You know manipulating quotes isn't really appropriate, right?

In fact, though I'm not a forum moderator and have never claimed to be one, that could be considered flaimbaiting! Here:

Flamebaiting: Posts that are made with the aim of angering someone indirectly. Not outright flame, but still liable to bring angry replies. Flame baiting is a far more subtle and covert action; it is an underhanded tactic that is designed to provoke a response from another player. It's in the same context of trolling but with flamebaiting it's just the one person. Also included under flamebaiting is malicious quote editing, changing the contents of a quoted post without showing the original text, either through color changes or strike-out.

Ah yes, because quote manipulation is totally appropriate at all times.

Really, it shouldn't be too shocking considering where it's coming from, but even you are better than that Shrew.

Jocospor is, as you would be aware, not the most technologically inclined person alive. When Castelia first began feeding you intel, he mistakenly thought the best in our SC members rather than jumping to the (correct) conclusion that you'd conned Castelia into being your mole, and so made the post you're referencing.

I personally informed him that "invisible scripts" would be exceedingly unlikely, and then proceeded to check through the Discord server and confirm there were no untrustworthy plugins. If for some reason you think we moved to our new Discord server for this reason, I don't really know what else to tell you other than you're wrong.

I'll add I also really don't envy Bormiar in having to speak with you, but you know, up to him.


This is an impressive theory but if you want it to catch on you're going to have to spend an exorbitant amount on telegram stamps.


Sure Skippy ;)

No, that actually is an accurate reading of what happened. "Invisible scrips" was a theory perpetuated by me, not Shrew.

If they're going to immediately jump to assocating a Nazi flag on a nation who wasn't even in the CCD as a "CCD related matter" I'm probably not going to respond in an amazingly polite way.

Not that I think you are in this case Shrew, but being the bigger person is an admirable trait.

There's still ways to be not amazingly polite, and not do quote editing lol

Of course, they want more corrupt dictators. And they'll get that, with puppets.

We've never inflated our numbers with puppets, and our ratio of WA nations to total nations is actually very high. If you run the numbers it's actually significantly higher than most other large UCRS, including 10000 Islands and Europeia.

If you're going to imply we're apparently inflating our numbers at least make your claim reasonable.

There's a kernel of truth here, actually. At least within the past week CCD's numbers haven't inflated all to much.

Being the person who did actually run the numbers, though, I am going to take exception with your usage of the term 'significantly higher.'
~%35.4 of Europeia's nations are WA nations.
~%34.7 of XKI's nations are WA nations
~%36.4 of CCD's nations are WA nations

1% isn't very significant, and becomes even less less so when you take into consideration the fact that XKI is almost 8x your size, and Europeia is almost 5x your size.
If anything, because of CCD's smaller overall population, a difference in WA population should be more pronounced, but it's not.
