It's ok. I was able to remotely format both my comp and my phone (thank you Google), I'm still able to track my phone so I sent the data to the local PD, it should help speed things up.

Oh Mauricil your way with words and looks underline my day like the sun shining behind a cloud, illuminating the bad times to come with joy and adventure as if our lives were a small trawler on a rough tide and you were the steadfast helmsman.

Hey buddy.
If you wish to roleplay, I'm a salesman for armaments for nearly the whole region so you won't find better quality than here :D
The only thing is, you can't use chemical weapons or commit serious war-crimes.

Kalaron
I mean, sorry not all of us maybe use deathcamps in war?
Well I'm not going to sugarcoat the reality of human nature and the innate beast that dwells in us all. I shall not restrict humans from being their true selves in times of war. That sucks and quite frankly, is contradictory to human nature like Communism. Besides, so what that I have camps? Such has always existed and will continue to exist.
Very edgy, but irrelevant.
I never asked what you consider exciting, I just said that not everyone has deathcamps, and I certainly won't.
That was it, really.
Hey, Tse's Dark Brotherhood is back! :D

Guess whose back.....

Am I at work? You mean war?
I am not at war with anybody right now.
Hey Lat.
How are you?
not irrelevant. You asked a question so I answered it. Simple Kindergarten grammar. Should know that.
Sarcastic use of a question mark, a little more advanced than kindergarten, but you're apparently going to university and were born in America, should know that. :D
But yes, most of the time, when I ask a question and include "sorry", I'm being a bit sarcastic.
Hail Sithis!

Post self-deleted by Miencraft.
I would like to announce that five counties along with myself have agreed to come together as part of an international organization known as CROSS, which stands for the:
Coalition for the
Rejuvenation of
Operational
Sovereign
States
CROSS is an economic, military, trading, information, intelligence, industrial international supranational organization. It is like if the EU/UN were to merge with NATO. CROSS is ONLY geared towards non-democratic countries. If you are interested in becoming part of this developing international organization then please send me a telegram stating your interest as well as your government structure. once you do that then I will bring up your membership to a vote to the other members.
Thank you.

Democratic in institution pertaining to giving a voice to authoritarians/totalitarian regimes to ensure mutual cooperation, collaboration, and advancements but not democratic in individual state governance.
I am a military junta, idgaf about my populace. They stay in their place and quite frankly, the populace does not know anything pertaining to how CROSS operates and what CROSS does. It is none of their business as to what CROSS does. It is not sketch. Each member state has a common understanding that if our own individual states are to be able to preserve our national sovereignty, rule of law, national security, and national interest then we must come together and vote together and accordingly on implementing procedures and policies that ensures that our individual administrative government systems remain in tact, grow ever prosperous and productive. There are no elections in CROSS. And your membership is voted on to ensure that only the true and rather serious countries that want to contribute to this organization and wishes to not be undermined, manipulated, or exploited.
Mauricil
You're still voting on issues, even if you forgo the electing of a chairperson, (which will most probably cripple your meetings anyway). And not caring about your population is not a guarantee that they won't find out, especially in an RP context.
What if Killdashian spy's forment revolution by spreading the word that the government takes orders from others in an elected body? And tag to that that these decisions may sometimes not be in the national interest?

Read what I wrote, How do you answer a general, non-serious question with another question? Did I ever say you were losing credibility? Nope, I said it was a possibility. And to answer your question, CROSS is very appealing to nondemocratic nations because it fills a very wanting niche role of safety and security among other things for them; I was talking about credibility with non-eligible states abroad. Its a democratic organization uniting nondemocratic nations, which is what Killdash was saying and what I'm finding kinda funny :D
What if Killdashian spy's forment revolution by spreading the word that the government takes orders from others in an elected body? And tag to that that these decisions may sometimes not be in the national interest?
my country does not allow for internet access to websites that are outside of my country. Furthermore, media coverage within my country is very restricted and regulated by the General himself. The same goes for education within my country. As far as a spy of yours "in my country", literally impossible. The PLR does not allow for travel and tourism from all countries and those that do visit are placed on a strict government-sponsored tour. Revolution will not come to the PLR but the PLR sends revolutions abroad. The National Interest of my country is the personal interest of my leader; therefore, once again, idgaf about the populace of my country. Now pertaining to CROSS, our decisions are based off of discussions and the brainstorming so that all members have an input and essentially a piece of the final product; therefore, a portion of everyone's national interest is part of the agenda of CROSS.
Because other alliances are the ones looking at you, not dictatorships?
Tbh, it's also a matter of it being the one made for it? It's still silly as hell.

Seriously? Just cause he decides to have an authoritarian state where his citizens have no say, you decide to slap on the lol-population label? By that definition the entire CROSS alliance consists of lol-populations.

Yeah dude, I don't think you can god-mod your country into an impenetrable fortress. Especially depending on where it is on the map. If it's not an island, the land border will be tricky to hold completely unmolested. I don't see how spying has been made "totally impossible". The spy wouldn't even necessarily be one of my own citizens. You could get a turncoat, especially if you have staff that regularly leave the country to participate in international events, (like CROSS) or I could seed a citizen. There are probability and dice roll mechanics that we use in RPs to get a measure of such events.
That's not to mention hacking and cyber warfare against your state computers, or your, I assume, centrally controlled internet access points, in order to moderate. And what about citizens finding things like the Dark Web? It happens...
And when it does, all this IDGAF isn't gonna look good to a leader that's ultimately in charge because of charisma or money, fleeting powers in a junta state.

So what's your point? Are you gonna start sending spies in? Go to war with him? Pretend he doesn't exist? Or are you gonna keep giving advice no one's asking for?
I want to point out, I'm not threatening anyone here, we're all a CFN family on this board, who fight and argue, but are there for each other end of the day.
But this is relevant for the RPs, where CFN family is not high up on my list of importance.
Again though, on this board, where I feel I exert my real feelings and personality, we are all a family of sorts.

I'm not God modding at all. I'm the DRC. Never said it was impossible. I'm telling you it's not easy as you're proclaiming it to be. I really dont give a f*ck honestly. That's the honest truth. IDC if you dont like how I run things. You can leak whatever you want well try to, but being under a military junta that isn't primitive, obviously I'll have methods to counter. You can hack as you please. there's nothing really there. By all means fly in pamphlets of why my General is so evil and that I'm being told what to do by CROSS when clearly I'm not and it's a group effort then be my guest. Whatever helps you sleep at night but your comments and criticisms are irrelevant pertaining to how I lead my country and what sort of organization I and other people make.
No, because saying "My people are all super-indoctrinated and ignore outside view points and we don't have free internet and spys don't work either and people won't ever find out that this is a democratic group we work within!" is something that requires you to fundamentally ignore things about humans. It's not because his populace can't vote, it's because he's making his nation (and people) into what NK tries to say it is, a nation where no one would ever second guess someone.
If that's your nation then I'm not really all that sorry to say that you have a lol-populace, not that that's grounds for eviction or nothing.
Can't find him on the map, alas. If I could, I wouldn't mind doing some micro RP and such.
As for the advice, it's not intended as chastisement, just pointing out some things that new RPers might forget. And also I found the concept funny, so I commented to rib a little.
Killdash, Mauricil
Sure, sure, on the Gameplay side, I'd never tell a nation how to run their country. Part of the fun of NS is the "no consequences" mechanic.
But I had thought we were talking about RP side game mechanics, where all these things become very pertinent. In RPs, one almost controls a shadow puppet of your nation. Things may change in it, but nothing affects the Gameplay side. However, back in the shadow puppet, all these things I've described might have real consequences. Or they might not. That's why the very best RPs have independent judges who make decisions about the feelings and general mood swings of populaces. So a "leaflet attack" is just a empty, spiteful gesture here in GP, but in an RP, with (for example) your soldiers dying on foreign beaches, they might have more of an effect.
Like I say, in the Gameplay here, I've no issues with what you do, it's how the game is played, and I'll be your friend on this forum as long as you're a genuine person, even if we disagree on ideas and methods.
Everything I've said above is about RP, which is a different beast.

Hey nerds, I finished that old factbook about my nation's "elite" fighting force, the Protomen
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=magnatronia/detail=factbook/id=827026
Merlinton
Aside from the fact you're doing this simply to irk me, it seems hardly fair at all that one can have a main nation and a puppet in the same RP world.
Had I known this was a possibility, I would have simply created a puppet and taken over both the Hong Kong-Guangdong territory and my current one, boosting my numbers even more.
Doesn't sound game-breaking at all....
A common misunderstanding; As far as I know, people need citizenship, and subsequent WA acquisition to gain a map claim. If a nation does not have WA nor citizenship they cannot join. There is a way to get around this however, as someone can submit a puppet nation in that doesn't have WA, however, they must announce its a puppet and the cartographer must have explicit information thereof.
Had I known this was a possibility, I would have simply created a puppet and taken over both the Hong Kong-Guangdong territory and my current one, boosting my numbers even more.
I think only one counts as an RP nation, in the strict sense.

Nope, I done this without knowing you were to be my next door neighbor until I actually done it, the world doesn't revolve around you so go easy on how much credit you give yourself. I'm more than willing to be friendly with you. Also, I can have whatever nation I want in RP, I said - Yukona isn't in the RP and Siroccias withdrawn and I have only ever had one nation in the RP so your complaint isn't valid
Is this alliance a GP or an RP alliance?
By the end of the day I will establish a RP
Vista Major, Andromitus
It doesn't, and I don't think I've made any sort of inclincation that it did. That said, it is perfectly within my right to get salty when I have a new neighbor, especially when I have repeatedly said that I don't like having neighboring nations so long as I can help it.
Is it wrong for me to get irked that I now have to keep a more keen on eye my southern border?
Is it wrong for me to get a little annoyed that I now have to worry about a rival in Eastern Asia?
The short answer to both of these is "No".
