I'm about to get wintered so hard. Anything I planned gameplay-wise this weekend just got owned by mother nature.
Does this mean mother nature is a defender?!

Be safe! o/

Mother nature is a counter-raider, a filthy retagger, covering the WFE of the world with white shit!

Mother Nature is the entity that has been watching over you since the beginning...fear not for everything is justified. You have been prevented from your plans because Nature knows there are greater things in store for you. It's all about timing.

And if I am wrong and you are not destined for greatness, then it doesn't matter for greatness is overrated.

Why does TSP always change forum?

Why does Balder always change flags?

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Gameplay has been slower recently, IMHO. No masses of angry roleplayers stomping around, less contentious arguing between factions than usual, relative peace and quiet....

Alright, fess up, who's not doing their job right?

Hopefully it's not Misley

....and there goes the peace and quiet.

I wasn't wrong.

There has been a distinct lack of coups in the game created regions. How long has it been since someone tried to burn one down?

Probably the quickest way to create some drama in NationStates is to announce the creation of a new feeder region for some jaded cosmopolitans to squabble over, ensuring that no grassroots culture ever has the chance to emerge there.

The West Pacific coup wasn't that long ago. But it didn't last very long either.

I was thinking that just the other day too. TEP has also changed their flag so many times.

I'd be for a second Rejected Realms, except TRR2 could only be ejected to by the original TRR, and no one could move there. It would create some fairly interesting gameplay dynamics. I'm not sure if TRR's population justifies a second TRR though, there need to be a few coups and mass ejections to make that a possibility.

Interesting idea. What would it be called? The Trash Can? xD

The Delegate of the RR would be the one ultimately empowered to decide who governed that region though, and people may go overboard in TRR just hoping to be ejected to the other region

Alcatraz, Azkaban, you could go crazy. It doesn't share a theme with the other sinkers (I just searched for a post I saw a while back where Reploid had a number for TRR type regions, but after a long fruitless search and a lot of red herrings I've left it for now), so any sort of theme works, preferably something to do with 'the worst of the worst' type thing. I'm for nations to be able to leave the 'Trash Can', because I'm not too sure about nations being stuck in one place, but nations shouldn't under any circumstance be able to move there of their own choice, even if they have moved from it earlier.

That would be...fun...minus the usual scramble to control a new GCR. And as long as they arrange to be ejected, they certainly can move there of their own choice. It might be a more inconvenient scramble than usual, but a scramble nonetheless.

[Severisen]

Not even. I'd imagine whoever TRR wanted to control it would control it. It would sit empty except those nations. Defenders would never send raiders or random puppets there. And if you can leave, what's the point?

I've got a few ideas regarding that, but I'll sleep on it so others can weigh in (or change the subject completely, this is a neutral thread).

[King Nephmir II]

Nations could be stuck there for a set amount of time before being allowed to leave. Or it could cost influence to leave.

[Xoriet]

You people. Are you constructing a literal sinker where all is lost forever or a region?

Welcome to the Hotel California.

All under the glorious control of the rejected realms. I wonder if it would put TRR more at risk - essentially if you gained control of TRR you would also gain control of a second GCR

Nations could be stuck there for a set amount of time before being allowed to leave. Or it could cost influence to leave.

People would just let their nations CTE, I'd think. Or the ones that stayed would only be there for the control.

Pretty much. I think this would lead to people getting pretty close to breaking site rules on the TRR rmb for example, or otherwise driving TRR natives mad, out of the hope that they would be ejected. Sounds like a bad idea

[Solorni]

Why does Balder always change flags?

I actually have no clue. Pretty sure NES introduced the most recent flag, but then he tells me he never liked it that much. Oh and the NBO flag was a joke of course. There has been a chorus of people who have wanted to have a democratic convention for a flag, which is currently what is happening.

Meh I'd go with End of The Line

Azkaban you say? I approve the creation of this sinker solely for housing the nations that I eject in the name of defending innocent nations/regions. Of course, someone will have to take over the role of ejecting the dangerous nations of the world as I would have to rule over this wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Ultimate Dumb-bum Reject Land gets my vote

[Crazy girl]

Or Hades.

[Siberian Districts]

Or Hades.

Too much like Osiris.
I do like Numero's idea of "Ultimate Dumb-bum Reject Land" though. It's nice and professional.

[Mad-eye Jack]

Not even. I'd imagine whoever TRR wanted to control it would control it. It would sit empty except those nations. Defenders would never send raiders or random puppets there. And if you can leave, what's the point?

And what would even be that great about controlling a region where it is either a bunch of inactive folks or folks even TRR found to be a nuisance, or a region that is essentially a UCR that is gate kept by whoever controls TRR.

Of course if I can send people to Azkaban, sign me up

[Mousebumples]

Or Hades.

I vote Persephone. Haven't we always said we need a female-named GCR?
