I am tired of the SC being pulled into every penny ante region that may have been raided once upon a time. I am tired of the interminable debate as to who constitutes a "native" and who does not, and why some claims have stronger merit despite nations existing in a region for similar amounts of time. Most of all, however, I am tired of the defender sycophants who have failed to grasp that the raiding game is part of NS and that not everybody against a liberation is somehow aiding and abetting the forces of invasion.
That is not to include some of the more serious defenders here - I think that many people's intentions are pure, but that the execution is being botched. This kind of reintroducing liberations until one sticks just serves to cheapen what's left of the SC's value. And as others have asked, what's changed in the past month to warrant a second vote on this?
So, nothing's changed in the past month, or is the petty sniping more interesting than providing justification for (or against) the liberation?
