We've seen ops triggered off the forum before, so triggering with the site is valid. More difficult with variance unless it's a really loose trigger, but valid.

It's well-documented that IRC lag was the cause of 99.99% of the UDL trigger failures. That, and Elu being a raider spy.

I remember watching someone try this years ago and everyone trolling it and sending in puppets to comment because it was popcorn material and all the defenders were spectating.

This is Tinhampton; I'm just doing NS Sports things with this nation.

...but why is New Bradfordsburg banjecting so many nations from Declansburg?
****** The Grand Republic of Saint Eleanor - area 2,863mi2, population 489,816, 1.6 cups of coffee/Eleanorian/day - it's 2000 (OOC: obvious Tinhampton puppet)
BoF76 quarterfinalists --- WC91 participants

Why? George Mitcham, General then and now, cofounded the National Liberation Front in 1971 to demand a free Saint Eleanor. He got his wish in '75 after a 15-month war: becoming President, appointing notable NLF friends and some charity's executive director as VPs and calling them legislators. He has retained power through oil money; zero income tax; free healthcare, schooling, public transport - and markets; tolerating dissent on apolitical matters; allowing private gun ownership (with plenty of training) to protect against future invasions; high-quality PR; and football.

Because Sanctum and Layem have declared a war against our region. They've been saying incredibly nasty things about us in dispatch posts that they know aren't true, and they've been trying to infiltrate our region and bragging about how they're going to destroy Declansburg as a region with all their spy nations. It all started after we cancelled embassies with Layem. We made that decision because Layem is in an alliance with Sanctum, and we don't want to be friends with anyone who is friends with Sanctum. We also ended up seeing some really mean content about me on Sanctum's discord server. It was just hateful and mean. And at that point, it was also super obvious that Layem was actively working against us with nations we want nothing to do with.

When we cancelled embassies with Layem they freaked out and threatened to destroy us. We didn't back down.

We're in a bit of a crisis here. We don't know what to do. Our nations are really rattled by their actions. Layem and Sanctum have completely taken away the peace that we had. Our RP has stopped, our map updates have stopped, we're trying to handle the situation but it is a struggle. I hate banning nations. But we have to do it right now. Most of them have been obvious puppets sent in and it's just so bad we can't trust much of anyone entering the region at this very moment. It's really sad.

EDIT: The nations we're banning are arrivals since all of this started on Friday. We're not banning our citizens, we do have to revoke invitations for nations that have arrived since Friday though. As for the content Sacntum has posted about me, it's offsite stuff, and I'd rather not get into that if a discussion is to be had. It's really nasty and hurtful, that's all I'll say.
