I was going to bump the "I felt left out" thread, but it was locked.

I felt left out. It was my pet ideology for almost a year and treated as a crazy fringe dweller. Now people care, but I'm not remotely part of it.

Anyways guys, I think we should get a few WA nations to Normandy, have a drunken party, and wake up with me as delegate. :P

Seriously though, do you think I have a chance in "liberating" Osiris, become provisional Pharaoh, and then have a referendum to either form a republic or retcon the last nine months?

No.

Why not? Because I only have been delegate of one region?

No, because you are not known to anyone in that region who has influence. You'd be best supporting one of the people who have the influence to change things.

Or just putting a puppet in the region and joining the forum - becoming a productive member of the community. See how that works out for you.

Random question: What size does your region have to be to have any credibility around here? Of course if you can raid, it doesn't matter how big your regions is, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about actual regions where if their leaders talk, you'll listen.

Eastern Europe has 25 endos, which is not enough as I have discovered. 50? 70? 100?

You would need at least two known other players and, like, 50 or more endorsements.

Once I get settled with my studies, I'd be happy to move a nation over again and chat from time to time.

Peacezone theory is pretty interesting and deserves more attention than consideration than it presently receives as a fringe ideology and Codgerism. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I think it's different and interesting.

Size is a factor, but I think it's the number of well-recognised gameplayers known to be active in the region that counts most.

I think it depends. You can have a very large region, but not be listened to. I don't even mean puppet dumps, but you look at regions like... I think it was called Asylum, that was more isolationist. I feel like it's important to be:

- Fairly large
- Have an active and -dedicated- community
- Build a presence for the region, so that they associate with the region.
- For some regions and people, having an active forum is important.



Idk, it's tough to say really... it's all about perspectives really.

Kyzikos or Epogennick are the best R/D regions. Every single nation in both is involved with R/D gameplay. It's amazing really.

If you want to defend, join the FRA. If you want to raid, join The Black Hawks or the UDL*. If you want to do whatever it is imperials do, join the UIAF**. None of those are regions, so you can R/D and only have one region to commit to. yayz!

*Technically, the UDL's outlook on Raiding is that it is bad. Though whether this translates into it's modus operandi is up for debate.
**Not 100% sure if you have to be in a UIAF member region (The New Inquisition, The Land of Kings and Emperors and Albion) to enlist.

Not at all. If you really thought raiding was bad, you'd be taking steps to ensure region's you've infiltrated with plants like Ho Ho Ho were truly safe.

50 is pushing it, i'd say 25 to be able to make some noise.

Also, it depends on what well known members you have with you. For instance, a region with me and Blaat in it wouldn't give you the most serious image. You'd get a lot of sheep jokes.
