Republic of Channel Island: ¡Viva la Revolucíon!

[Canton Empire]

Republic Of Channel Island

Hello, I am Canton Empire. I have created a region, Republic of Channel Island. The last time I made a recruitment thread, it failed horridly. I know why now-- I have not explained why you should join. And now when I tell you the merits of joining, I will make you change your mind.

Why you should join
The Republic of Channel Island is a region where all views are accepted and welcome. You can be Communist, Facist, or whatever pleases you. We do not care. Everyone is welcome.
Roleplay:
The Republic of Channel Island is a region that tries to maintain a balance between roleplay and gameplay. Suggestions for roleplays are greatly welcome and encouraged. Current roleplays in the planning stage are Project: Mach Infinity,Assassins Creed: Rouge, and a Quiddich World Cup for NS Sports.
Gameplay:
If roleplay doesnt suit your fancy, then gameplay will. We are a defender region who can act a mercenary defenders group. The military force of the region is the Channel Island Army(CIA, except we dont wear snazzy suits and ties).
Embassies:
Embassies are welcome in Channel Island. RMB posting is allowed for embassing nations, so we extend are welcome to you.
Offsite Forums:
Our offsite forums are locatedhere. Make yourself at home.
With a great mod team and a friendly atmosphere, you will fit right in.
Regonal Asssembly:
The RA, or Regional Assembly is where laws are made an enacted in the region. Every member state is a part of this, and each member gets one vote. The Delegate is the Speaker of the RA.

That is all. I hope I have gotten you to join a cool,upstart region. Even if you just slip in a puppet, we are glad for your contribution.
If you have any questions, contact me by TG at Canton Empire. See you soon!

Perhaps you should try to work on the region rather than the recruitment thread?

What's with the swap in threads; the last one was fine!

I imagine as such.

If that's the case why no start a new region. He says it's a new upstart region...it's been around like 3 months

I know, this was my original thread, and i lost all the coding in it.

[Shizensky]

What's with the swap in threads; the last one was fine!

Yes, because nobody has ever founded a new region that requires a new thread.

Of course not <.< >.>

I would have been more than happy to have that thread still open...but oh no....there had to be a tif on there!

What i don't get is the switch from the other thread - Ultimatly this would come down to wanting recruits. However as we know not many come from your thread; it's more a way to tell the world about your region - not a major tool for recruitment. He would have been better off manually sending recruitment telelgrams during the time he asked for a lock and wrote a new thread.

And again - Can you remove the New, Upstart region part? You have been around two months...

[Nephmir]

Ah, come on guys. Nobody starts out perfect or gets it right the first time around. You're expecting too much. Not everyone spends a year on NS before creating a region, and some people learn the hard way by trial and error. You're all comparing new regions like this one to ones established by experienced NS players; again, expecting everyone to create a region after they have spent a lot of time on NS and then pour money into recruitment telegrams is expecting too much, and it's going to happen whether you like it or not.

Every region has it's own definition of success. There are some regions tagged 'small' or 'medium' out there currently that are not acknowledged by the Gameplay community as a whole that are having as much 'success' in their goals as any other region tagged 'gargantuan' standing proudly and boasting about their successes to the smaller regions. There is an entire GP community out there that, quite frankly, regions like the UIAF, Sicarius, and AOI are too blinded by their 'success' to notice. Well guess what? Some of these small regions with great success don't even know the UIAF or AOI exists. Size and relative success of a region does not determine the importance of it!

Something to think about: when I destroyed Epigamia (a Raider region that specialized in regional destruction, acting as natives and taking down regions silently without boasting about their victories, destroying more than 20 regions before their fall), what was the general reaction of the GP community?

"They're not Raiders. I've never even heard of them".

Shameful. Absolutely shameful. One has to be heard of and acknowledged by the larger organizations to be considered a "real region"? And even worse, to be acknowledged you have to conform to one of the select few ideologies in existence! The rules have been now so clearly defined by the "big" regions that anyone who tries to do something different is seen as a noob, misguided, or unimportant.

And do you know where the success of these regions stem from? Not posting about their region in the GP forum. This is why I am seriously considering not even having a TEK thread when I revive the region later this year. I would much rather be associated with this silent majority them the elite oligarchy of NS players that control and dictate the world, who hide behind archaic rules to keep their ancient ideologies in power and fear change or innovation, and those misguided enough to follow in their footsteps. That, that is why I have always fought, and still will fight, until I am successful or I have encouraged someone better than I to rise up and fight. This Oligopoly is slowly killing the GP community off.

So, Canton Empire, I would highly encourage you to let this thread die, and just build your region. You're not going to get any help or recruits here, only destructive criticism and perhaps a sleeper or two so that the larger regions can have fun at your region's expense.

You all should feel ashamed.

Glad to see by omission they've heard of Sicarius then ;P

[Consular]

regions like the UIAF

The UIAF isn't really a region in itself (though it holds a region named after itself as a formality). It's the joint military of a number of regions; namely TNI, the LKE and Albion.

Also god knows why AOI was your second example. There are far more reputable regions you could have gone with that would still meet the criteria you wanted.

Had to edit because I went with the wrong quote. <_<

I think the reason we were factored in is because we are a direct offshoot from TEK

[Crazy girl]

Alright, back on topic kids, and play nice.

You are not an offshoot of TEK, and you will never be. TEK was a better region, and nephmir is a better man. You arnt even in the same league as TEK, and AOI is not fit to carry on the work of TEK.

a great speech and an accurate view on the gameplay forum

By offshoot i mean we have a fair portion of their community - We in no way are furthering TEK's work. We are Imperialists part of Raider Unity...They were independents against Raider Unity. Now; no need to get all personal and attack me like that...we both know where that heads; don't we?

[Blood Wine]

You all should feel ashamed.

Oh right,because you're so much to talk about and you're totally not hypocritical
Thats why the CoF thing happened
Or maybe you'd like the ragging your attack dog did on on the ""Gehenna - Reapers of Death"" thread while the rest were supportive of the actual feats

You're mistaking ragging on someone for legit reasons (i mean,come on,look at this guy and his region) for ragging on someone for no reason
Ofcourse we're going to haze the newcomers,it either fuels the fire for them to improve or they disappear and we had some fun

And TEK? TEK is just fun to mess with

No, you just want to be mean and condesending.
Now if you will excuse me, I have better things to do then try to destroy a persons confidence.

[Sedgistan]

Ofcourse we're going to haze the newcomers,it either fuels the fire for them to improve or they disappear and we had some fun

That attitude sums up everything that is wrong with gameplay.

Jesus christ Sedge,lighten up for once will ya? stop blaming others for your own ineptitude to actually defend regions,i mean come on,even I did a raid recently

I mean come on! *me* the horrible loudmouth who doesn't do a thing yet still is loud does his job better then you,or ANY defender (besides DYP) for that matter


You know what is REALLY wrong with GP?
RPers raising drama and ruining any chance for actual proper dialogue regarding the use of the SC
Defenders using bigger *censored* politics to ruin everyones days
FRA being jerks to TBH and going back on their word

But SURE,some people having fun with a upstart is *EVERYTHING* wrong with gameplay


blarg,forum desyc
for the oblivious: I'm Blood Wine

[Shizensky]

Sedge's comment has nothing to do with R/D and everything to do with the seemingly popular act of bullying anybody who shows a hint of ambition into oblivion. People who introduce new ideas are often ridiculed for the most asinine reasons. People like you would rather make fun of naive noobs than simply provide legitimately constructive criticism.

Treating new players with new ideas like second class players is nothing short of poisonous, and that behavior damages NS's potential growth. Don't make this about R/D when it is about the attitude you and many others bring that has made it acceptable to crush new players before they take their first real steps.

What have you accomplished that makes you think you have the right to tell others they are playing the game wrong?

[Rifty]

Look even i have to side with Sedge on this - Gameplay specifically but also the rest of NS is far to harsh on the new people. If someone new asks me some questions or help i am always ready to answer them. However Canton isn't a new player...He's been here a few months. I have and others like District XIV, have given him tips and explained things to him - Only to have him say that we are wrong and how he's doing it is right.

Not to mention the opinion changes - They are painful. "You are the greatest - Help me!" "NO HE IS WAY BETTER THAN YOU!"

I just feel that we should help them learn until they show that they are arrogant~
