Eliminating cynicism doesn't mean I'm going to take military action, or any action in fact, against TWP!

Oh my god...

Then how do you propose to do it? Because I'm pretty sure the Cynicism of TWP's elite class is pretty much part of their NSDNA.
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.

Now, now. Did I ever say military action? I am not exactly one to imply impossibilities. You trying to take on TWP would be like Andorra challenging the US :rofl:

The Guardians of TWP, including the "Grump Old Sage" and "Sultan of Snark" have been around TWP since you were running around in Huggies. They're not going anywhere anytime soon and when they do, not much will really change. I guarantee that TWP will be the same when you graduate high school.

I'm not backpedalling. I'm simply saying that I'll eliminate The West Pacific's cynicism WITHOUT taking ANY action against them. I've actually never said that I'd challenge TWP. If you can find that, show it to me.

You can't really eliminate something by inaction. Elimination is kind of an active concept. Did you mean no 'military action'? And again, I'd love to hear how you propose to do it.

You are saying that you are going to eliminate TWP's cynicism by doing nothing. What kind of insane logic is this?

How many people are you taking on? I've genuinely lost count. All Raiders, TWP's allies, The NPO, 'Authortarianism', Common Sense, Basic Logic and Reality Itself. Did I miss anyone?

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret: the only reason you are in any way significant on NS is because of how much of an utter fool you have made out of yourself time and time again. When you aren't conspiring with Nazis you are on multiple useless badge hunts. When you aren't badge hunting, you are lying about your R/D experience. When you aren't lying about your R/D experience, you are making a big fucking deal of something that no one gives a fuck about in order to build up your bloody ego. Just stop with all of it. It's pathetic. You will never be able to get yourself out of the hole you have dug so you might as well just give up and go crawl back to your memes and become an RPer or some shit.

Some regions TWP has embassies with: the Pacific, Osiris, Balder, and the South Pacific, the Kingdom of Great Britain, Europeia, and the Glorious Regions of Iwaku. And you just threatened all of them. Good fucking luck, pal. I reiterate the first part of my post directed towards you.

I assure you, any attempt to infiltrate TWP's allies would be met with failure if you were the one to lead them.

You literally did every one of those things. I can ask literally anyone else posting here and they would agree.

Yes, you do. It's called being politic. And even just trying to take on the NPO is ridiculous. They have been around more or less for longer than you've been able to walk. Some memer isn't going to take them down anytime soon and Perg is one of the scariest chaps you will ever meet.

That's out of context, as I didn't even know anything at the time. I hadn't organized anything, either.

And I am, and have been, no longer aligned with Nazis. *sighs*

You didn't know the region Nazi Europa were Nazis?

But you've done all those things.

And targeting the NPO isn't going to eliminate the Cynicism of TWP's elite class, and again... there's absolutely nothing you can do to overthrow the NPO. I would believe in Unibot suddenly having a change of heart and embracing full on 100% Raider Purist doctrine and joining TBH over believing you have a chance at overthrowing the NPO.

Dude, you still don't really know all that much.
