Maybe you could specify?
Yukona
Throughout all of NS.
How will you accomplish this?
Diplomacy.
Yukona
why is it that whenever anyone asks anything about your campaign you give vague to useless answers :P
Oelesa
To be fair, it's a normal occurrence on NS.
Respectfully, I don't believe we have any right to force democracy on a region wholly seperate from our own.
Jaslandia, Yukona
What is your method for solving problems on a diplomatic level?

Yup, because a practice is commonplace, it is justified. 'xactly.
You've got my vote!

That's a great question and thank you for asking it but I think that it's not the question we should be asking ourselves. Are we happy, are we united? Those are the real things playing on all of our minds and that's why a vote for me is a vote for the better of the region.
Andromitus, Oelesa
Never said that, just saying that being disgruntled about it is kinda moot since it happens literally everywhere.
You might as well get enraged when it rains, it won't stop it and is highly unlikely to discourage it. :P
Lol what a bad comparision. Clouds can't listen and people can.
Posted. Mag, youre on the clock.

Fine. You can be on the clock later. But when you get back, it's on the clock.
Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Because it's evil for Minnesota to be vague about his own campaign, right?
By all means, debate all you want mate, but the fact is that it doesn't really matter all that much because it's already clear that he's being vague.
The comparison is meant to show that people won't suddenly listen to you because you just made a comment on them being vague, especially on the internet.
THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT, REMEMBER, YOU HAVE NO MORE SOUL TO GIVE
Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
Lol bae I said mediocrity or etc. let me guess you are the local one-upper?
You are still ignoring the context. This isn't 4chan or yahoo answers. He is a candidate for public office. he was asked a question by a constituent in the public forum. His response is open to scrutiny. If this region takes itself seriously enough to have a govt. then this process is a key part of it.

Chill it my home stove top, ain't no reason to start stoking the fire.
Jaslandia, Oelesa
Lol sorry I didn't think I was being particularly inflammatory.
Well you're just throwing you're accusing the guy of being one thing and another, jumping to conclusions. You're not being 'particularly inflammatory', I'm just sayin, ain't no need to be so on the offence my friend
I'm confused. Who did I accuse of what?
"let me guess you are the local one-upper?
You are still ignoring the context. This isn't 4chan"
You do you, my dude, I'm not exactly gonna get the Stasi on you. There just isn't much reason in throwing shade out there when you hardly know the guy.
Welp, I've officially hit 10 billion citizens! I've been here for a while, wow.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
Lol he cherry-picked my quote to make it sound like I was calling someone evil instead of encouraging public discourse about a candidate's fitness for office. IMO that deserves some shade
And he is ignoring the context. And this isn't 4chan.
Continental Commonwealths
Congrats man, we hit 750 mil a few days ago but I accidentally dismissed the issue for getting a customise-able leader 'cus that's what I do to half the bullsh*t issues I get - If ya' dismiss it, it never happened. Illness and terrorism don't exist in Yukona :^)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Or maybe he misinterpreted it? Idfk and I'm not gonna argue, ain't my problem. Again, all I'm putting out there is there isn't any reason to throw the shade man, just realise the guy's not out purposefully to sh*tpost you
I would be so bummed out if I were to do that. Crime is unknown of in Einsiev, so all I have to do now is lower my tax rate!
Yukona
Oh Jeez. I thought you were Oel. I was reading your post, and when you said crime is unknown of in Einsiev, it really threw me for a loop. I was like..."Wait. Why is Oel talking about someone else's crime rate? What does that even have to do with anything?"
That is what I get for looking at flags, and ignoring names.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I happened to notice only a few days after my flag alteration that mine was similar to his XD. I hope it hasn't thrown anyone off too bad yet.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra
I highly doubt he misinterpreted it. I made a point in my own words using the word mediocrity. then I used a very famous quotation to support my point. he picked out a single word from the quotation and twisted the context to make it sound like I was slandering. that's classic cherry picking.
Continental Commonwealths
And you quoted that the only thing evil needs is for good men to do nothing, if my comparison was off than the same could be said for your quote, which was my point in showing how it wasn't particularly relevant.
I don't see myself as a "One upper", ain't sure on it's relevence either.
Did I, at any point, say he wasn't? Did I, at any point, say you couldn't?
The answer to both question is no. My point has been that it's pretty pointless considering that everyone was already aware of how vague his answers were, and how unlikely it is that he suddenly changes his style of response.
Cheers on being the first to use a character attack though, Mate.
Threw me off for a bit, but I like both y'all flags, so I won't ask for change.
Einsiev, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I thought I got hacked for a second lol. I dropped my pizza.
Jaslandia, Baxten, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Lol what you are doing right now is textbook one-upping and bad-faith obfuscation. You just try to disguise it with fake-friendliness...mate. And what one-upper will admit they are?
Except its not pointless, because this is a community built on debate and politics. So, its actually pretty vital.
So I'll pretend that that the first bit ain't jargon in the same way that the F-35 having "advanced networking capabilities to ensure the continued lethality of projects both present and future in a changing and shifting combat environment" isn't.
Ignoring the continued character attack in your argument, you are correct in stating that this community is built upon debate, however, considering that everyone was already making jokes about his answers being vague before hand, it's -as I said- rather pointless to point it out in a rude manner.
If your aim was to raise awareness of the vagueness of his campaign, it was already fulfilled by people prior to you.
If your aim was to get him to change how he campaigns, then I have to wonder if you understand that he almost certainly won't react in the way you intend just because you snarked him. A better means would be to instead remain polite and informative.
If your aim was to make a snide comment on his campaign, then congrats, you did it.
In short, like most comments on NSG there was nothing to be learned from this chain of tomfoolery.
I'll buy you more pizza.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Uuh I nearly dropped mine too buy me some!
Einsiev, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Another false comparison. How is "obfuscation" the same as that long string of copypasta?
I think that's a mischaracterization, but okay.
My aim was to call you out for trying to stop someone from making constructive comments about a public campaign.
I didn't snark him, I snarked you, and you kind of deserve it because you cant stop mischaraterizing, cherrypicking, and otherwise being an egotisical prig.
I disagree, I think these things needed to be said.
I'll buy some breadsticks too.
Oelesa, Yukona
Christ above.
First, your top comment was jargon, which is exactly what "textbook one-upping and bad-faith obfuscation" come down to here.
Just as the words about the F-35 were overly verbose and aim to beauty up the sentance's look without reason and actually suffer from being less clear than a more simple message, the same is true of the comment you made.
It's nearly impossible that you didn't understand that I was referring to your original comment when I was speaking about your point in responding to Minnesota in such a way, but I will clarify it here...I was referring to your point in responding to Minnesota in such a way.
At no point have I made any attempt to stop you from doing so, the fact that you're calling me debating on whether your original comment was needed or not me "stopping" you from doing it is well and truly sign enough that you're going to simply refute every point I make with an attack on your end.
It's pretty clear you don't have anything better to contribute to the discussion than insults, and because of that I'm washing my hands of it entirely...well...also because I'm sure people are tired of watching this debate.
He's not here any more
Respectfully, I thank you for "ensuring the civility of the Region" but I'm rather uncomfortable with the immediate ejection he got.
In the future, would you please warn members before doing that?
No
Herro, this is [nation=short]Rardium[/nation], this is my puppet nation. I am here to become friends and huggles with you.

Penguania And Antarctica
OK, seems a little roudy not too.
So that Constable bill should prevent this from happening in the future -I hope- but I'll be adding in a line forbiding immediate ejections like that, K?
Um...you cannot do that.
There is not a no in this situation. We do not unilaterally eject anyone around here. I mean your basically Chief Constable, and Prosecutor rolled into one. Judge, you are not.
Kalaron
That's your business

#Kep4MoFAFeb2017
Immediate ejections are currently unnecessary unless in the event of a raid. (Which is extremely unlikely at the moment)

I think either of you would be able to serve admirably. Good luck and Godspeed.

You aren't a citizen, therefor you can't run for office.
Penguania And Antarctica
Oh no! a rival!
Good luck to you sir! (Or madam IDK anyones genders here lol) But for equal justice, as was not recently demonstrated, I, as MoJ, would recognize all rules regarding my position, and would act fairly and accordingly to the disputed.

Its a shame too. First election in a long time we have had this sort of turnout.

Is it possible to be a citizen without being in the WA? I can't give up my WA citizenship on [nation=short]Rardium[/nation] and it would be a shame to shelve all my speeches and stuff.
Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland
I'm not really gunna campaign because campaigning is just too whack y'know.
All Ima say is I got the name of the region wrong when I announced my candidacy which y'know might actually be a good thing.
I have fantastic fluffy hair and make mistakes so uh yeah vote for me for your Vice President lmao tnx ily <3

Oh your fine. You just have to show that you have WA on something. Its to prove that you are you for election purposes. You do not even have to have your WA nation in the region.

Penguania And Antarctica
Wait, I might have lied. According to the dispatch they want you to have your WA nation here, but that confuses me. I dont recall that as always being strictly necessary.
Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
[nation=short]The United Providences of Perland[/nation]
Hold on now. This is incredibly confusing for me, so I know it must be confusing for people seeking citizenship. Since when do we have to have our WA nation in the region to be a citizen? I will use Humph as an example. He was our first President, and he does not have is WA in this region.
Is that an error in the citizenship dispatch, or what is going on with that?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, The United Providences Of Perland, Yukona
I remember us talking about this, so I think it's an error.
Penguania And Antarctica
You are correct. I don't know that we ever did legislate that requirement in, if it was done, it was done by the Executive Branch in the current administration.
