary, especially if one is conducting an operation best kept unmarked.
As I said in my last post, exceptions are important.
I support logging them, and keeping them logged, preferably with periodic check ins with the MoIA.
The United Providences Of Perland
Also, happy Valentine's day
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I have no Valentine :(
Jaslandia, Pirate Kingdoms
your not alone kin..*sniff*...your not alone
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
At least we have porn sites. :P
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland, Pirate Kingdoms
I get what you're trying to do, but I don't think we need two different lists with two different rules. The most feasible thing at the moment would be check the roster before an election, and check on nations (in regards to citizenship/WA status) if we have reason to believe something is wrong or unusual.
Penguania And Antarctica
Politics is sooooooo complicated . *sighs*
The United Providences Of Perland
I'll be your Valentine <3
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Pirate Kingdoms
Yay !!!
*hugs*
Einsiev, Pirate Kingdoms
I would like to apologize for some of the things I aid yesterday. I was indeed over the top of my criticism of Mercentile's idea. I will also agree that the region is unwelcoming of newcomers. I do apologize, and I will be out of my official office tomorrow night to make way for a better face. I also find the lost of three citizens saddening. Thank you.
Signed,
Perland
Minister of Interior
Jaslandia, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
My Valentine is my hand.
Einsiev, Penguania And Antarctica
Well, same here.
How about we exchange hands ? ;)
Nuremgard
A few porn sites offer free "premium" today, just to educate you.
Penguania And Antarctica
Well I just resigned from the WA. I will not be getting it back on this account, or on any puppets. This region is free to strip me of my citizenship if it so desires.
Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
I don't need premium porn. The Internet is full of free porn.
Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
You do realize that will remove you form your position correct?
I have not the desire to do so as supposed to be MoI
The United Providences Of Perland
I may regret this later, but I am beyond PO'd. So at this particular moment, I do not give a single flying fvck.
I am tired of this BS. You are seriously apologizing for your behavior last night? You did nothing wrong. None of us did.
Kalaron, The United Providences Of Perland
Until this year, I had never had a Valentine. I'm glad I have Tim :D
Merlinton, Nuremgard, Magnatronia
How about we all calm down, take a little break, and go on as before ? Seriously it wasn't a problem before it became a problem out of a sudden. And I am not willing to strike respectable memebers of their citizenship for no reason.
Why do we need WA status at all ? It doesn't make sense to me.
Jaslandia, Oelesa
Helps prevent voter fraud. As a person can't have two WA nations on one IP.
Did I really typed memebers ? Fml.
Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland
Yeah, gotta stand by Tse here.
What happened had built up since days before, and none of it was the fault of anyone who responded.
Like Yuk said earlier, I suppose.
Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
I will not be striking your citizenship. I know how making decisions out of anger will f you over badly. Peng will decide what to do when he takes office.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Exactly.
We only ever needed it for the initial verification before. It was never a problem until suddenly it became a problem.
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica
What is even going on anyway? What are people bitching about this time?
Jaslandia, Kalaron, The United Providences Of Perland
Confederacy Of Free Nations could you remove Mdo as MoJ?
Would love to.
The United Providences Of Perland
Done.
Vista Major, The United Providences Of Perland
I as future MoI will hereby make clear that I don't intend to change the current way citizenship is handled. If new legislature passes changing the methods I will comply and follow those new rules. Until then I will proceed as my predecessors proceeded.
And I also hope that we get over this and can be a family of fun and laughter. :)
Thank you very much.
-Peng.
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Tserra, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
Specifically, the people who joined our region days ago argued with people, often using that glorious argument of "Well you're stupid and I don't like your criticism so I'm ignoring you".
Yesterday, one came on and suggested forcing people to have WA to be citizens, people reacted by stating their opposition, specifically with Humph questioning his qualifications after the member suggested making it a law (It was a MoIA policy), Tse noting that the Grandfather system works perfectly and Per agreeing with Humph.
Mdogo came on and gave frankly bogus shaming comments about it as them being closed to criticism (funny because he refused criticism) and things have gotten worse.
There is a fair split over whether what was said last night is bad or not, with multiple people disagreeing on the thought and others being concerned about how it looks and if we happen to be hostile to new guys.
So during today's drama, this region lost Mdogao, Aech, Kaeldistan, and Mercantile League. Ah yes such a tragic loss to lose these four people.
So tragic to lose a MoJ who I honestly forgot existed until he spoke up today decrying this "unfair" system that "hates on newcomers". Ah yes a person like this who is easily forgettable will surely be missed!
So tragic to lose Kaeldistan, someone who literally only posted on this RMB like once and that was to declare they were leaving. Ah yes what a massive L we've taken as a region to lose this guy!
So tragic to lose Mercantile League. Sorry I just can't with this one lol. Honestly I'm glad this mofuka gone lmao they were acting special af. But yeah so tragic to lose someone who argued with anyone they saw the moment they joined this region.
And then Aech ah yeah so tragic to lose someone who is basically like an Egg on Twitter (basically an account that seems like it was literally made 2 hours ago and probably fake as it lacks an actual profile pic/avatar).
These four brave souls who have totally contributed so so much to this region will surely be missed!
Let's all never forget 14 February 2017, the day four very forgettable nations decided they were fed up with a region they hadn't really done much for and decided to flee to the Rejected Realms. Their movement is totally something that makes sense and worthwhile and will never ever be forgotten!

Hey now, let's all try calm a little.
The people have left, and we need to come to an understanding with each other.
I recommend that, like Jas, we all take a step back and remember that we're all buddies.

Thanks for the explanation. I must have missed the whole thing as I tend to skim the RMB when there's too many messages. Shame we lost Cont though. I liked him.
Kalaron, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
We lost our daddy. ;_;
I .... I did that too ?
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
No problem, it's for the better really.
We'll be right back on our feet soon enough though! My question is still why he originally left, since it was days before this incident >.>
Goodnight, friends. Don't set the region on fire. Have a nice remaining Valentine's Day, a night of pleasure (yes the kinky kind) and sweet dreams. Love ya all. <3

Night, Peng.

Just posting this here, I still need you to get with me, and confirm the vote count.
True.
Anyhow, how's Nuremgard this time of Year?
Jaslandia
Things are trundling along. The poor continue to prosper, taxes are higher than I would like and the Imperial Family are moving to the spring palace next month. How's Kalaron?
Jaslandia, Kalaron
Goodnight, Peng!
High taxes and economic equality?
Sounds dreadful.
The coldest winter with the most snow yet seen.
Taxes have hit an all-time high.
Development for the MBT/MBTC-90 is reaching near completion, and plans to market it towards everything that moves is proceeding as normal.
Oh, and we hit the standard of "Father knows best" state because we decided politicians had to vote as their voters would want rather than crossing the aisles.
In short, it's a normal terrible month in the land, but people are happy, especially the Archon considering his boyfriend is quite the arts and crafts maker :D
Nuremgard
I like the equality but don't like how highly the poor are taxed.
Is your national leader gay?
Kalaron, Magnatronia
I congratulate Oelesa on his victory in the race for Vice President! I wish the best of luck to you good sir in succeeding this term, and if you ever need a Deputy VP, I'm just a telegram away!
Jaslandia, Oelesa, The United Providences Of Perland, Humpheria Major
Ain't gay if you don't touch dicks ;P
Nah but really, he's more of a blank character that I refuse to give details to.
He could honestly just be the MBT-90 with eyes painting on the turret and most people would feel only a little uneasy around him.
Fa as I'm concerned, if I'm Archon, he's bi.

My PM is a straight female but she is a damn sexy PM. This is her.

In my Westeros, Daenerys' son and heir is gay.
She looks pretty alright, though redheads and those with brown hair tend to be even more pretty :P
Here's hoping he gets a great boyfriend to make artsy stuff.
Nuremgard
Oh you, you're too sweet :p
Being that you asked first, and are still a valuable member of this region, it's only right to appoint you as my deputy. Though it's till 8 pm in Indiana so I'm not the VP just yet.

Maybe I'll have him marry a sexy Dornishman.
Prince Andrew is worried that his grandchildren will be commoners as his daughter is going to marry a nightclub manager. Since he is not royal or aristocratic, their children will not be titled.
I wish I had these people's problems.
Base him on Tim, he'll be the best < 3
...they'd still have the royal coffers though, right?
