Oh, Bij1 is the former Art1kel?
I did not know that yet. Good to know. Thanks.

(Yes, I called them "artéénkel" as that was their logo. In the same way I called that group that once sang in the Eurovision song contest "Ogdriene" instead of ogene.)

Prime Minister Mark Rutte has the benefit of managing the pandemic quite well. Rutte managing the pandemic well? First off, reading that sentence from my reply back, made me notice that I did not word it well. "quite well" could be read as extremely well, but that is actually almost the o...

Didn't read through all the comments so far, but I guess all Americans are like "Whoa! You have more than 2 parties?!?!" Yeah, well, it comes with pros and cons, though I think generally the pros outweigh the cons. But sometimes I exaggerate that in a few years time, we will have more part...

[...] expect the mods to take context into their decision [...] I believe mods do take context into consideration. Proof? This whole topic is still here. So for instance using ACAB in the context of discussing whether it is okay to use ACAB on this forum is acceptable, but using ACAB to express you...

True. So?
How does that make it okay for you to call them bastards?

Just read the OP. I fully agree with mods if they don't tolerate ACAB or any other "all X are Y". Even though there are cops that have other morals than you would expect from a cop, as demonstrated in multiple parts of the world recently, this doesn't automatically imply that all cops are ...

I am not going to make a choice in the poll, but I will answer the question "Should religions be taught in schools?" My answer is yes . For people to understand each other, it is necessary to know about each other. To know about people's differences and about what they have in common. To k...

If I would have sold mine for 2.00, someone else only had sell his for 1.99 and I would be stuck with a card no one would buy at that price. I thought selling it for 0.01 while someone was bidding 2.00 for it, was a sure deal for 1.01 One Bank is a very large amount for someone like me and I would h...

I apologize. I see I have mixed up the bids and asks. I will rephrase my question, as it should have read: So, just to be sure I understand; an example. On a card are two bids. One for 0.05 and one for 2.00 Now I ask 0.01 and it is matched to the bid of 2.00 (A trade is due in 1 hour for an averaged...

Thank you for your answer Frisbeeteria. So, just to be sure I understand; an example. On a card are two asks. One for 0.05 and one for 2.00 Now I bid 0.01 and it is matched to the ask of 2.00 (A trade is due in 1 hour for an averaged price of 1.01) But if within that hour one comes along and bids 0....

I think an error has been made. Or there is a bug in the system. Or the system is rigged by a user. I assumed the following: ⋅ When there are multiple bids and just one ask (lower than the lowest bid), the ask and the highest bid will trade (so, the highest bid will get to buy the card at ...

As a fighter for human rights, the VW53ALandian Government cannot neglect the rights of humans in other nations. VW53ALand will stand up against violations of such basic rights.
A proposal, as decent as the current one, should - no must - have our fullest support.

OOC: I feel sorry for the author, and all WA nations, that this proposal was defeated. This would have been one of the most obviously passed resolutions imho. (OOC: Given that punishment is the most common use of forced sterilisation, I advise Maowi to keep that as an integral part of the legislatio...

That would be an obvious first step indeed. I should have thought of that myself. Following the unchecking of the box which controls whether I receive a notice when I receive a Telegram, I did (as expected) not receive any notice when receiving a TG. However, re-checking the box again, immediately g...

I second this issue. Every time I receive a TG, I am also getting two notices. All other notices come single. It's just the receipt of telegrams that's noticed double. It is indeed just a nuisance, not an emergency. Yet I would be very happy if it could be resolved ... in due time. For possible furt...

My "night" line refers to 06:00 GMT - 09:00 GMT when North America has gone to bed and Europe hasn't fully woken up yet. During this time, only 1-3 major players are awake and it's more possible for cards to be traded at the value of half a million commons without interference. Oh? Okay. ...

You seemed to jump between OOC and IC To me, there is almost no difference. I do not assume an IC stance on a matter. My OOC stance is my IC stance. The only difference is the name. If I did not find facts, proof or evidence of something, then I do not play someone who didn't find it, but then I re...

This one first, as I'll need more time processing Bormiar's reply. Koem sells cards to their puppets at an enormous rate in the middle of the night, as seen here https://www.nationstates.net/page=deck/card=2488817/season=1/trades_history=1 This is what Bormiar's metaphors in the proposal refer to. I...

Ah, I could not find that information, as it is always on the top when viewing my own deck. Thank you very much, Refuge Isle . A capacity of only 150?! That is astonishing. However, it still are the game creators who made this possible. It wasn't illegal, so I still think we cannot condemn the nomin...

Correct, you can bid and buy. However, returning to the reaction before, where you quoted me; You can only bid and buy until your money runs out. At that moment, you have to sell (or junk) cards in order to make money. I find it highly unlikely that Koem Kab has a capacity of only ...say 100, or eve...

Explain.

As it stands, VW53ALand has voted against. The resolution makes claims and accusations that are not proven or that are even verifiable false. The nominee is said to be unwilling "to sell art unless the buyer is willing to meet unreasonably high prices". How frustrating this may be, the art...

(OOC: However, clause 4c contains an exception for a ‘compelling situation’, which is vague enough that any government could exploit it via creative compliance.) That is VW53ALand's problem with the vagueness as well. It is mostly due to this that the resolution will not add value. A vague resoluti...

VW53ALand is against the molestation of remains and against the desecration of burial sites. However, we would like to see this go further than just burials and remains decaying. For instance, though not limiting to, cremation is a largely widespread treatment of deceased. We think desecration of fo...

As long as the Most Serene Republic is peaceful, the relative level of conflict in other nations is of their own concern. Then what is Kaiserholt doing in the WA?! Why is it a WA-member if it only looks after itself and does not care about other nations? The WA isn't about one particular nation ( a...
