Statement on Sister Sinkers
A memorandum of understanding on Sinker relations.

Acknowledging that the Rejected Realms has, from time immemorial until 26 November 2024, served as the only region where ejected nations were received;

Recognizing that on 26 November 2024 the regions of the Outback and the Plains of Perdition were created, on which that day both started to receive ejected nations, alongside the Rejected Realms;

Declare that the Rejected Realms, the Outback, and the Plains of Perdition (hereafter “regions”) mutually recognize one another as “Sister Sinkers”.

The Rejected Realms, the Outback, and the Plains of Perdition jointly declare the following:

All regions recognize the Government of The Rejected Realms in accordance with the Constitution of The Rejected Realms.

All regions recognize the Government of The Outback in accordance with the laws as established by the community.

All regions recognize the Government of the Plains of Perdition in accordance with the Covenant of Radiance.

All regions declare support for permanent structures of regional authority as they develop in the new Sinkers. The regions recognize the unique situation the new Sinkers have entered into this world and support their development in their own time. The regions agree that this Statement may be supported with additional agreements as and when required.

All regions agree to communicate and avoid returning significant threats to one another through a process deemed “Non-Extradition”. Non-Extradition shall be discussed and decided through a communications channel involving the leadership of all regions.

All regions will seek to communicate and collaborate regarding on-site moderation purposes to further relative harmony in each region and avoid circular travel of troublemakers,

All regions support one another in recruitment efforts and agree to not poach from one another.

Signed,

We're proud of this first step forward with our Sister Sinkers and look forward to what we can accomplish together.

[Cyptopir]

Congratulations to the new governments, and to us for finally having regions in which to share our troubles!

Nice to see the Sinkers get along, except for one thing:

All regions agree to communicate and avoid returning significant threats to one another through a process deemed “Non-Extradition”. Non-Extradition shall be discussed and decided through a communications channel involving the leadership of all regions.

Playing Sinker ping-pong with troublemakers would be incredibly funny.

[Earthly Cossack]

Congrats on Outback and PoP on being our new buddies in surviving trolls and fascists together!

I understand why they agreed not to, but I do think a friendly game of Spam Potato would be funny as well lol

[Cappedore]

"Sister Sinkers" is absolutely iconic, I love this trio <3

[Aadhirisian Puppet Nation]

All hail the sinkers! Sinkerdom reigns supreme !

That policy doesn't prevent agreed upon sport like that if we ever want to organize an event around it (which I think would be fun - if anyone is concerned about fairness to the ejectee we could make a ball-nation). Rather, the non-extradition policy is about security.

If someone is endorsement swapping in Perdition, and one of us expends influence to eject them, we wouldn't want them to get ejected back around (allowing them to continue, and the influence still being spent). The non-extradition policy aims to prevent that sort of inconvenience.

End of true sinkers

Fair enough, I'd love to see sinker ping-pong one day

Warning User! You have used decimate incorrectly. The paramilitary faction of linguistic prescriptivists will be sending a team to your location as soon as their heated argument over the phrase 'filling someone with holes" is concluded.

[Jewish Partisan Division]

Congrats to all parties involved

(Hopefully we get sinker ping pong soon)

[Notanam]

theyre already calling me the ma long of sinker ping pong. no competition close to me out here.

[Bytonic]

I disown this statement. Mad Jack, you have dishonoured this region you should feel ashamed. How dare you stand for this blatant destruction of what makes the Rejected Realms great.

[Haymarket Riot]

Good shit!

[Belleroph]

Always nice to see cooperation between regions like this, I look forward to this new sisterhood of sinkers!

Let's assume for the sake of argument that the introduction of the new Sinkers is the "blatant destruction of what makes the Rejected Realms great" - which I do disagree with, for the record - TRR is not the only region in history to be without an eject button. They have a unique and strong identity which is capable of enduring fine in spite of this change. It weakens them, objectively on a mechanical level, but does not destroy their identity.

Back to the point though, even accepting that premise, what is MadJack to do about it? The regions were created and will remain as they are regardless. TRR gains nothing from a combative relationship with the new Sinkers, just as the new Sinkers gain nothing from a combative relationship with TRR.

Not Zaolot, that’s for certain.

Sometimes the random bystanders among us have wildly incorrect opinions and cannot resist voicing them. This is normal for this person, as is not knowing who he is (I still don’t but he does recognize us I suppose).

Glad to see that this has panned out. Best of luck to you all going forward.

I don’t know who they are either apart from them being noisy and a bit of a pain in the SC, especially when they’re being told they’re wrong.
