Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations

History

Yukona wrote:It's so evident that he has multiple accounts, comes here and knows a lot about the region, comes from Montaris, just starts on Kal right away like every other puppet. I think it couldn't be more obvious what's wrong if the bloke picked up a shovel and smacked us in the face with it. If he wants to actually be a part of this region he'd stay, get involved and cut the bullsh*t - of which I'd have no problem in him doing.

I used my discretion as much as I believe I legally could. And I would like to say that a crucial decision was made by me and Tserra at a crucial time.

If you would like to challenge me, please, do send me to court. They would absolutely love a trial

Kalaron wrote:I think that one kinda fits into what Yuk was getting at, there?

As for his "Problem", I believe Yuk just called you Ruclax -An old member who tried to turn dictator twice before we just walked out on him with a swish of the middle finger- due to your prior residence in Montaris, as well as the fact that some other nations that have chosen to make the "clockwork" as Sul described have had prior homes in regions we've had conflict with.

The dread Demon Ruclax...Thats a great name for an evil monster lol

I mean, Tse had a bad illness before he CTE'd and likely had better things to do than...you know...troll around with us. Ignoring that, he came back before any actual motion on removing him passed and most of the people wanted to just let him...you know? stay?

By all means, the argument "It's just a game" isn't worthwhile normally, but a middle-aged man can be given slack for a bad illness...especially when he resigns soon afterwards too.

In the end, it really is just a game.

You immediately jump on Kal, you immediately know a lot about the Justice System, you know about Tserra and I'm pretty sure you came from Montaris. It's pretty obvious you're either Ru or someone similar - again, why you don't actually just try and make peace with the community instead of trying to wave about your schlong from outside the window of our cosy house is beyond me, but you do you. You know how you know so much - you've been lurking and since you follow the trend of the numerous puppets that drop in here on a bi-monthly basis that just rip into the region and Kal, it isn't exactly rocket science.

Actually, to be completely honest, its kind of painful on the "protected" end...I'm an Atheist IRL, and my friends know and accept that; but I'm still subjected to the "Im to afraid of offending you" bull and its hurtful, however unintentional. I even see nervous faces around some of my best friends when anyone, not even me, brings up religion and I'm in earshot :-/

What I don't think people realize is that instead of trying not to offend anyone, you should instead learn the specific tolerances of the people around you, yea you should watch what you say, but that doesn't mean avoid any potentially aggressive topics.

That is a bit odd. Cato is a libertarian-leaning think-tank, while Huffington Post is a liberal site, so those two usually aren't cited together. I'm guessing your opponent looked for justification after the fact, and Cato and Huffington were the first two sites he/she found.

I have a bad feeling about the upcoming snap election. I feel the SNP may lose quite a few seats to the Tories. I also have a bad feeling about a second referendum (if we ever have one.)

A sinking feeling tells me Scots will end up voting No. But we still need to see how Brexit pans out. I dunno. Just a bad feeling.

The Royal Republic Of Kumania wrote:I think I missed the discussion how the Discord is elitist. Could anyone please explain lol

OK, so the term "Elitist" has been used in the regions since before Discord was a thing.

Back then, if I recall right, it meant that the politically active people tended to know and support each other, and would thus vote for each other over the "Common Man".

When Discord came around, it took on a new meaning since Discord is best described as a subcommunity of NS.

So called "Discord Elitism" refered to Discord being more important than NS, with the politically active normally logging as much time there as on NS and moving more of their random posts or rants there rather than the RMB, as well as some of their political activity when we had recordings.

As for this Region's use of it?

Well...what meaning do you think they were using?

We have, humorously, more definitions and no one ever clarifies.

To be specific, there's been one person who attempted to state that there was a Discord Elite comprised of me and Tim and that we wanted to keep this ill-gotten power, one person stated that it was merely peope who talked and thought similarly and most people just thought of it like a voting block but less coherent.

TBF it annoys me when people even say it, since it's the biggest catchall ever.
