The Independent Defense Corps

Postby Leviathen » Thu Oct 10, 2013 1:25 am

The Independent Defense Corps

Greetings all;

My name is Lucius Albert Telarious of the Imperial Kingdom of Leviathen.

In my early days of NS I was a defender, and to this day I believe in defending. Franken4Prez took me under his wing in the IDC (Independent Defense Corps) and I hope that legacy can be continued today.

Should I find enough nations engaged in this project I wish to revive the IDC. Defenders should defend the weak, not the fascists and imperialists I've heard defenders as of late defending. If there are any defenders left interested in an apolitical defense of NS I encourage them to register for IDC membership and assist me in the reformation of the IDC. If not, I fear the reformation of the IDC will be an effort which does not reflect the current nature of NS, though I will be prepared to lead us through this passage of time.

What the IDC Is:

A union of nations against unwarranted aggression against nations and regions
A defense organization which mobilizes against unwarranted foreign oppression regardless of the region
A force for peace and stability in the world
A defense army against fascism

If you are interested in IDC membership telegram Leviathen and take part in the effort to reform the IDC.

As an alignment-neutral, immobile WA, former defender who's terrible at R/D and doesn't actually care that much about raiders and their ebil ways, am I allowed to join?

You're sticking to that, huh?

Hmm...

Yeah, veeeeery apolitical.

Apolitical defending would be defending regional sovereignty regardless of the political beliefs of the victim or aggressor. Try again.

Imperialists don't need defenders to defend us - and oh, wait, they don't.

:lol:
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

I was not aware defenders had been protecting us. :eyebrow:

Regardless, we are more than capable of looking after ourselves, thank you.

Defenders should only defend the weak? If that is the 'old-school defending' you tout, I'd hate to see what NS was like in 2004.

Old school defenders had a tendency to raid founderless raider regions :P Defend the weak by beating them over the head.

Now that a significant amount of criticism has been made, lets see if this really goes anywhere.

Good luck Leviathen! It would be nice if you succeed, because right now, no one seems to care to stand in our path.

Ah well, appears it's failed already. Your home region, Independent Defense Corps, is now under the control of The Black Riders.

Bad start. Best of luck going forward though.
