NationStates News Express: News on the Run

[Aperi]

...the imperialists' attempts to secure power in The West Pacific...

Excuse me ? Where is this fantasy coming from ?

From under your nose.

[Fortress Altum]

The only imperialist involved in TWP is Cassius.

[Mad Jack]

I'm back fellas, up your counterintel and get ready for a bumpy ride.

And the crowd goes... mild.

[The Dourian Embassy]

And the crowd goes... mild.

I'm going to use that going forward. Hilarious. That actually made me crack a smile for once(and in GP that's almost impossible)

[All Good People]

The only imperialist involved in TWP is Cassius.

Oh, I don't know. Some seem to forget that our government is The West Pacific Imperium.

[The Dourian Embassy]

The only imperialist involved in TWP is Cassius.

Oh, I don't know. Some seem to forget that our government is The West Pacific Imperium.

Imperialism isn't real though, or so I was told?

Did someone lie to me?

[Mad Jack]

Wait I thought independence wasn't real?

Or was that neutralitiy? Or Osiris's legitimate government? I've been told so many things aren't real late...

[All Good People]

Someone lie ? In NationStates ? Perish the thought !

[The Dourian Embassy]

Osiris has a legitimate government?! Goddamn it, since when?

Do your job news people!

[Detective Figs]

Osiris has a legitimate government?! Goddamn it, since when?

News to me... are you sure you don't mean Balder? We're easy to mix up.

[the Imperial Crown]

I... have no idea what some people in this thread are on. I expect it's illegal and probably damaging to their sanity which will explain a lot of things.

Osiris has an legitimate government? Do we? Well I'd love to meet them seeing as I'm rather tired of being told that I'm part of the illegitimate government.

[Ambroscus Koth]

ITT: Sweeping generalizations, rampant assumptions, e-penis waving, everything normal in Gameplay.

I think you might count at this point?

[Anumia]

Oh please do tell us all about those evil imperialists and their actions in Osiris. I'd just love to hear what bullshit you're about to spew.

Anyone who can't see how they benefited from inserting themselves in the Osi situation is either willfully ignorant or trying to play innocent. They came out with the most gained of the situation.

You mean because they actually did something about it and succeeded, political capital was gained as a result? Egads! Maybe that's what defenders are doing wrong: failing.

Hmmm, The UDL and the FRA were the forces that did the successful slingshot move to dethrone Douria. No political capital gained -- in fact FRA's embassy remained closed and UDL never received an apology after we were called a spew of horrible things by Cormac in public because we removed a banned member from our own IRC channel.

This is rather unimportant though, defenders don't do what they do for political capital. However, getting used by Osiris -- first, slammed around for political points likely to please TNI, then asked to help them again is just the usual exploitative GCR relationship that defender groups should avoid getting involved with. That crap gets tiring.

[Anumia]

Well, I can sympathise if you were completely stonewalled after the assist without any provocation or the like, but you might want to consider a potential branding issue.

[Mahaj]

Cormac told me the entire time that if he was in my shoes he would have done exactly as I did >.>

Sounds like you might be the only person in NS who has a problem with Cormac.

[Shadow Afforess]

Yes, that's it! A shiny new logo and new name placard will solve everything.

There is my point, in case you missed it the first time.

[Boom Shacka]

Cormac offered to re-open relations between the FRA and Osiris, and requested our help before he was elevated back to the WAD position. I refused that request, and a subsequent offer of renewed relations following the successful switch. Just to clarify that the FRA had already withdrawn from Osiris after we were lambasted by the Kemetic Republic in their statement following the peace deal.

errrrr. Not quite.

That I do recall.

I also recall JAL, (the one controlling Douria) agreeing to stepping down as delegate, and thus ending the siege. Not to say that the UDL wasn't trying to help, as quite a few of us were. It's likely of all the "groups" who was trying, the UDL was likely one of the biggest, and a very good chance of being the biggest.

Yes, you guys lost out. But what is it that you guys did or didn't do that led to you losing out?

[Mad Jack]

UDL never received an apology

Probably had something to do with the slew of bad ideas coming out of UDL command? Or the lack actual physical support in the form of WAs?

defenders don't do what they do for political capital.

You clearly do.

[Solorni]

Unibot definitely does. He's just not very good at it
