"Why doesn't someone do something"

Because there's no incentive when plans laid for years can still easily fail.

One of the best parts about "retirement" is pushing others into doing things and not needing to be concerned with the consequences.

I mean is that not the risk with any plans within NS whether now or before?

*gives a thumbs up* Aye.

But really: multilateral efforts are always greasy dumpster fires worth a thousand threads of fun and acrimony. Bonus points for any and all diplomatic proxy wars.

A 2016 Sovereignty Convention? (To pick up where the Lazarus one failed)

The Pantheon 2.0?

The Iron Curtain?

Do it. Do it. Do it...

I never pushed, suggesting then praising someone for having such a great idea works much better :P

Blame the earlier mods for letting me slip through. By the time the name reports started I was already here a few years. They tried to play catch up with my puppets though, Drop Your Condom was deleted then undeleted with a stern comment about knowing when to stop.

I'm looking for willing nations who might want to do an Ask Me Anything in AWP. Hopefully wouldn't be too time-consuming (just to pop in over a few days and respond to questions), and would be a great opportunity for any regions or nations who want to get to know our region better, want to promote their brand or just want a change of scenery :blush:

Any takers? If not I'll have to go round nagging the more interesting ones of you

The fleas decided to massively spam district 12, then TBH, then take it to tg spam as well. Apparently a sweep and warning that a dos was being considered wasn't enough.

Oh, lovely. Seems they went down the problematic road fast, always a shame when players decide to just go off and rulebreak. Hopefully they'll wise up before DOS, if they choose to keep it up, then they deserve it when it comes.
