ITDA - United Defense Force

[Heaveria]

Hehe lost cause. I took it up some months ago and I must say it's no longer a lost cause. In actuality, it's larger than FORGE when it comes to citizens and is growing. I'm glad it's come this far but it certainly didn't happen overnight. Although, I must say it was a lost cause at one point and I did have my doubts back then, but we didn't give up.

Are you meaning to tell me that after Crystalsummer left and Vincent Drake got on board things actually started coming together? I wonder why..

Look, Crystalsummer has been gone for a long time and I even proposed his banning in the organization which had passed. It no longer exists due to a repeal. This has been many months ago. Things have been rolling good for a while now, and it's just now that the military aspect is rolling. Nevertheless, much of the dispatches, NSGP, whatever has been close to finished before Vincent came. When he got there he provided extremely valuable feedback on improvements and things are to roll out. He's only been there for about a week and we are extremely great full for what he's advised us.We have applications that have come in. Give us a chance beforehand. But ITDA had been growing for the last few months and will continue to.

No idea. You aren't going to tell me that there are 70+ puppets though.

How many pupoets do you expect in a 317-nation region with only 11 endos on the Delegate?

Yeah, I agree, I brought up to them. FNR got a huge surge of puppets. We did at the same time gain quite a few new active people but it doesn't seem to correctly match and the patterns of incoming nations was also certainly not normal.

To be fair, he DOES have the largest region in the ITDA.

What percentage of the current population do you think is made up of puppets?

Somewhat. Enadia I believe has the greatest population of WA delegates with a delegate with 44 endos.

Stay away from GCR!

Aside from that, might want check out your "shop" later that day.

Hev,
I never said you where doing a bad job in office. I know that you've been working really hard to bring the place together, but the core problem here is that it is a lost cause. After I had my feud with Crystalsummer, I left the ITDA. I didn't run off to found another organization. I went back to the UDS and started building the UDSAF with Lenlyvit and Kanglia. We built the UDSAF to be self sufficient and independent of other organizations. Although not huge, the UDSAF is a reliable ally for the Wardens and the rest of defenderdom. The problem is that the ITDA doesn't have any fighting force to back up its claims. That's partly why I've let myself be so hard on you. In my opinion Hev, you've got to go to places like the FNR and really build the FNRAF. After that, you'll be able to shut me up.

There's much more to the organization than just military and I had focused on the other aspects first and we did a good job of it. Now it's time to get the military aspect rocking! But it'll be best to show in actions, not words. It'll take time to get through everything to be self-sufficient as well, but we will achieve.

I'm not expecting 70+ of them, though.

"Larger than FORGE"...... Wow, didn't realize that the ITDA had 1,400 nations in it before FORGE collapsed. Truly bigger than FORGE.... Or not, considering ITDA doesn't have 1,400 nations in it because it has around 800 nations instead.

but FORGE did collapse, and the ITDA is now bigger than it.

UDS, LCN, TRTHBB, etc either are/have/thinking about leaving making FORGE in actually smaller when considering nation count. But before that, yes FORGE was much larger (about 2x).

Basically what The Greatest Bestest Nation said:

Now before everyone else gets angry over this post I will say a few things. We shouldn't be putting one another down or talking about who's better. We shouldn't be talking about the past or what people did wrong. I will tell you what we should be talking about.
That's Heaveria!! He has made something that is becoming amazing. Hes building something no one thought was possible. He took the ITDA and made it something. I ask you all to leave me out of this and congratulate him on his hard work. No one cares what Crystalsummer or Thatcher did. Those administrations ended a while back. It's Heaveria now and it's time to support him. As for me I want to apologize to the entire community for anything I get did. I made some mistakes and now I'm paying for it. As for The Noble Thatcherites, I'm not going to comment on your remarks because I'm going to be the adult here and say I'm sorry. That's all I can say. But I'm proud of The ITDA. And well this is all I will say. Thank you and I hope some of you can forgive me.
