I stand corrected. Capital respects capital. We have the clickbait market cornered and you've got the enthusiastic larper demographic locked down. While I confess that my telegrams are not high art, the following isn't Crime and Punishment either.

And in that letter, I go on to a brief introduction to what people can expect in the region. Really, very standard. Aggrandized? Sure. Clickbait? Hardly. People get to my region, they get a position in government, the ability to legislate, an active community, and the ability to conquer.

Enlighten me, since I've been out of your sphere for a decent few years now, how is TI going with those things it promised so early on? Is it at all a new DEN, or has it declined substantially, or somewhere in between?

You've given Gest a chance to hype TI
What are you doing

EDIT: Gest, you didn't take the chance to hype TI. What are YOU doing?

If you got people to sign off on the word Potentialism and to take it seriously without batting an eye, than my respect good sir.

I'm not going to debate the merits of my ideology in your thread, but suffice it to say, it's served us well. Will it work for every region? Possibly not, but it works for ours.

Fair. Maybe go Dubai and build a city or something?

I must say it's really funny how Gest has fallen from a pretty respectable figure in Raiding to an absolute joke who'll be remembered for nothing more than Predator and running all his regions into the ground.

So, from the looks of things, you haven't updated your orders of the day in over two months, I haven't seen many tags of yours, or many of your people during my (admittedly brief) observations of update for shits and giggles. Inactivity and lack of updating happens sometimes with smaller orgs, and maybe there's an offsite RP culture or a functioning government that keeps things running smoothly. Not sure, not really going to check. Anyone in this region is more than welcome to tell me how your RP culture is.

As for the theme, it's really rather generic. Bad Latin, A fist replacing a swastika in imagery, red and black color scheme. What's your shtick? If you want to be a successful raider org, you gotta do something unique. Not sure what that is, but really, there's nothing you guys are doing publicly right now that's different from every other raider region trying to make it in this game.

For a new region, I'd say you're promising, but I don't think you're quite there yet. You still have potential, and maybe you can establish an identity before inactivity plagues your region. Otherwise, it might become an inactive mess that's hawked by someone utterly unrelated years down the road for the name alone, perhaps with the help of a lesser-known player still left in the region trying to make it big in this game off of minimal effort.

You are missing Syb's point which caused him to further miss his own point. He's asking who you are. Like personally as a region. He's not asking for your name or your location or what you do or any of that. He's asking a deeper question here. Who are you? Search yourself.

Alas how heartbroken I am to think that in 10 years time the children of tomorrow won't remember my contributions to NS. How envious I am of you Tim. In 10 years time the youth in between their anime marathons, twitch streams, and VR helmet gaming, will compose poems about your NS deeds. And none of them will mourn for Gest and his Ninevehs. Somehow I'm going to have to find a way to endure that worst of fates.

Aw cute, at least you've proven you have the ability to speak about more than how supposedly rich you are.

Of course, we all know your real sins are the affairs you let keep going on in DEN.

So, I'm gonna ask the question here. Why are y'all updating with KR? Y'all might be a newer, smaller region, but surely you must have heard that they're pretty obvious Nazi sympathizers, if not Nazis themselves, and working with them has long been thought of on the same level as working with NE.
