Great update

Glory to The Internationale! o/

[Cormac Stark]

With Cormac so heavily involved in the region now, this won't be the last time The Internationale participates in a liberation, nor will it be the last time The Internationale has to deal with foreign affairs drama.

Yes, because a socialist region would never have liberated another socialist region from REATO if I hadn't been there to influence them to do it. Nevermind that it was Misley who brought the need for Communist China to be liberated to my attention.

On an unrelated note, letting Cormac influence your foreign policy at all isn't a good idea. A number of regions have been there, done that.

My "influence" since my identity was discovered and I dropped any attempt at duality has been limited to voting on proposals others have made. I dropped out of the WA Delegate election to keep people like you from attacking The Internationale because I was Delegate and I resigned from The Red Fleet for the same reason.

I don't think that Cormac is "heavily involved" in the region. While he did participate in the liberation, it wasn't organized by him. Furthermore, the proposal he made had to have unanimous consensus from the rest of the region, which it did. He has no more influence over our foreign policy than our newest member.

As for the compliments over the charter school article - I'd love to take credit, but that's not my article. It was written by Cassie Regan, a New York City schoolteacher and member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and was originally published in the PSL's paper Liberation News. I agree that it's a great article, though.

That's too much Influence for Cormac.

Ah, so your suggestion is that I should be banned from every region in NationStates and not allowed to participate anywhere?

I'll tell you what, Cerian, I'll just leave The Internationale so that you and all the other people who follow me around NationStates harassing me, such as forum destroyer Syl, bringing me up when I have nothing to do with the topic at hand just because I happen to be present in the region, will shift your attention somewhere other than The Internationale. Might I suggest The Rejected Realms, Spiritus, or Taijitu? I'm sure any of the three can handle your petty bullying.

[Comrade Anders Blakewood]

I've an honest question, how does TI keep from having voter and election fraud? It seems anyone could create multiple nations and vote in polls or TG their vote to the appropriate person.

I didn't bully TI. did you even notice how I said I was being humorous? Oh, wait, you lost your sense of humor a few side-changes ago.

[Cormac Stark]

Masking your bullying behind "humor" is a common tactic in your sphere. Rachel does it all the time. I don't think anyone found you particularly funny, I know I sure didn't.

[KaelThas Quilor]

That you didn't find it funny isn't the point.

But if you call saying that giving Cormac any influence is bad 'bullying TI', then you really haven't experienced actual bullying in your real life, rendering your opinion moot.

[Misley]

I don't think it's so much an issue of you, individually, but rather a pattern of people taking cheap shots against Cormac and The Internationale ever since he joined our region as TRC.

[KaelThas Quilor]

I've been taking cheap shots against Cormac ever since he took up switching sides every other week.

I've also been taking cheap shots (with less frequency) against regions like TI (albeit not TI specifically) because I find the idea of using RL ideologies as your basis for NS military activity somewhere between strange and ridiculous. If that's what you do, its fine, but doesn't mean I can't crack jokes about it. If you want to go and crack jokes about the way I play NS, I'd have no problems with that.

Calling 'cheap shots' bullying, however, is laughably inaccurate.

Well done in Communist China. I await the siege on Atheist Empire while we're still bringing in reinforcements

A region with fascist embassies? The MT Army and Antifa embassies should've been withdrawn a long time ago, if you ask me. Don't hold your breath and wait for us to organize a liberation with Antifa troops.

You invade other regions just for sport in a game that is supposed to be a political simulation, and then you criticize others for basing their activity on actual political ideologies? Only because you have lost sight of the purpose of this game. Arbitrary invasion of regions and their communities and fake ideologies to justify it aren't the purpose; politics are the purpose.

If you actually want a liberation, try not piling it sky high, otherwise stop pretending you want to see defenders come anywhere near the region and aren't just there to torment its natives for your enjoyment.

[Chester Pearson]

Holy shit! 94 endos? That is pretty impressive. I await the opportunity to vote against a liberation.

[Evil Wolf]

TI blocks talks with The Communist Bloc

You could say they're a real...talk bloc.

[Comrade Anders Blakewood]

Anyone seeing my question? Anyone?

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

I saw it, Anders Good question, really. What stops me from making a puppet, and voting on the RMB after faking it's activity for a month or two? If you don't require them to be WA nations, how do you prevent puppetry?

And Chester, still climbing

[Zenya]

Someone did vote against the proposed condemnations of TCB (which required 100% consensus), however Misley claimed they were me and banned them right before closing the vote xD

Because I was so busy harassing you in Osiris while we were both involved there, right? I only talk shit when you're on the opposite side of where I'm standing; The same seems to be true for you. If I, "forum destroyer Syl" am guilty of bullying by doing that, then so are you, "chronic backstabber Cormac." Wheeeeeeee! Isn't this merry-go-round of pointless name-calling fun? (Answer: Nope.)

[Misley]

As fun as the topic of Cormac is, it has nothing to do with the Red & Black.

[Zenya]

Yeah guys seriously, its not like the very headline article was written about a policy that Cormac proposed and got passed or something, cmon.

[RiderSyl]

As fun as the topic of Cormac is, it has nothing to do with the Red & Black.

Misley, I don't like the subject this thread is on either, honestly, but it's not off-topic at all.

He directly addressed me in his comment, referencing the region the Red & Black news service belongs to.
My original comment he is responding to had to do with the region the Red & Black news service belongs to.

That's like Unibot saying a conversation including The Rejected Realms has nothing to do with The Rejected Times.

Eek! My region has gone rogue and has moved forces in to HELP you guys! What has the world come to?

Are you going to hide behind a puppet, or make yourself known?
