The only position I hold in NationStates is one of Vice Chancellor in Europeia, a position which is a glorified election commissioner. My words are backed by no one but myself.


Understood Ma'am, thank you for the clarification. Unfortunately I only had the words above to go on when the post was made.

If your info is from Don, that is probably the problem you're having. As you must know by now, he'll throw anyone under the bus to evade responsibility.

Aren't you just a total sweetheart Cormac.. If we want to talk about throwing people under the bus we need not look any further then you mate. What exactly are you now? Raider? Defender? Give it a year, it'll change and everyone close to you now will become enemy number one the moment you switch. But hey, that's really none of my business.

I left KGB upon learning you returned and haven't had anything to do with it since getting messaged last night. I'm not interested in putting effort towards getting you banned. I'm not interested in going out of my way to get you in trouble. If I were, I'd be sharing why you're apologizing to anyone who will listen.

Give it a year, it'll change and everyone close to you now will become enemy number one the moment you switch. But hey, that's really none of my business.

But unlike you, I don't throw the people who are most loyal to me under the bus and then try to blame it on other people to avoid bearing the brunt of their anger. Moreover, I don't throw friends under the bus for foreign affairs gain, and if someone does something that requires me to ban them I ban them because what they did was wrong and has to have consequences -- not because it's politically expedient and I'm cowering in fear wondering how this region or that region will react if I don't ban them. I suppose that is the petty insecurity of a UCR Founder whose region's existence dangles by a tenuous thread that could snap at any moment, leaving people not remembering the region even existed a year later.

I may change alignments like I change socks, but I'm not you. I have class, honor, and a region that will still be here a year from now.

You really are a sweetheart and a kind person at heart. I really am serious when I thank you for the assessment of my region. It shows what I need to improve upon. Regardless of popular opinion I'm not too bad of a person, and I do truly love you and wish you all the success in this game. Stay chill Cormac <3 <3 <3

Well, err... I'm just an outsider, so I have no idea what happened, and what I said might not hold any water at all.

But I just want to say that you're quite the person for apologizing and owning up to your mistakes. Though of course, you have to work on what you said, that's all!

Cheers, and good luck with your future endeavors, and relationships with other people here in NS! =)

NSG is super srs biz. ... Apparently, so is NSGP, based on my current stalking of the GP forum.Though NSG and NSGP seem to have a real thing for repeated blunt force applied to long-deceased equines, so I guess they got that in common.

GP takes itself so seriously because there is a seriously blurred IC/OOC line that gets crossed a lot. Attacks on someone's play tend to get bound up on attacks on people's character, especially once actual OOC discussion of OOC topics on various fora and discord channels and servers gets taken int account.

I never knew you, but I know what it's like to say things you regret when emotions take over. There's a family member where little things we do set each other off into HUGE verbal fights because unaddressed tension has built up for years and we barely have effective communication. I'm surprised we both agreed to family counselling. Forgiveness and attempt to understand is the only way it happened. If you're really willing to improve yourself, you deserve a chance. :hug:
