I liked it better when the Chat thread was The United Defenders League's official thread. Kept our page up at the top of Gameplay. :lol:

I participate in a lot of regions for chat and fun, but I've kept my citizenships down to Eastern Europe, Airspace, TRR and Balder. It's too easy to be enticed to get citizenship just because you are friends with the people there, but I hope to set an example it's perfectly acceptable not to, and you should only get citizenship if you actually intend to contribute to a region.

Crushing Our Enemies wrote:Peacezone - a region with no founder nor regional delegate. People can get as angry as they want at one another, and disagree as much as they like, but no one can take violent action. People can gain influence, but it doesn't mean anything. People can create forums, but those forums could not be officially tied to the region, as no one has the ability to put them in the WFE. Any "leadership" would be symbolic and powerless, because they have no ability to enforce any policies or exert their will on another nation.

It'd be weird. Possibly completely pointless.


It all began here, 1 year and a week ago, page 39 of this thread.

Happy Anniversary to Peacezone Theory! :clap:

It's partly because it's my sound recorded on Karp's computer over Skype. >_> We'll try something else for next time.

It's not bad, I can still understand you, but the audio quality's just not super-duper-fantabulous. The way you're doing it is fine.
