The real world isn't 1-dimensional, but some things in it can get pretty damn close.

Plus, NS isn't he real world.
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'm pretty sure he was just yanking your chain to toy with you. I doubt a plan would happen either way. However, I think most people on this game can be the word you used due to the distancing and anonymity the internet has on an individual as indicated by the Milgram experiment -- the effects of known proximity of the test subject and the actor. However, I do see ad hominems are seemingly your sharpest tools in your repertoire, but in order to come to that conclusion, that would require me to actually read posts on here and not simply skim through them; although, I'm pretty sure Gerzam is under the impression that you deserve the reaction from him due to how people akin to you act towards others in general. Think of it as the monster you've helped manifested, that is; it is the reaping of the seeds that you have helped sowed. Do you want actual resolutions, or a virtual manifestation to embody all that you don't like about yourself and others in general so that you can siphon off your anger towards the aforementioned? I mean, it can easily be the case that someone you like on this game is also the same actor that plays the role of Gerzam -- the results of the nature of the internet.

Although, as for your classification of what roles people play; I'm more under the impression that the actual state of affairs is more complicated and messy than what you're trying to establish it to be.

The criteria of proximity is given a qualitative nature in your claim, so yes, somethings can be equally as close to something 1-dimensional, but also as equally as distant due to the nature of the measurement being used. However, NS does very much occur in the real world, and despite a fraction of a percent of the total world's population utilizing the game to engage in escapism from their daily lives, at the end of the day, it is still engaging in said fantasy in the real world. However, the parameters of what the real world is or is not has not been established, so it is contextually probable that your statement is correct along with mine.


Addendum: I apologize to The Mods if I'm grave digging.

The United Imperial Armed Forces Press Release
Record Broken!
23 May 2013


During the recent update a few bored kids decided to go out raiding and while doing that broke the previous record of 11 by taking 18 regions! No fenders were out during the update to stop us.

The operation was lead by Deputy Commander Christopher Bishop with support from Hamilcar Barca and Sir Robin. Fairy wasn't able to make the update, but we did a huge shout out for her and hope she gets better quickly!

Congratulations are in order. The fact that three people were able to do this across an entire update, completely unopposed, is certainly a failure for the fendasphere.

Of course, most of those have already been detagged. I personally saw to some of them. :P

Record Broken!
28 May 2013


Today leading the charge was Deputy Commander Christopher Bishop with Edward Leben and Sir Robin of Aelbarrow following behind. We were close to the intended goal of thirty regions, but were left three short. Just leaving twenty-seven tags altogether.

The United Imperial Armed Forces Press Release
Control Over The True Rebirth
29 June 2013


Image


In a display of force this major update, the United Imperial Armed Forces invaded ‘The True Rebirth’ and deposed the sitting delegate. This decisive action was pursued in direct response to the Vice Delegate of The True Rebirth, Feranal, taking the unwise decision to place recruitment spam on the regional message board of Polis. Polis is a dominion of The Land of Kings and Emperors.

It should be highlighted that Feranal's actions, in placing a recruitment message on Polis’s RMB, were not the isolated acts of a lone individual. Before proceeding into LKE territory Feranal obtained official and public sanction from The True Rebirth’s Chairman of Foreign Affairs, who presented with a plan to recruit from Polis gave Feranal ‘4 days to inquire and see if anyone will come here.’ Moreover, their plot to recruit loyal members of The LKE Empire did not end there. Even after Feranal had been ejected and his post suppressed, another member of The True Rebirth publicly speculated as to whether it would ‘not be more effective to telegram each and every nation in Polis?’ They refused to take a hint.

As has been illustrated numerous times before, the governments of The New Inquisition and The Land of Kings and Emperors will take any threat to the integrity of their empires seriously. Like all independent regions, we insist that all foreign regions must respect our sovereign territory. By seeking to recruit the members of Polis to a foreign region, The True Rebirth violated the sovereignty of The LKE. By violating the sovereignty of The LKE, The True Rebirth invited military retaliation from the United Imperial Armed Forces.

We would like to thank Europeia, Kantrias and Asgard for their assistance with the operation.
