Not to push you, but I believe the application deadline is coming up and the answer may affect if but certainly how I would apply, and I would assume the answer may have similar affects on others as well.

But I'm not pushing you...please don't ban me. :bow:

You can give an overview of your experience without having to go into details if you'd prefer. Either way, if chosen, you're expected to represent the viewpoints you're saying you hold. If you're not prepared to admit to them publicly, there's no point letting us know privately.

I think Solm would make an excellent inclusion in the summit. As he mentioned, he does a lot of the technical work for UDL and others, and I think he has a very good grasp on the possibilities and limits of scripting, and how technical changes will affect R/D.

Also he's so incredibly nice I don't think I've seen him get angry even once. :P I think he would be a very level-headed participant if selected.
Ballotonia: Astarial already phrased an answer very well. Hence I'll just say: "Me too."1

If the summit is to be held between 25th November 2012 and 11th January 2013, then I may struggle to participate. I will become increasingly busy during that time, and will be completely absent between 14th December 2012 and 11th January 2013.

Just thought you should know.

an update on my self-nomination: I'm not longer a candidate for the summit. Real Life is keeping me ever more busy (in a positive way :)). I estimate that in the upcoming weeks i will have no time to do what's required for such a summit. Therefore, i withdraw my nomination.

Last chance for nominations. The mod team will be locking the thread in a few days and making selections. If you've been considering adding your name, now is the time.

Same here.


No, this is really not suspicious at all, what's keeping those pesky lowlanders busy these days :p (It's probably that we're too scared with Sedge so near Image)

Anyway, I'm out too.

With the Communist Eraser/Warzone Codger nominating himself, as an undisputed expert on the operations of the Warzones, which I understand to be the official (but not well-used) area for R/D operations, I'd like to support his candidacy for the summit.

I, too, support the nomination of Codger, but I am not sure of his actual experience in R/D. Furthermore, what on earth is he doing in EE :blink: Anyway, while he may not be directly active in the R/D game, he understands it from a perspective that nobody else does.

I also agree with this. Codger's got a unique perspective and debates his point of view exceptionally well.

Participants will be notified via TG and will be announced shortly before the summit.

And then everybody spammed refresh on their TG boxes.

<@Eluvatar> Why is SkyDip such a purist raiderist
<+frattastan> Because his region was never raided.
<+maxbarry> EarthAway: I guess I might dabble in raiding just to experience it better, but I would not like to raid regions of natives, so I'd probably be more interested in defense and liberations

And the betting pool is now open.

I'll be compiling the odds myself on each candidate and I will be taking bets. The only sure thing is Fris, and thus bets on whether he will attend will not be accepted.

Can I bet the spread rather than the specific attendees?

The House always wins Bel, I'll see what I can do to accommodate you. Anyone wishing to put forward their own set of odds for my perusal for the official books is welcome to post them or tg me.

I bet that I am not selected.
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.
