The Rejected Times

[Cormacville]

Come on... which GCRs would you want to see get couped?

Hmmmmm... let me see. *flutters his eyes at Rachel*

Was this an implied threat against Balder? Gosh, I think it might have been. Either that or more of your really bad flirting, I just can't tell which.

Is his flirting history even in question?

Let's ask NES to rate his performance.

[Benevolent Thomas]

including the smiting of Afforess’ abomination.

Ow. I take it 10KI has no interest in resuming a relationship with Capitalist Paradise from that remark.

Because that is definitely what I said. I did not know that NS++ was the equivalent of CP and to say "fuck NS++ recruiting" actually means "fuck CP". Tighten up.

Also, I'm not aware of any relations between our regions that are in risk of being discontinued.

I don't think he even got to first base with me...

And everyone knows I am a complete slut.

The funniest thing about this is that his one sentence was more entertaining, interesting and thought provoking than the entire article

It's not. You didn't say NS++, you mentioned my name. You called it "Afforess' Abomination". I'm part of Capitalist Paradise government.

Anyway, this is just one of many grievances I currently have against 10KI. I'm banned from your forums for reasons Grub could not adequately explain, but hinted it was because of some WA resolution he didn't like (I also understand Cerb had an agenda against me). I was an ambassador on your forums, so that adds injury to insult. I never received a notification of the ban, simply discovered it when checking some months back.

I don't want to sidetrack this thread, but so far, unimpressed with 10KI government. You appear to be continuing the same policies as previous regimes. I miss the days of Ananke II, the last 10KI delegate I respected.

[Unibot III]

Some of our newer staff members received promotions for their work on Issue XVII- congrats! Likewise, Starrie was awarded our Pulitzer Prize for Excellence in Journalism with his article, "Are WA Liberation Nominees More Likely to Be Invaded?". That was a helluva debut!

Perhaps you would get a better response if you spelt Grub and Ananke's names correctly? Or perhaps if CP hadn't been allied with DEN, who XKI is at war with? Or maybe if CP hadn't griefed Urbanites, one of XKI's oldest friends? What about if you didn't spread lies and misinformation in order to try and get a SC resolution to pass?

Frankly, the fact that you are "unimpressed" with XKI's government, should tell them that they are doing many things right.

Not to mention his sending of recruitment telegrams like this to 10KI residents:

Hello XYZ,

I am contacting you because each of you represent active Capitalist or Libertarian nations in NationStates. I encourage each of you to consider relocating to Capitalist Paradise.

Capitalist Paradise represents a region of elevated political and social discourse, safe from unsavory elements in NationStates that enjoy destroying regions. We have an effective, small regional government <blah blah blah>...

I encourage you to relocate. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Minister of Interior, Capitalist Paradise
Afforess

I am not surprised the current government decided on a forum ban.

Not an intentional slight, the result of writing at 1am...

DEN doesn't exist and CP isn't allied with them. If you plan on holding grudges over things that predate 99.9% of our members, that's rather childish.

Or maybe if CP hadn't griefed Urbanites, one of XKI's oldest friends?

As far as I am aware, that is just a vicious rumor. I have never seen facts that support that CP ever was involved. No government announcements, forum posts, etc from that era ever mention it.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

The telegram did not specifically target any regions, recruitment is legal, 10KI isn't an Arnhelm signatory...so I have no idea what you are complaining about.

An article with my very own name on it.

Arnhelm is Raider Unity without a military.

You may want to check the factbook you wrote on the history of CP.....was that not a factual account?

Congrats on the promotions and award for The Rejected Times. Always an interesting read.

[The Red Tabby]

Yes, I must admit that our Dear Leader looks forward to his Rejected Times, and he often reads it on the veranda at his palatial, yet noble and proletarian dacha on the shores of Lake Miao, here in beautiful Felis Catus. I'm sure I saw him smiling under that glorious Socialist mustache of his, as he perused this latest issue! Always a good read.

The Gameplay forum could do with some new guides - Naivetry's ones that are currently pinned are rather out of date. If someone wants to write a replacement for the "military gameplay" one, then including feeder/sinker couping would be a good idea. Anyone that does want to pursue that, I'd recommend TGing Nai to see if she's ok with the re-use of some of her content.

Just a idea:

Moderation staff should commission a complete guide to 2 people representing both raiding and defending

Nice interview, Benevolent Thomas and Unibot.

DEN exists it's just hibernating right now. But its connection to CP is incredibly dated, DEN forces participated in TBH-led invasion awhile back. For 10KI to reach back to that is a stretch.

[Ananke II]

For 10KI to reach back to that is a stretch.

The history between 10ki and Capitalist Paradise is a complicated one. I've enjoyed talking with a number of CP nations though, Afforess included.

Maybe you two (regions) can get back together some day?

Why should the moderation staff commission it? If 2 people representing both raiding and defender want to work together to write a guide I fail to see why Moderation should be involved in picking them?

Agreed on both counts.

I would like to. Our regions are more similar than dissimilar. However in the past, I was the one making the majority of the effort, and only had positive results with Ananke II. It seems that effort has been long forgotten and now we trade insults instead. There seems to be no willingness to change in 10KI government.

It seems silly to write up a guide before the other potential summit changes are finalized.

[Ananke II]

We probably have about the same number of libertarian/conservative/etc players.
