I must admit, I am a week behind schedule, but if all goes to plan, I will have a small population surge within the next 10 days. This will be the first of many.

As promised, the first small population surge took place today. We are almost caught up and ready to get back on track.

We have finished our "Military Divisions Page" (link edited into the first post), and the military plans and structure is set and final. We are ready to begin the next step.

Which is failing? Yay!
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.

Right...

Well if anyone's going to insult me, you could at least try and make it insulting. Simply stating that my region is failing when it isn't doesn't change anything.

I also would not recommend using this thread for such purposes.

Don't y'all think that this is unreasonably critical? At least let them get off the ground, before saying that they have failed.

A population surge isn't worth much IMO unless most of the nations in it stay active.

Perhaps, but we won't need it much longer. Not to mention that all of our puppets there have enough influence to remain there long enough to get a permanent one up and running.

I CAN justify what I said(that this is a failed region). Nephmir said this in the locked thread:

"Before I get more people, I must first prove that power does not reside in numbers, but courage and strength. Only once I have proved that, by first playing the role of Invader, then I can begin to accept more."

So have you proved it? It's been 1 month! I thought he would have done something significant and different by now but all he's done is done some novice-level raiding of regions which are on the brink of non-existence/contain non-active players, spew rhetoric on the forum and make empty promises to those who actually believe him. He's not any different from any other noob raider region. I hope we can all see this once and for all.

How many times do I have to say it? This grows tiresome

For the last time, you expect too much too soon. late February is when it all begins. Everything up to this point has been training.

That is an interesting idea. I'm not sure how I'd go about doing that, though.

If you want to argue, send me a telegram. If you do not have meaningful criticism, whether encouraging or discouraging, please do not post here, and I don't want to hear it.

The meaningful criticism, Neph, is that this idea is not new, has failed numerous times before and does not have any new ideas as to how to make it work. You seem to be an ambitious and committed sort with some imagination and a capacity for some degree of organization. If you want to change the nature of NS, you're not going to do it like this - use your abilities in a way that actually will change NS, not with quixotic crusades like this one.

Oh, so instead I should engage in the never ending struggle of Defending vs. Raiding? Sounds like a plan!

I'll pass. I will continue moving forward, and my mind is set.

You are refusing participation in an actual thriving part of the game in favor of one that has, historically, never been successful just to prove a point.

Where I come from, that's called "obstinance."

There are ways to change the paradigm of R/D that aren't this, but the fundamental mechanics of the game are not something you're going to change.
