Mordor

One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Mordor is one of the largest regions in the game. If you haven't created a puppet in the last two months you probably won't of heard of us. The region has one of the most corrupt, power-hungry and fascinating constitutions and political environments in the game, truly befitting of its name, and Orkish origins.

If you like corruption, political backstabbing, cut-throat ruthlessness and a desire to reach the top, Mordor is a region for you.

Two camps have emerged in recent weeks, one exploiting every avenue and flaw in the constitution to hoard power for the betterment of Mordor, while another to rid the region of the stench of corruption.

Mordor is a home for everyone, from friendly banter on an RMB, answering issues, all the way to becoming the White Wizard Saruman himself, Mordor is open to all, except Hobbits. Strictly no Hobbits allowed.

If It wasn't Defender, I'd love to join.

:P

Good luck, though. I hope Mordor succeeds in the long-term.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

I'd happily join raider regions (and i have) for the community. You don't need to join them purely for military gameplay.

I'm too tied up in Raiding to be involved in a Defender Region, however.

Unibot would never join TNI (even if they let him) for the Culture, and the same no doubt holds true for a number of other prominent defenders. Its a matter of the regional culture.

There is a difference, raiding is firmly entrenched into TNI's culture and I don't think the same can be said of Mordor about defending. If you're interested sign up and if it doesn't work out then you could always just leave.

Mordor is defender? I see a defender tag, but my fenda detector is only picking up trace amounts of D here.

Thanks Feux. Mordor is designed to be something a little bit different.

As for the comments on defending, Mordor doesn't take itself too seriously in that regard, I find the thought of being defended by Mordor ironic and light hearted fun. As a player I prefer an aligned military, but certainly the Forces of Mordor are not the prime or even secondary focus of the region.

I'll have you know some of my best friends are hobbits. There was Tom the hobbit, Freddy the hobbit, Richard the hobbit, and don't forget Riuyhuiwaniwaqueremarayatwerfaghul the hobbit!

Needless to say, I killed them all, but they were good hobbits nonetheless.

And they say Mordor is evil!



In other news, Cerian Quilor has decided to stop by in the region. We can report he does seem to be enjoying it so far. Whether that is a good selling and advertising point is a completely different matter. :p

Sauron is in the FRA in his other alter-ego. Makes it hard for him to be a Raider.

They were caught trying to recruit nations and Denizens of Mordor. We asked for a formal apology, but instead received a Declaration of War.

All lies. One of their members sent a puppet to us and left a day later. We had gotten word Mordor had planned to declare war on us, so we decided to be preemptive. Mordor is a lot of things, but being the victim is not one of them.

After you contacted his main nation on IRC and requested he join ARTF.

Not to mention the other 2 players you asked to join from Mordor a couple of weeks earlier. Aule requested an apology, you were not forthcoming and instead declared war upon Mordor.

You love your delusions. Zanny joined us on his own, and did not even stay for a day. He buggered off to some tiny inactive region. The real issue was Mordor sending an agent into my region to destabilize our fledgling government.
