Maybe we could talk about something that isn't Gradea.

For example, what happened to that multi GCR alliance proposal that was in the works? Did it fall apart already?

Not sure about that one. To be honest I do not remember hearing about it.

[Consular]

I think it was still in the sort of a secret stage. I have the proposed text lying around somewhere.

Didn't New Charzila propose something like that?

Lol.

I think this one was Cormac's idea.

Well if I'm a good boy and don't have people attempting to set me up for "hacking" (yes Chloe - I have screenshots of that conversation between you and reddog you sly creature. I like the obsession you've gained with myself) I should be all good.

CoF ended down to a DEAT - correct. AoI didn't. I think one instance does not constitute claiming all my falls are down to misbehaving. AoI ended cause I had a life to attend to and Bucket wasn't exactly able to do all the administrative work. Dealt with the stresses and now I'm back at a much lower capacity.

However thanks for the compliment around growth.

And I understand you don't have too much experience in this area - but there is a major difference between leading a region of 10 nations (who knows how many are puppets?) compared to a region of a few hundred. Just saying..

Having a blanket DEAT certainly means good boy

If you send 20,000 recruitment telegrams a month I would be disappointed if you didn't have a nice regional population. It wasn't a compliment.

I would also like to pose a question you posed to Gradea, how many of those nations are puppets?

I would solemnly swear that I have no puppets in there other than Riftanity and Verlust. Alongside that we have a ridiculously high WA percentage so it practically goes without saying we retain a lot of people.

No puppet wanking happened with this region. I did that at the beginning of AoI but with Sanctum we started recruitment with the nations we had and did fine.

To comment on us having a lot of puppets is rather idiotic when we have a nearly a 50% WA participation. That doesn't even factor in some members who have mobile WAs.

Well obviously. I mean, NS is actually just three people all playing each other, right?

I merely threw at you a question you threw at Gradea so yeah

Please do not call me Festybae

Best time to talk about him is when he can't reply

[Pollaetorian]

Also, someone call Codger. He needs to reclaim this thread from the likes of Rifty & Co.

He's busy raiding polls

In Hong Kong going to Japan tonight. *scuttles off*

I doubt that jump from 20 to 120 in a single day was legit.

No - you don't get special treatment. Only the bestest of NS get special names. x

I know! It sounds like a fairytale doesn't it Zenny? Sadly on NS a lot of things are documented..

That there is from our first mass WA recruitment. I can get you a better screenshot when I get home (at a mates). Alongside that if you delve into the region and look at the nations page; choose to search by length of residency and go from page 3 - 13. You'll notice that atleast 80% of these nations are part of the WA.

I think we can now confirm it was legit. Oh I can also get you a copy of the date that telegram went out and in return you can get me a date of that screenshot. Then we can go back and see that they do match.

[Zenya]

Nice then ^_^ I was wrong!

It's good we aren't in general otherwise we'd just keep fighting. XD

How many nations in Sanctum are puppets? Likely far fewer than in many large UCRs considering the mass WA member nature recruitment means most of the adds are WAs and far more likely to be unique news than puppets.

Rifty's is among the best in the biz at the actual recruitment TG, give props where deserved.

That's because he's the first into a previously declared off-limit zone. He's basically the first one to start logging up some rainforest. People may not like it, but the logging company sure is reeling in profits.

[Arctriul]

Sadly contradictory to your statements Val about me being the first to this means of recruitment - I'm not. I began back in May last year; late May. Well before then we can view Vandoosa doing a World recruitment for Glorious Nations of Iwaku. I was not the first and am not claiming to be the first. I have been the most consistent - that's it.

Something which I haven't been able to grasp is this ill thought out beliefe that what I am doing is evil.

Just for the continuation of what I'm saying; I want you to look at things in these means:

Net Assests = Nations
People / Person = Regions
Tax = Recruitment

I tax the people who have a larger net Assest more then those with a lesser value. This is something we'll gladly accept in the real world as something majority of people want; to not pick on the little guy. To have those with lots of money to pay more to lessen the burden on the poorer folk. However on here it is seen as so negative because the little guy isn't the one on the forums upset.

Raiding picks on the little guy - and we have raiders more then happy to not be accepted. They know the damage they cause yet continue to do these things. Raiders also recieve angry telegrams about their actions - something I get.

I may be logging down the Amazon however we have raiders slaughtering thousands of people and tossing their money out the window.

End of words meaning different things

I would love to claim I was the first to practice this means of recruitment - but I'm not. I am the only one to use it, accept the unneeded bitching and grow from it. I am not a pioneer in recruitment but I have done something good. Something people are unable to give due credit (In Bucket's words) or even believe (as Zenny had done).

Above all else - you message 100 random nations asking if they would rather R/D gone or recruitment; and I will guarantee you that 95% would say R/D.

You might as well be asking them if they'd rather have R/D gone over the forums, or custom flags, or nation mottos. Stacked comparison is stacked.

Just no, Rifty. You know better than to say this.

The comparison is relevant. We shall whine and moan of equitable recruitment but not of raiding which is disliked by majority of NS.

And you know I don't stand by that "raiding picks on the little guy." Just as I would not accept to recruitment is the same as logging. I just made the comparison since we were using idiotic explanations.

[Marselesk]

Pffff, i haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about

That's good, because setting someone up in such a way is likely to quickly result in the players responsible being banned from the site.

Yup, i have been introduced with the rules.

I must hey

I need to resort to such petty and idiotic means of getting a one up; don't i? Gotcha

If you've got yourself some infatuation for myself that you'd go to such lengths - awesome.
